(37 M) Fin for 5 o years, Dut for 9 months. I’d like to talk to Dut’s manager Progress Pictures 1/7/2025
A 37-year-old male has been using finasteride for 5 years and dutasteride for 9 months to address hair loss, noticing improvements but also some recent thinning. He experienced no significant side effects from either treatment, except a slight decrease in semen volume with dutasteride, and is considering trying oral minoxidil again despite previous side effects.
