The effects of Finasteride, a drug used to treat hair loss, prostate problems and other conditions. The post by iaskedadoctor describes the conversations they had with a Urologist about the effects of the drug on DHT levels throughout the body, how lower doses are beneficial in reducing side effects, how erectile dysfunction can be psychological as well as physiological, how morning erections are not necessarily important, and how persistent side effects appear to be rare. People also shared their experiences with taking Finasteride for hair loss, including potential side effects such as reduced ejaculate force and development of man boobs.
community I just don’t understand this
community Dutasteride SAVES your hair follicles: MAJOR BS on people who say it destroyed their hair permanently.

The conclusion is that dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels and may be more effective than finasteride for long-term hair retention, with some users reporting personal experiences and side effects.
community Has been on minoxidil for 5 years. Microneedling for 4 weeks no results.
The user has used minoxidil for five years and added microneedling for four weeks without seeing results. They are considering a hair transplant but are advised that hair loss will persist without a DHT blocker.
community If Minoxidil Beards are permanent, why should Finasteride be unable to keep Minoxidil Gains on the scalp?
Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
