Effects of Aggregates on Concrete Drying Shrinkage Strain: Part 1. Experimental Plan and Results (Shrinkage and Creep, Materials and Construction)

A 27-year-old male physician improved hair density using minoxidil 5% foam and finasteride 1mg every other day, with initial sexual side effects that subsided. He recommends trying finasteride for a year but warns against dutasteride due to potential liver effects.

A 27-year-old male experiencing hair loss at Norwood 3 level has tried minoxidil and finasteride but stopped finasteride due to side effects. He is exploring alternatives like Dermapen, Regenepure DR Shampoo, saw palmetto, and considering aromatase inhibitors for managing side effects, while also seeking advice on DHT blockers.

The user maintained their hair at Norwood 2 using finasteride, starting with 0.5mg and increasing to 1mg daily, and recently switched to dutasteride for potential regrowth. They experienced no significant side effects and have not yet used minoxidil.

A 27-year-old male with Norwood grade 5 hair loss is using dutasteride and a hair serum with Redensyl, Anagain, Procapil, and Capilia Longa, but is hesitant to use oral minoxidil due to past allergic reactions to topical minoxidil. He plans to try dutasteride alone for 3 months before considering adding oral minoxidil.

A 50-year-old man used a topical spray with 6% minoxidil and 0.3% finasteride for hair regrowth, experiencing mild side effects but satisfactory results after 12 months. He is considering a hair transplant and shared his progress to show the potential of this treatment.

Finasteride can effectively slow or halt hair loss, even for those genetically predisposed to significant balding, like Norwood 6 or 7. Many users report long-term maintenance or improvement, often combining it with other treatments like Dutasteride or Minoxidil for better results.
