First and foremost you need a correct diagnosis of your hair loss. Second you need to see a doctor and understand treatment options available. Third Propecia does not usually work for frontal hair line loss and it does not usually reverse corner hair loss either. If you are demonstrating the appearance of a maturing hair […]

Propecia is a great drug (the only FDA approved oral drug) that really works for male pattern balding. But it doesn’t always completely stop the balding process. Your genetic predisposition will eventually win out. Some men do have great long term effects. The sexual side effect of libido or erection associated with Propecia is about […]
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 […]
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 […]
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% […]
Finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine) works in different ways. Rogaine will not necessarily stop catch up hair loss that sometimes occurs after stopping Propecia. There is no cure for genetic hair loss in men (Male Pattern Balding). These medications (and even surgery) help address the balding. Medications can postpone the hair loss to varying degrees […]
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, […]
I really do not have a clear answer to your situation. In general, Propecia or Avodart will not be as effective on your front and temple areas. They each work best on the top/crown areas of your scalp. I do not know if you will have more or less shedding as everyone has different results, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is a comment from our regular reader/ occasional contributor -BiotechMD- (who is actually a medical doctor involved in many clinical trials and research) I thought I’d post a third party opinion since so many readers and patients are concerned about Propecia and sexual side effects and are quick to blame a side effect over […]
