I really do not know the details about you. I generally think that if Propecia (finasteride) is working, then just keep to it. If your hair looks the same today as when you started Propecia 2 years ago, that sounds like it’s working just fine. Not everyone will see substantial regrowth, and just keeping the […]

In the first journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine, an article appeared titled, “The Incidence, Prevalence, and Natural History of Erectile Dysfunction“. The article (from Department of Urology, St. James University Hospital, Leeds, UK) covered some important points worth sharing with our readers: 1. “The varying methodologies, definitions, and populations make comparison difficult, […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Male baldness ‘indicates heart risk’ This paper was actually based on meta-analysis of more than 850 existing observational studies, and it found that vertex balding (not frontal hairline balding) lead to an increased heart disease risk. Whether there is anything to it, I couldn’t say… but coincidentally […]
If you didn’t have side effects before, I wouldn’t expect they would appear upon restarting the medication, but I can’t know that for sure. I do believe that much of the panicking posts online are from people that have concluded on their own that Propecia is the cause for most of their problems (real or […]
I don’t know anything about you other than you’re losing hair and smoked for 2 years. Smoking might contribute indirectly in some way, but I doubt that it is the reason your hair is thinning. In the great majority of cases, it is your genetics that causes hair loss. Of course I recommend that you […]
Snippet from the non-hair-loss article: Read the rest — Debate Over Dangers of Egg-Yolk Consumption Continues With New Study The article goes on to point out that the egg industry says the study was poorly done by a longtime critic of the industry, and they cite a small study that disputes the findings. So while […]
I completely agree. We need to have a statistically valid audience for a good prospective summary. Unfortunately, that type of study will take years to obtain and someone has to pay for it.
Snippet from the article published online June 20, 2012: Read the rest at The Oncologist — A Population-Based Nested Case-Control Study in Taiwan: Use of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Did Not Decrease Prostate Cancer Risk in Patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia This study seems to go against the grain of some of the original studies which showed […]
I realize this is a site to discuss and post hair loss related topics and its treatments, but Propecia is not the root of all your problems. You are 23 years old and you think Propecia is causing you to have premature aging? To be clear, I am not suggesting Propecia is or is not […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full story — Could Divorce Trigger Hair Loss in Women? The study looked at sets of identical twins and determined that excessive alcohol and smoking increased the risk, in both men and women. The study also revealed that sun exposure is also believed to be a factor in hair […]
This is not a simple answer for a blog post. I will give a cursory answer to it nonetheless in the hope that what I have to say will help someone and possibly could even save a life. Apologies to those that come here for hair related posts, but this isn’t one of them. Putting […]
Sorry to hear of your hair loss. It seems you have accepted that inevitable. Unfortunately, if you are destined to go completely bald (Norwood 6 or 7) it usually starts very early, possibly as you described. Growing a beard has nothing to do with scalp hair loss. It is in itself a genetic trait (like […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest at the New York Times — The Claim: High Blood Pressure Will Increase People’s Risk of Losing Their Hair Hair loss might be an early indicator of disease risk in some people, but that’s a theory that requires further study.
Jon was only transplanted in the frontal hairline area extending back about 2-3 inches, not elsewhere. He was told that a second procedure would likely be necessary and that he should follow the Master Plan we setup for him. His heavy smoking, the stress in his life, and his genetics are not really helping the […]
Snippet from the press release: Read the full text: Smokers With Common Autoimmune Disorder At Higher Risk For Skin Damage The information comes from a study published in the Journal of Rheumatology, and “has clearly linked skin damage and rashes to smoking in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).” The great majority of those with […]
