A user shared progress pictures showing hair improvement after 11 months of using finasteride. The user experienced minimal shedding and plans to continue the treatment long-term.
The user tried minoxidil 5% for 3 years with little improvement, then switched to a 15% minoxidil with 0.1% finasteride solution once daily and started using pyrilutamide, resulting in significant hair regrowth over time. They are considering a hair transplant but are continuing with topical treatments to maximize hair growth first.

The user has been on finasteride for over a year and switched from topical to oral minoxidil five months ago, but is unsure if the current shedding and small hairs are signs of improvement or worsening. They are seeking advice on whether to wait longer or switch treatments.
