I can’s say what will happen in your case. Chances are that there will be some advantages to go back on it, but the full benefit you had will be a touch challenge. This is the reason that having a good doctor and keeping an eye on your repose is so important. You must have […]

In general you should not have increased hair loss after starting Propecia. I have heard of Rogain causing initial hair loss / shedding but not Propecia. I also realize there may be information on the Internet that may say otherwise, but my opinions are based on what I have seen in my practice over the […]
We’ve said this many times here on BaldingBlog. There is no cure for genetic male pattern balding -MPB (androgenic alopecia – AGA). Drugs such as Propecia and Rogain helps slow the hair loss down. For some it even reverses hair loss and slows down the hair loss dramatically. Overall everyone slowly loses their hair as […]
The best advice I can give you here is to go see your doctor. Burning sensation on the scalp is generally not normal and likely not Propecia related. Increase in libido is something I do hear on occasion with Propecia but the decrease in libido is what is most discussed on the Internet. Finally Dutateride […]
Genetic male pattern balding affects each individual differently. It can happen fast or slow. It can affect the front part of the scalp or the top (as it occurs in a certain “pattern”). Drugs such as Propecia help but it is not a cure or a complete solution. Each individual responds to medication (all medication) […]
This is not an uncommon problem. It seems that whatever change in this man’s hormones that took place after starting Propecia, it self corrected after a month or so. Staying the course is critically important to get the benefits of the drug but this decision should be make between the doctor and patient on a […]
People will always be worrisome about any medications, and that’s normal. The Internet has many put-down comments on finasteride (Propecia) that many of our patients coming in for a first visit seem to be anti-Propecia programmed when we first meet. It’s good to have some success stories posted to try to balance much of the […]
It takes at least 2 years to maximize the value of finasteride. That may explain part of your experience with hair regrowth. Also, there are some reports that ketoconazole (Nizoral) may help with treating hair loss, but the studies are limited and I personally have not seen patient results to be convinced. If you’re seeing […]
Male pattern balding (MPB) also known as androgenic alopecia (AGA) is genetic. There is no cure. But there are two drugs: Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (topical minoxidil) that can SLOW the process down. In some men it can sometimes REVERSE and grow NEW HAIR! But eventually over time, you will continue to lose hair in […]
If you had unwanted side effects with a medication, you did the right thing by discussing your options (weighing out risks and benefits) and stopping the medication. The catch up hair loss can happen over the next 6 months after stopping Propecia and that is something that cannot be completely stopped. Starting another type of […]
Without an examination or documentation of how your hair loss has progressed in the last 6 months, I really would not know what to advise. I can’t tell you whether you should or shouldn’t take a medication I didn’t prescribe to you, but it could be worth sticking with it for a little while longer […]
Propecia usually do not work for the front areas and it takes several months to see results. But once in a while some do see great improvement. Dr. Bernstein, my former NHI colleague, has many before after photos of men who only took Propecia and got phenomenal results. see: https://www.bernsteinmedical.com/medical-treatment/medications/propecia-finasteride/ BEFORE AFTER AFTER
The exact number or statistics on erectile dysfunction (ED) may be of debate since most of these studies are based on self assessment and honestly reporting that they actually have ED. For example, if you wear women’s lingerie, have a small penis, or cheated on your spouse, etc would you honestly answer such personal or […]
We have discussed that Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a known side effect of Propecia (finasteride) and Avodart (dutasteride) in the range of 2% of men taking Propecia (finasteride). The side effect occurs in 1-2% of men. We have also stressed that ED is common in men not taking these drugs. In general ED affects 20% […]
In the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology July 2006, Volume 55, Dr. Vera Price summarized the action of finasteride as follows: “Long-term finasteride treatment led to sustained improvement in hair weight compared with placebo. Hair weight increased to a larger extent than hair count, implying that factors other than the number of hairs, […]
