We called around the Los Angeles area. Only Costco appears to have lowered their prices to an affordable rate. Costco and Target still offer a year supply of 5mg pills for $27 (90 pills, or $9 for #30) This works out to 360 day supply or less than $3 a month. Finasteride 5mg is still […]

The longer the better, but 4-6 weeks should cover you. Even a shorter period will work, but taking it is critical particularly if this is your first hair transplant and you are under 30 years old. Shock loss is most common in young men and after the first hair transplant. Stay on the medications until […]
Propecia is a medication for the treatment of genetic male pattern balding also known as androgenic alopecia. It works best for treating the thinning / balding on the top and crown areas of your scalp. It does not work as well for the front hair line. Propecia is not a cure and its response is […]
The point is you have the extra 5 to 10 years or possibly more of good hair. Imagine being 20 years old in your prime and you notice thinning. Imagine taking a drug that can postpone this until you’re 30 or 40. To some this may be worth while.
I cannot help you here. You need to see a doctor in person for your problem. I will try to be more clear with facts: 1) You are having anxiety, mood changes, and negative thoughts. 2) Internet is not the right source for self diagnosing psychological or medical issues. There are abundance of information on […]
Propecia is for the treatment of androgenic alopecia in men. I’m not sure if Merck claims it “stops” hair loss, but I think Merck is claiming it works in 90% or 9 out of 10 men. The degree of how well it works on the individual is variable. Over the long term, even if you […]
Hair loss can increase from stress amongst many other things, such as the normal progression of hair loss that occurs in some men (even those on Propecia). As one of my patients, please come see me and let me see if your miniaturization has increased. We can get a baseline on the HAIRCHECK instrument by […]
It is very difficult for me to judge your nipple problem over the internet. My answer therefore will be in the general view, not specifically targeted to give you a medical opinion. If I were to examine you directly, my opinion would be based upon having all of the facts, which is simply not the […]
I don’t know what I can say that hasn’t already been said on this site — I’m not sure I quite follow the logic about waiting until after marriage to start Propecia (finasteride 1mg). The side effects from Propecia occur in less than 2% of men and most claims you read about on the Internet […]
The Internet is a great source of information but it can also be misleading and cause great anxiety when it comes to medical information. Men taking Propecia/ finasteride for androgenic alopecia can still father a baby – no issues. To my knowledge, there have been no reports of abnormal babies with men fathering a child […]
Diffuse Pattern Alopecia (DPA) is basically the same as Male Pattern Balding otherwise known as Androgenic Alopecia. DPA, as the term implies, shows up as diffuse hair loss that occur in a “pattern” such as you see in male pattern balding but the permanent zone on the back and side of your head not impacted. […]
Painful ejaculation may be a sign of serious medical issue such as sexually transmitted disease (especially the burning sensation), prostatitis, prostate cancer, etc. I doubt it is related to a drug side effect especially after 6 years but such reports of pain with ejaculation are appearing over forums on the internet. As their appears to […]
Please speak with your doctor for these issues. In general if you stop Propecia you can ‘have catch up hair loss’ where the hairs you kept or regrew over the time you took Propecia, may fall out on stopping the medication. Long term use of Propecia from studies show no adverse effects. There was a […]
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is hype without good science behind its value on hair growth. Doctors make money offering it. Photos or videos on line do not prove anything. There’s documents, photos, and videos of aliens here on Earth but that does not mean it’s true. I need to see good science before I recommend […]
In my 23 years in the hair restoration field having seen many men who were on finasteride Propecia, I have come across a handful of men (less than 10) who complained of less body hair growth, and brain fog. One to two percent of the patients speak of sexual side effect, consistent with reports by […]
