Hey how are you... I have question for and I hope u will answer it... I started useing finastried for 3 months and it started to work and stoped hair loss... But now suddenly it is started to fall back again .... is it normal... Thank you
@@jeff-vj6uh I’m no doctor but from all the research I’ve done it’s fair for say that everyone experience is different. What is normal for me may not be the same for everyone.

NEGATIVE SIDE EFECTS: I took Finasteride for 3 months and I had to stop it as negative side effects appear for the lack of DHT. No interest in sex. All the hair in my body fell off including legs, arms and chest. It made me insulin resistant therefore growing up a big belly. My doctor said this medication was suppose to do all the oposite but nevertheless I stop it in its track. This medication takes 3 months to get out of your system after which the desire for sex return SLOWLY, the hair on my body came back except in the chest and stomach and the insulin resistant belly stayed even after years of strict diet and exercises, and I still have it. If you are prescribed Finasteride keep your eyes wide open and if you see any of these side effects appear go and tell your doctor. There are always exceptions to the rules and unfortunately I was one.
It’s been 2 months I’m using propecia 1mg .. Since one month I’m suffering from too much hair shedding .. daily more than 100 hairs I’m loosing .. I’m socially restricted.. I’m losing my confidence.. help me

Hi Dr , I’m 18 years old, falls 50-70 hairs per day now ! My dad is fully bald due to genetics it’s serious ! Is it okay to use 1mg finasteride + minoxidil spray without dr prescription! Please reply me and tell me a method to stop this !
slowly start with topical minox 5percent along with change in diet try eating more protein cut off all junk ,increase your physical activity and then after 3 months start taking finasteride 1 mg 3 times in a week it would help in most cases currently i am doing that
Hello, Dr. My hair loss pattern began in my 40's and has progressed rapidly, particularly in the crown area, with other parts (the side area and hairline) being slightly impacted. I'm now 46, I had a hair transplant operation two months ago, and I'm using finasteride 1mg and minaxdil 5% as prescribed by my doctor for at least a year. Now that I'm seeing some side effects, I'm wondering if I should continue using it or if the hair loss trend will stop after a year, or if my body will readjust and the negative effects will fade away with time. Also, would taking modest doses of 0.5/0.25 mg be beneficial in reversing some of the negative effects? your doctor's opinion appropriate?
I’m 29 and just about a year or so my hair is starting to get thin and losing some hair on the sides and back. Wish l could take this medication right now but l probably will have to wait until my dermatologist appointment on February 1st. Hopefully my hair doesn’t get worse until then. Praying that my hair gets better when taking it. Thanks for the video. :)
@@Nellis202 I had thought about that but l wanted to see a dermatologist first because you never know if it could be something else that is cause it. So l’m gonna wait for their approval before taking it. I go to my appointment next week.
@@seanhenderson2498 Good you are gettting onto it at your age. Leave it late and it's really too late for any real progress. Good luck. Check out the "the hair loss show" they have very good content on staggering low dosage of fin to reduce likelihood of any side effects, whist still getting the benefits.
So, if i have difficulty peeing due to an enlarged prostate, i have to wait approx four/six months for it to take effect, seems a long period of time to gain any relief ?
For 30 years I took Finasteride for enlarged prostate and it worked ok. 7 months ago I switched to full carnivore diet and my prostate improved 100% so my doc took me off the med plus took me off blood pressure med.
Been taking it for 6 weeks now alongside topical minoxidil. The side effect im experiencing is chest growth (man boobs), not so big but I can notice the difference. Feels a bit heavier and shaky. Apart from that, I can see improvements in my hair.
Sorry, to tell you this, but there's no way that's related to the Finasteride, lol. You are not taking it long enough yet for it to actually affect your body and "man boobs" don't grow that quickly either. Lastly, there's no way you can see improvements with your hair yet either. Give it two more months and maybe you see some improvements then.
@@mimamo drugs react different to different individual. Im actually saying what is happening to my body and hair. Humans are not the same set of machine assembled in one factory. We are all unique. Lastly, you don't need to be sorry about your opinion
@@xFlared Im just sharing my experience here. The desirable outcome is why I am on the pill in the first place and Im getting better results for my hair so will keep it going for the next few months and figure out from there.
What a great break down. I understand women shouldn't touch finasteride if they are pregnant, but what about if we are trying to conceive, should the man go cold-turkey on finasteride before looking to get pregnant?
That’s interesting you say that as I’ve only been taking for 4 months but I now get really dry itchy eyes at times. But nothing a few eye drops don’t sort out

Hi doctor Donovan I’m taking the 5 mg of finesteride for enlarged prostate and I’m just wondering will it also increase my head hair? I ask Because my hair is also thinning thx.
initially i was taking minoxidil earlier when i started seeing earlier stages of hair loss.I got most of my hair back then i stopped.Few months after my hair line is receding so bad,i bought more minoxidil to use but i feel it’s not working it’s been a month and no new growth. My corners are becoming lighter.What should i do?
2:38 sorry I disagree I have been on it since 1997 no side effects but 10 years I was out of town and ran out for about 9 days started to lose hair quickly got back on it , you can never stop taking this drug everyday
@samikhamash8277 no did not, To be honest of course my sex drive isn't as strong as before but I strongly believe it just aging but aging its not that bad , I hear many men complain about ED but they put all blame on Finasteride,, of course for example if a 22 year old gets on it and has nothing left after a year yes you can make that point
@@dfygoh3215 I took one 5mg tablet in the morning. I took it for 34 years for enlarged prostate. The only side affect is the blocking of testosterone which caused me belly fat. Recently through a family members success I discovered the carnivore diet and I’ve had so much improvement my doc took me off Finasteride and my blood pressure meds.
It's a very informational video that explain FINASTERIDE. As you said it may cause larger prostate. What if you stop taking it, will the prostate becomes smaller again? Or it's irreversible? Thank you Doctor O'Donovan.
From what I have read : First you need to take it to know if you're going to have side effects. After you take it for 2 to 3 weeks you will know. If you stop early it will take 1 to 2 months for your body to go back to normal. But always remember that finasteride mostly works if you have less of side effects then just take it, it's always better then being bald. Don't worry most of men don't suffering any or at most they suffer from mild side effects.
i have read that pumpkin seeds can help with enlarged prostate and no side effects can you advise me as i have eiosinophilic astma and polyps on fasnera jab and inhalers dont like idea of depression or swelling breathing a problem most days. thanks steve
Hi Doctor, I have been taking 1mg finasteride everyday for over 1.5 years And I had pretty decent results but lately I have been shedding alot of hairs and thining Would adding 0.5 dutasteride once a week be beneficial?

Yes this is normal! Your hair is shedding the bad hairs so that new thicker hairs can grow. Went through the same issue and freaked out, but keep pushing through and it grows back before you know it. You need to understand that you are your biggest critic. YOU will worry about it more than anyone. My hair is VERY clearly thin (you can see my scalp and hair is receding big time) but that has not had any negative affects when it comes to relationships, meeting girls, or anything at all. Just be confident and yourself. You will be just fine. I promise.
@@rayveon7022 I want you to think about it this way: if you are currently losing your hair, the longer you wait and push off treatment, the less hair you’ll be able to gain back. You need to start treatment now so that you can save as much as possible. I put it off for a long time and I regret it because if I would’ve started sooner, I would have a lot more hair… Don’t worry about the shedding process, your hair WILL grow back thicker and fuller. The shedding starts pretty quickly as in the first couple weeks you notice a lot of hair coming out and that lasts for probably month or two and then your hair grows back after that. I say a month or two because so much bad hair falls out that, by the end of month two, there’s no bad hair left… The most difficult part of treatment is the initial shock people get when they’re in the shower and they see tons of hairs on their hands when they wash their hair. I freaked out and almost stopped but you just need to keep grinding it and it all grows back thicker and fuller. When you start treatment, try to look at the situation as “ok the sooner the hairs fall out, the sooner my hair grows back.” In my previous comment I mentioned that you are your biggest critic, and it’s true. No one cares about your hair falling out. You’re getting treatment so it will come back thicker and fuller. I basically thought to myself that I needed to stop acting like a baby about it and realize that no one really cares. It never hindered me when meeting people, TRUST ME (if you know what I mean). All in all just get it through your head that you’re in a crappy situation and it is what it is. I’m right here with you and so is every other viewer. Shit happens, so make the best of it and start your treatment. Don’t worry about the shedding. The shedding stage just means it’s working.
Assalam o alaikum sir i have done hairtransplant in September 2023. one important question i am asking you...? I am using Finisteride 1 mg since 4 months.i am noticing that you know due to use of this medicine some little side affects are facing me that is low libido, and gradually increasing ED issue that is commonly and vary man to man. So can you tell me that 1.Can i take testosterone booster like "Tribulus terresris" medicine that increase your testosterone level?. 2. If testosterone levels increase then your DHT level also increased? 3. If testosterone levels increase then your hair loss increased? Plz guide me on this issue in comment are plz make a video on this topic.waiting for your prompt response.thanks
Thanks for the video doctor , if you can help i take 1.25 every day then got after 40 days tenderness and chest pain then reduced to 3 times a week and still get same side effects then reduce to twice a week still same side effects i dont know what to do dont want to stop fina im thinking of using 1,25mg weekly but if it can be effective or no i use proscare 5mg
"For hair loss, you can expect to see some improvement after 3 to 6 months. You will usually take finasteride for a long time. It could be several months or years." Reference: www.nhs.uk/medicines/finasteride/
I took one 5mg tablet in the morning. I took it for 34 years for enlarged prostate. The only side affect is the blocking of testosterone which caused belly fat. Recently through a family members success I discovered the carnivore diet and I’ve had so much improvement my doc took me off Finasteride and my blood pressure meds.
lowered my libido and made ejaculation painful however I kept on taking it because I was desperate not to lose my hair but few months in and my nipples started to get droopy and sensitive thats when I freaked out and stopped.
I have been taking 1 mg of finasteride a day for 1 year and it has not had much effect because my body produces a lot of testosterone due to my lifestyle. In your opinion, taking finasteride 2 tablets 1 mg per day together. Or one 1 mg every 12 hours? Which method is more correct?

Testosterone does not effect male pattern baldness. DHT does. Using Finasteride actually increases your testosterone, so having high T isn't relevant. You could take 2mg a day, but studies have shown that its only a tiny bit more effective than 1mg. You can take anywhere from 0.2mg-5mg per day, and there isn't too much of an effect in effectiveness, but higher doses put you at more risk of side effects. It's also important to note that Fin isn't supposed to grow your hair back. It main purpose is to prevent further baldness and keep your hair as it is. Only about 40% of men grow any hair back.
bro see in Pioneer hair clinic banglore Dr sreedhar Reddy what he exactly told and suggested me is Vitamin tablets 3 diff Finastride tablets 1 mg twice a week for 3.5 months and stop permanently and minxodil for 8 months and stop and finally 6 prp session which I have taken 1 prp now and 5 yet to go . Mu doubt is if i stop minxo and finastride i ll loose my all hair na then why he suggested like that ...he has done 6k + surgeries but i m not using minxo and finastride now I ll go ask him again any idea about this pls tell
@@Iknownothing.1 its ok ok bro i cannot say its worth it but after that my hair fall has stopped mostly but i would suggest topical finastride and minoxidil only take 2 sessions max or 3 dont go beyond i have taken only one session
@@arunreddy6243 i m sry for late reply hair growth i can notice it has thicken little bit like 20% but mostly my hair got stabled because of topical finastride + minoxidl
it's important to have blood work done before starting any dose of this drug in order to avoid gynecomastia, your normal estrogen levels for men should be between 10-40 pg/ml anything over the amount you are at high risk of gyno. However, even gyno can still occur if your levels are normal when you start the medication but the chances are a lot less all depends on your diet and the way your body adapts to the medication.
0.25mg every morning before eating. Give your liver a break on the weekends. Do not worry sbout those two days, DHT levels take a week to return to baseline.

Hello!! I have been using finstride since 3 months minoxidil 5 months at first when i started using minoxidil i got the results my hair stop falling and then i also started taking finstride and its been 3 months since im taking finstride and minoxidil but my hair now started to falling very badly 😢 i don't know what to do if someone know what to do then plzzzz help me.🙂
You know how hair works? You have to read the lifecycle of hair, from anagen katagen to telogen. When people have male pattern baldness, most hair are in a "limbo" state, because no new hair is coming from the root since the root is weak. By using medication, the root is then strengthened, give ways to new hair. But the new hair cannot emerge if the "limbo" hair is not falling out. Hence, people called this shedding period. In order to see if this is really the shedding period, you have to observe if there is a new hair coming. Dermatologist usually use the hair follicle count as an indicator
Any clue what happens if you stop taking finasteride after period of tkaing it? Will aloppecia return, which means yous hould dedicate to the drug to life?

First you get on fin and see how you can tolerate it. There are topical fin solutions which minimize the sides. You also can take lower doses or reduce frequency. If nothing works and you can't tolerate any dose of fin without losing libido, then you just downgrade to minoxidil as the last line of defense. Minoxidil doesn't address the core issue but is more of a stimulant effect to make hair look fuller and thicker. It doesn't improve nor maintain your hair, it just maximizes whatever roots you have at the moment. Other than that the last option is to shave off. Honestly even if you go the nuclear option and do a hair transplant, the new transplanted hair will also fall out due to DHT affecting the same areas of your new roots unless you take finasteride. All hair transplant patients in any clinic are prescribed finasteride to preserve the new roots in the DHT effected scalp areas. It is absolutely fundamental, otherwise the transplant is just a waste of money and in the long run when you start losing hair in the unnatural pattern, it will look much worse that your natural hair loss does now.
@@OldboyWOW DHT doesn't affect hairs or roots in the donor areas, it affects the U shape on top of men's head which is the DHT sensitive area in most men. Therefore if you take hair roots and plant them in the DHT sensitive area, and don't take finasteride, then it's like picking a flower from soil and putting it in a vase with water. Won't be long until it will whither and die. In addition finasteride with minoxidil is the most prescribed combo. Minoxidil stimulates while finasteride fights the root of the problem. Both can be obtained topically or orally. Topical finasteride is more expensive due to extra labor and cost for compounding the solution.

Thank you for that information. I was on anxiety tablets a while ago cos something happened in my life and I noticed I couldn't sleep or ejaculate. So I gave them up but my hair is slightly going so I decided to use these tablets. I was told its called Proscar. So hopefully I won't get the same reaction as the anxiety tablets
Yeah he’s right. It will also protect the hair you have right now. But sometimes, there are hairs very close to dying and they can be resurrected. You have to look reallt closely st your scalp to notice them. But yes. The doctor is correct.
Wait ive been taking finasteride for a while now but i dont take water. I take it dry. Does that make it less effective? Its almost a year and it seems like it got worse. Is it possible that the fact that i havent been taking water with the pill effect its efficacy?
Yes yes, over here in Canada many Indian and Muslim doctors are theorizing that because a few people are using Propecia and some had problems with impotence because they were abusing the prescription and due to other genetic factors, therefore all whites are impotent, therefore we need unlimited Indian and Muslim immigration to replace the impotent. Been using Propecia without abusing the prescription for 20 years and never any issues with impotence.
Dr, I’m 62 now, I’ve been taking finasteride for 9 yrs with topical minoxidil, absolutely no side effects and at my age absolutely no erection problems, I’m as horny as I was years ago, I was thinking of halving the tablet so that’s 1/2 a mill daily as studies have shown the hair count is around the same taking just .2 mill daily or even every three days, as 1 mill daily, obviously taking less would be easier on your system, what’s your views on this ? There’s also the Nocevo effect because of all the negative rubbish wrote about this
No. If you are trying for a baby or have a pregnant partner - this medicine passes into semen and can affect an unborn baby so please don’t use it without speaking to your doctor
Hi doctor, by tacking finasteride can it effect my bodybuilding? So as you said it convert testosterone into DHT and for bodybuilding the more testosterone is better for muscle building
Finasteride isn’t going to affect your strength or muscle mass. If you are worried about gyno that’s a different conversation. Plenty of bodybuilders pair test with fin and are just fine ( for now)
Proscar, Propecia and Finasteride - which is best to take for hair loss and is there any difference between them? I've been taking 5 mg of finasteride for prostate issues for almost six years without noticing any change in my hair.

Thank you so much for watching the video and taking time to leave a comment. Unfortunately (and I know this will be frustrating for you), I am unable to give individual medical advice out on this channel. This is because of medico-legal reasons, not knowing your full case, circumstances and it would be unethical of me to do so otherwise. I have included the general resources I used to make this video in the description box but I have to advise that you speak to your own health provider (e.g. doctor, nurse) so that they can properly assess your case.

My dad was completely bald at 25. So when I started noticing it at 19 I was like crap. Then propecia came out. It’s definitely preventative. Not sure if hair will regrow. But it’s slowed hair loss greatly. I would say it slows hair loss by 10x. I’m 50 now and hair loss like my dad had at 22. It’s going but slower and it this point who cares. No side effects.
@@Nickel_Coin I have not noticed anything but when I get yearly blood work done/urinalysis. My EGR score is 72 which is an indication of Kidney damage. It’s something the Dr wants to just watch at this. Hope that helps
@@DrODonovan why can’t you comment on it if you’re talking about finasteride? If you’re unable to do so maybe the best bet is to stop talking about finasteride and focus on something else..”Doctor”
I have been taking finasteride for almost 2 years now, but nothing seems to be working and hair loss gets more and more severe with every shampoo application (I shampoo extremely gently). I did lab test recently to examine my hormone levels. Is it normal to have an abnormally high testosterone level and low dht level simultaneously while being on finasteride?
Testosterone miniaturises follicles just like DHT but is less severe. So that could explain why the hairloss is still occurring other than that I can't comment on the other stuff
I’m 19 and can relate. Been on fin for over 9 months and I have been religious about it have only missed a handful of days but it feels like nothing is working I’m microneedling, oils, minoxidil and it just won’t stop. I don’t know what to do nothing is working.
@@Coogan. All you can do is keep trying. Just keep applying MINOXIDIL and take the finasteride pills. If you stop just accept that you will go bald then shave your head. Always remember bald is better then balding.

I wanna try finasteride, but i'm very afraid of the side effects, especially gynecomastia, is there any specific blood or semen analysis (hormones maybe) that i can take before starting finasteride to make sure that i'm safe from developing gynecomastia while taking finasteride ?
You can get blood tests to measure your hormone levels before and after starting. Gyno is rare, but it's can be caused by Fin if Fin boosts your testosterone too much and your body starts converting too much T into estrogen, or maybe if you have high E to begin with. Also you can easily spot gyno, if you have it, your nipples will start to feel sensitive, and there will be small lumps inside them. You can just check for those symptoms each day, and cease or reduce medication if necessary. Gyno will typically reverse when the problem is stopped early.
I have use 1st month 5 mg my age 24 years Will the hair stop with this, will new ones come, how much more time will it take to have intercourse and who will proceed in sex There is no loss ?

NEGATIVE SIDE EFECTS: I took Finasteride for 3 months and I had to stop it as negative side effects appear for the lack of DHT. No interest in sex. All the hair in my body fell off including legs, arms and chest. It made me insulin resistant therefore growing up a big belly. My doctor said this medication was suppose to do all the oposite but nevertheless I stop it in its track. This medication takes 3 months to get out of your system after which the desire for sex return SLOWLY, the hair on my body came back except in the chest and stomach and the insulin resistant belly stayed even after years of strict diet and exercises, and I still have it. If you are prescribed Finasteride keep your eyes wide open and if you see any of these side effects appear go and tell your doctor. There are always exceptions to the rules and unfortunately I was one.

Hello, Dr.
My hair loss pattern began in my 40's and has progressed rapidly, particularly in the crown area, with other parts (the side area and hairline) being slightly impacted. I'm now 46, I had a hair transplant operation two months ago, and I'm using finasteride 1mg and minaxdil 5% as prescribed by my doctor for at least a year. Now that I'm seeing some side effects, I'm wondering if I should continue using it or if the hair loss trend will stop after a year, or if my body will readjust and the negative effects will fade away with time.
Also, would taking modest doses of 0.5/0.25 mg be beneficial in reversing some of the negative effects?
your doctor's opinion appropriate?
What side affects please
I’m 29 and just about a year or so my hair is starting to get thin and losing some hair on the sides and back. Wish l could take this medication right now but l probably will have to wait until my dermatologist appointment on February 1st. Hopefully my hair doesn’t get worse until then. Praying that my hair gets better when taking it. Thanks for the video. :)
You can always find a pharmacy that’ll sell it to you without a prescription .
@@Nellis202 I had thought about that but l wanted to see a dermatologist first because you never know if it could be something else that is cause it. So l’m gonna wait for their approval before taking it. I go to my appointment next week.
@@seanhenderson2498 Good you are gettting onto it at your age. Leave it late and it's really too late for any real progress. Good luck. Check out the "the hair loss show" they have very good content on staggering low dosage of fin to reduce likelihood of any side effects, whist still getting the benefits.
Hey how are you? Did you take it? How was it???
So, if i have difficulty peeing due to an enlarged prostate, i have to wait approx four/six months for it to take effect, seems a long period of time to gain any relief ?
For 30 years I took Finasteride for enlarged prostate and it worked ok. 7 months ago I switched to full carnivore diet and my prostate improved 100% so my doc took me off the med plus took me off blood pressure med.

What will the medication do to your prostate if you have no postage issues to begin with? Is it alright to take it for the hair growth,
Been taking it for 6 weeks now alongside topical minoxidil. The side effect im experiencing is chest growth (man boobs), not so big but I can notice the difference. Feels a bit heavier and shaky. Apart from that, I can see improvements in my hair.
Sorry, to tell you this, but there's no way that's related to the Finasteride, lol. You are not taking it long enough yet for it to actually affect your body and "man boobs" don't grow that quickly either. Lastly, there's no way you can see improvements with your hair yet either. Give it two more months and maybe you see some improvements then.
@@mimamo fr, people mostly get paranoid after learning about possible side effects. You need at least 6 months to notice any sides.

What a great break down. I understand women shouldn't touch finasteride if they are pregnant, but what about if we are trying to conceive, should the man go cold-turkey on finasteride before looking to get pregnant?
Doctor, can I use the 5mg version for my hair loss as a topical solution?
Is there any relation between finasteride and dry eyes?
That’s interesting you say that as I’ve only been taking for 4 months but I now get really dry itchy eyes at times. But nothing a few eye drops don’t sort out
Is there any problem could happen if I stopped taking it?
Hello Doctor., mag I know what is the best finasteride brand you could suggest for hair loss?
I don't recommend individual brands as would be conflict of interest but please speak to your own doctor about this.
Hear that boys, make sure to say something if you have any discharge coming from your nipples.
Hello doctor , is accord a good brand for Finasteride? Because propecia not available in my country.

It's a very informational video that explain FINASTERIDE. As you said it may cause larger prostate. What if you stop taking it, will the prostate becomes smaller again? Or it's irreversible? Thank you Doctor O'Donovan.
From what I have read :
First you need to take it to know if you're going to have side effects. After you take it for 2 to 3 weeks you will know.
If you stop early it will take 1 to 2 months for your body to go back to normal.
But always remember that finasteride mostly works if you have less of side effects then just take it, it's always better then being bald. Don't worry most of men don't suffering any or at most they suffer from mild side effects.
I'm going to my dermatologist next week and starting the medication I have a bald spot at my crown and general thinning everywhere.

Yes this is normal! Your hair is shedding the bad hairs so that new thicker hairs can grow. Went through the same issue and freaked out, but keep pushing through and it grows back before you know it. You need to understand that you are your biggest critic. YOU will worry about it more than anyone. My hair is VERY clearly thin (you can see my scalp and hair is receding big time) but that has not had any negative affects when it comes to relationships, meeting girls, or anything at all. Just be confident and yourself. You will be just fine. I promise.
@@JamesHardy how long was your shedding process? How long before you saw regrowth?
@@rayveon7022 I want you to think about it this way: if you are currently losing your hair, the longer you wait and push off treatment, the less hair you’ll be able to gain back. You need to start treatment now so that you can save as much as possible. I put it off for a long time and I regret it because if I would’ve started sooner, I would have a lot more hair… Don’t worry about the shedding process, your hair WILL grow back thicker and fuller. The shedding starts pretty quickly as in the first couple weeks you notice a lot of hair coming out and that lasts for probably month or two and then your hair grows back after that. I say a month or two because so much bad hair falls out that, by the end of month two, there’s no bad hair left… The most difficult part of treatment is the initial shock people get when they’re in the shower and they see tons of hairs on their hands when they wash their hair. I freaked out and almost stopped but you just need to keep grinding it and it all grows back thicker and fuller. When you start treatment, try to look at the situation as “ok the sooner the hairs fall out, the sooner my hair grows back.” In my previous comment I mentioned that you are your biggest critic, and it’s true. No one cares about your hair falling out. You’re getting treatment so it will come back thicker and fuller. I basically thought to myself that I needed to stop acting like a baby about it and realize that no one really cares. It never hindered me when meeting people, TRUST ME (if you know what I mean).
All in all just get it through your head that you’re in a crappy situation and it is what it is. I’m right here with you and so is every other viewer. Shit happens, so make the best of it and start your treatment. Don’t worry about the shedding. The shedding stage just means it’s working.

Although rare, one possible side effect of finasteride is gynecomastia (man boobs).
😆
More common than 1%. Most dudes won’t fess up to it doing this. Sides are probably more like 50%. That’s why it’s so searched on google.
I have been taking 1 mg of finasteride a day for 1 year and it has not had much effect because my body produces a lot of testosterone due to my lifestyle. In your opinion, taking finasteride 2 tablets 1 mg per day together. Or one 1 mg every 12 hours? Which method is more correct?
How is the results?

Testosterone does not effect male pattern baldness. DHT does. Using Finasteride actually increases your testosterone, so having high T isn't relevant.
You could take 2mg a day, but studies have shown that its only a tiny bit more effective than 1mg. You can take anywhere from 0.2mg-5mg per day, and there isn't too much of an effect in effectiveness, but higher doses put you at more risk of side effects.
It's also important to note that Fin isn't supposed to grow your hair back. It main purpose is to prevent further baldness and keep your hair as it is. Only about 40% of men grow any hair back.
bro see in Pioneer hair clinic banglore Dr sreedhar Reddy what he exactly told and suggested me is

it's important to have blood work done before starting any dose of this drug in order to avoid gynecomastia, your normal estrogen levels for men should be between 10-40 pg/ml anything over the amount you are at high risk of gyno. However, even gyno can still occur if your levels are normal when you start the medication but the chances are a lot less all depends on your diet and the way your body adapts to the medication.

You know how hair works? You have to read the lifecycle of hair, from anagen katagen to telogen. When people have male pattern baldness, most hair are in a "limbo" state, because no new hair is coming from the root since the root is weak. By using medication, the root is then strengthened, give ways to new hair. But the new hair cannot emerge if the "limbo" hair is not falling out. Hence, people called this shedding period. In order to see if this is really the shedding period, you have to observe if there is a new hair coming. Dermatologist usually use the hair follicle count as an indicator

It's a life long commitment. The papers that came with mine said that if I stop taking it, all the new healthy hairs will fall out within 6-9 months.
These side effects are serious so how do you decide to compromise between hair loss or getting cancer, Loss of interest, erection issues, etc.?
How exacly u are getting cancer with finasteride?
First you get on fin and see how you can tolerate it. There are topical fin solutions which minimize the sides. You also can take lower doses or reduce frequency. If nothing works and you can't tolerate any dose of fin without losing libido, then you just downgrade to minoxidil as the last line of defense. Minoxidil doesn't address the core issue but is more of a stimulant effect to make hair look fuller and thicker. It doesn't improve nor maintain your hair, it just maximizes whatever roots you have at the moment. Other than that the last option is to shave off. Honestly even if you go the nuclear option and do a hair transplant, the new transplanted hair will also fall out due to DHT affecting the same areas of your new roots unless you take finasteride. All hair transplant patients in any clinic are prescribed finasteride to preserve the new roots in the DHT effected scalp areas. It is absolutely fundamental, otherwise the transplant is just a waste of money and in the long run when you start losing hair in the unnatural pattern, it will look much worse that your natural hair loss does now.
@@xFlared in hair surgery didnt they take the hairs that cannot be effected by dht? Maybe fin topical is better than minoxidil?
@@OldboyWOW DHT doesn't affect hairs or roots in the donor areas, it affects the U shape on top of men's head which is the DHT sensitive area in most men. Therefore if you take hair roots and plant them in the DHT sensitive area, and don't take finasteride, then it's like picking a flower from soil and putting it in a vase with water. Won't be long until it will whither and die. In addition finasteride with minoxidil is the most prescribed combo. Minoxidil stimulates while finasteride fights the root of the problem. Both can be obtained topically or orally. Topical finasteride is more expensive due to extra labor and cost for compounding the solution.

Yeah he’s right. It will also protect the hair you have right now.
But sometimes, there are hairs very close to dying and they can be resurrected. You have to look reallt closely st your scalp to notice them.
But yes. The doctor is correct.

Yes yes, over here in Canada many Indian and Muslim doctors are theorizing that because a few people are using Propecia and some had problems with impotence because they were abusing the prescription and due to other genetic factors, therefore all whites are impotent, therefore we need unlimited Indian and Muslim immigration to replace the impotent. Been using Propecia without abusing the prescription for 20 years and never any issues with impotence.

Dr, I’m 62 now, I’ve been taking finasteride for 9 yrs with topical minoxidil, absolutely no side effects and at my age absolutely no erection problems, I’m as horny as I was years ago, I was thinking of halving the tablet so that’s 1/2 a mill daily as studies have shown the hair count is around the same taking just .2 mill daily or even every three days, as 1 mill daily, obviously taking less would be easier on your system, what’s your views on this ?
There’s also the Nocevo effect because of all the negative rubbish wrote about this
Me and my wife are trying for a baby, is it still safe to take the tablet

@@anthonypape6862 have you noticed an long term side effects / liver or kidney problems?
@@Nickel_Coin I have not noticed anything but when I get yearly blood work done/urinalysis. My EGR score is 72 which is an indication of Kidney damage. It’s something the Dr wants to just watch at this. Hope that helps
Is taking .5mg 3 days a week effective as 1mg a day?
Nearly.
@@Cloud007. gotcha so it’s fine to use ?
I can't comment on this.
@@DrODonovan why can’t you comment on it if you’re talking about finasteride? If you’re unable to do so maybe the best bet is to stop talking about finasteride and focus on something else..”Doctor”
What would happen if you began to take it but then decided against it shortly after?
That’s fine
@@DrODonovan q how can i stop hair fall dr odovovan??;;;;;
Your hair will fall out at a more rapid rate if you stop taking completely
I have been taking finasteride for almost 2 years now, but nothing seems to be working and hair loss gets more and more severe with every shampoo application (I shampoo extremely gently). I did lab test recently to examine my hormone levels. Is it normal to have an abnormally high testosterone level and low dht level simultaneously while being on finasteride?
Testosterone miniaturises follicles just like DHT but is less severe. So that could explain why the hairloss is still occurring other than that I can't comment on the other stuff
I’m 19 and can relate. Been on fin for over 9 months and I have been religious about it have only missed a handful of days but it feels like nothing is working I’m microneedling, oils, minoxidil and it just won’t stop. I don’t know what to do nothing is working.
@@Coogan. I do know that Covid does a number on hair loss that is one possibility....
@@Coogan. - Try taking Oral Minoxidil 2.5mg
@@Coogan. All you can do is keep trying. Just keep applying MINOXIDIL and take the finasteride pills.
If you stop just accept that you will go bald then shave your head.
Always remember bald is better then balding.
Hi Dr... i am 23 years old. My hair fall started from 20 years. Day by day my whole head hair is very thin. Dandruff comes out like mud when I rub Nile on my head. My father has very low density hair . What can I do now? Please help me sir

Look up ketokonazole shampoo for dandruf but also helps block dht

I wanna try finasteride, but i'm very afraid of the side effects, especially gynecomastia, is there any specific blood or semen analysis (hormones maybe) that i can take before starting finasteride to make sure that i'm safe from developing gynecomastia while taking finasteride ?
I'm not aware of any personally
You can get blood tests to measure your hormone levels before and after starting. Gyno is rare, but it's can be caused by Fin if Fin boosts your testosterone too much and your body starts converting too much T into estrogen, or maybe if you have high E to begin with.
Also you can easily spot gyno, if you have it, your nipples will start to feel sensitive, and there will be small lumps inside them. You can just check for those symptoms each day, and cease or reduce medication if necessary. Gyno will typically reverse when the problem is stopped early.
You will have side effects. Try for a week and you will see. Guys who say they have no sides are either lying or had low sex drives to begin with.
I have use 1st month 5 mg my age 24 years Will the hair stop with this, will new ones come, how much more time will it take to have intercourse and who will proceed in sex There is no loss ?
Hi doc, i have been taking Finasteride from june but i am still losing hair and my hair is thinning why?
Please discuss with your doctor
Opinion on topical finasteride?
Hi Danny. I haven't have much experience with it so wouldn't be able to pass accuarate commentary. Best to speak to a pharmacist.
