5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Bloodwork reports just came in
A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.
community I've been taking Finasteride daily for 20 yrs now.
Long-term finasteride users report that the drug may lose effectiveness over time, with some considering switching to dutasteride or adding minoxidil to their regimen. Many users suggest hair transplants or adjusting treatments to manage hair loss progression.
community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects
Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
community Why use Finasteride instead of Dutasteride?
People are discussing why some choose finasteride over dutasteride for hair loss, noting that while dutasteride is more effective, it's also more expensive, less researched, and potentially has more side effects. Some users shared personal experiences with side effects from both drugs, and others mentioned that finasteride is FDA approved for hair loss, while dutasteride is not, except in Japan.
community My 3 year experience and progress pics with 6 different treatments
The user tried Finasteride, Dutasteride, Minoxidil, RU58841, dermarolling, and oral castor oil for hair loss. They found RU58841 and Minoxidil most effective with no side effects, while Finasteride and Dutasteride caused sexual side effects.
