5 / 392 resultscommunity I talked to urologist about Finasteride and just wanted to share what he said
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 No, Finasteride as a treatment for MPB was not an "accident"
Finasteride was intentionally developed to treat BPH and later approved for male pattern baldness (MPB) due to its 5AR inhibition effects. The delay in MPB approval was due to concerns about off-label use for female hirsutism and the prioritization of treating a more debilitating condition.
community I lost the fight against MPB at age 22 despite being on treatments.
The user "ajsr8" shared their story of hair loss despite being on treatments. They started using finasteride in 2019 and later tried topical minoxidil, but it didn't seem to work. They also experienced side effects from other treatments. They are considering cutting off their hair and stopping the medications if there is no improvement in three months. Other users suggested trying different treatments and getting a blood test to check for underlying conditions.
community Is the DHT itch fact or fiction?
DHT itch's existence is debated, with some claiming it's real and others saying it's psychological. Finasteride, Ketoconazole shampoo, and addressing scalp conditions like dandruff or eczema may help reduce itchiness.
community If I was arrested, could I take minoxidil and finasteride in prison?
Access to minoxidil and finasteride in prison is unlikely unless prescribed for medical conditions like hypertension or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Cosmetic treatments are generally not provided in prison.
