Finasteride may decrease free testosterone by increasing SHBG, potentially causing side effects like reduced libido and hormonal changes. Some find it effective for hair loss, while others experience negative effects.

Hair loss is a common issue, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil used but not as permanent cures. Frustration exists over societal perceptions and the lack of a definitive solution.

After years of using dutasteride and oral minoxidil without success, the individual decided to shave their head and stop treatment. They considered scalp micropigmentation and hair systems but ultimately accepted their hair loss.

The person experienced worsening hair loss despite using minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. They are considering increasing dutasteride dosage, trying microneedling, RU58841, and oral minoxidil, and are advised to consult a trichologist.

The user plans to switch from dutasteride back to finasteride due to worsening hair loss, possibly due to increased scalp testosterone. Others report mixed results with both treatments, showing individual variability.
