"How is all hangin?" the greeting we all been waiting for!
My balls are hanging just fine 👍
"sensitive topic"
To the right usually
This dude more dedicated to this drug than some dudes are to they own kids
lol
Thank god someone is actually debunking misinfo about the drug. Its so depressing when you dont actuslly know whats right about fin
Kevin is our father
Well Kevin saved my hair
@@test-id6czit’s pretty fucking crazy that a chronic condition that effects 2/3rds of all men is being hard carried by 1 random white guy with a RUclips account
I went through it during the first two months taking 1mg fin daily. It wasn't "ball pain" at all, it was just a little discomfort that went away within the treatment. I had a feeling of heightened sensitivity when moving or sitting. I also noticed that my semen became less thick in those first few months, which also reversed throughout the treatment. I am now on my tenth month using 1mg fin without any side effect. I think we should let our system make the necessary adjustments without forgetting that we live within homeostasis machines.
Argentinian dude here.
Thanks for your enormous job, Kev
I actually did experience ball pain in the first couple of weeks or so using finasteride, it was a little concerning but I just told myself that it's just a short term price to pay while I adjust to the drug. Almost 4 years later and I've had no issues with ball pain since
Same here! It felt more like a tingling sensation lol. Along with slight increase in libido
@risingdragonfist3 it was a bit of a tingling feeling. Nothing worth considering stopping the drug even for a second. Losing my hair was the most painful thing I've ever dealt with
@@veilmontTVdid it save your hair?
@magnusfreeborn I'm 35 and over the last 7 months I've gained a lot of hair to where i have more hair than i did at 30. Really close to baseline now. I think I'm an above average responder to minoxidil. I saw results from that in a couple weeks
"Balls deep" on a whole new level lol
🤣
Kevin, I am so grateful I found your channel, you have been a HUGE inspiration to me in helping alleviate anxiety involved with losing hair and learning about treatments. Without you I never would have gotten on Finasteride, only a week in but Im in the game for life. Thank you for doing what you do for us!
Happy to have you here, choom.
Finasteride is for winners!
Ball pain was the side effect that I feared the most before starting fin
Because of anecdotes online
I am taking 0,5 mg D and 2,5 mg F, already for two weeks! Every single day, I don’t feel any side effects such as low libido or erectile dysfunction, the only side effect being I have harder and longer erection! You are absolutely right! DHT is a garbage hormone after puberty
Crazy timing on this one. Started fin 2 weeks ago (mostly thanks to your channel) at 1mg/day. Cut my intake to .25/day after a couple of days because of a ball ache scare. As of a few days ago, I’m mostly free of discomfort and decided to up my dose to .5mg/day. Your videos help so much with confidence and motivation to stick to the treatment. Keep it up!
Massage yo bawls
I’ve been on it for 2.5 years . The ball pain comes randomly and goes . Nothing to worry about it
“Ball pain” sounds like a chocolate coated onion
When will Kevin say Hair *Growth* witchers 😂
Hey Choom, just wanted to say that I just moved to Good Korea the other day, and was feeling homesick, and your videos made me feel better and reminded me to take my fin, so thanks for helping me through a turbulent time!
Hey Kevin, I am interested in your hairtransplant journey. How it looked before and After, if its documented. Maybe you could make a Video about that.
Best regards
That would be cool
I agree 💯
Probably not. But getting no action from being completely bald definitely can
According to studies women find bald men more attractive. And as someone who shaved his head and got way more attention I never don't shave it now. You guys need to come to terms that it's you personality that turn women off.

I had ball pain, when I started finasteride. Started with 0.25mg ed, gradually increased to 1.25mg within 8 months. Now I don’t have pain in that area anymore at all.
Yeah one of the side effects of finasteride is women falling for your shiny hairs. Be careful player it can quickly lead to balls pain.
Don’t forget better workouts due to increased testosterone
I love how everything is evidence-based on your channel, Kevin.
It hurts the balls of people stressing over side effects, playing with themselves 10 times a day to check if they still get an erection
I laughed up hard when I heard “Dr Trash”. Like it came so unexpectedly 😂
''How's it all hanging'' 😆
“Blue pilled, blue balled, slap head friend zoned loser!!”

Hey man. I think you should look into the rise of ADD/ADHD med use (adderall, primarily) and the increase in sexual side effects. There's a lot of cross-over in use of both finasteride and adderall with both becoming quite common in use these days.

I've been having terrible ball pain for a few weeks after changing my hair loss med dosing. After tests and exams it was down to training so hard in the gym everyday and not having enough support in that area. After changing my underwear to a new pair of Calvin Klein's underwear with better support its been amazing.
I was a 5 year finastride user. I can say I experience this every 6 months or so. It would last for a week or so and it would go away. Definitely don’t sop if you’re getting ball pain. It will
Go away
I had mild ball pain for 2 days when I started finasteride but then it went away. Never had the pain again and it’s been 3 years
Hmmmmmmmmm. Not sure that I would give Rogan that label. Anyways, when I started fin I did have mild pain for a brief period of time. It ended up dissipating. Currently I'm going through my 3 month supply as fast as I can, within reason. So I doubled it to 2 mg per day. Then it's on to dut, which my physician approved for me. Excited to possibly see some regrowth, or at the least my current hair loss conclusively stabilizing. Thanks for the video Kevin. I hope you have a nice DHT-free day
Dangerous drug
OMG Kevin you are looking amazing. ❤
Kevin sorry man this is bushtit, what happend to you like you aged 10 years in a 1 year
He does look great in a Stubble.
I filmed this after the gym and before a shower so I am kinda greasy and disheveled. The lighting sometimes makes me look like Dracula.
@@haircafekevindon't listen to him.. you look good
@@AdEl-yw7fu I don't mean any disrespect at all and I am glad he is self aware, nothing but respect for Kevin I've been on Finasteride since October and actually the only side effect I got slight testicle/prostate pain for a days that fortunately subsided quickly so this video was eye opening
I actually had testicular pain when i started Fin but it went away after 1 Month, no pain since then im still on Fin.
Damn, you really do your research and know your stuff. You should get more subs for providing us all the info
I only know that being bald gives you blue balls 😏😏
I never had the ball pain. Just ejaculations were weak first 3-6 months.
Lol take that jew med😂
Does anybody know where to get dutasteride online without a prescription?
Hey Kevin quick q. Been on fin an min for just a little bit over 2 months, keto shampoo once in a while. For sure density decreased and shedded but now It has completely stopped. Seeing baby hairs on temples, only issue is my scalp is itching a lot (happened also pre minox in the past but rarely) but as I said with no shed. Do you think I should still apply min even with the itch if I’m not experiencing shedding anymore? Maybe I’ll reevaluate at the 5/6 month mark. Thank you for your videos as ever. Would love a video on the scalp itch btw. Have a good day!
Hi @Haircafe what is the source of info about ball pain from finasteride effected both testicle.I have testicle pain just right testicle and %100 sure its because of finasteride cause i quit and everything back to normal.Thanks for video and infos.
SUP CHOOMS!
Im Almost 6 months into fighting the slaphead curse chooms
Haircafe, your show is awesome...much appreciated!
I have to say i love the thumbnail as it's clearly sporting from portugal not my favourite team as i'm a benfica guy but cool to see none the less haha
Give back our gold, thieves.🤣
When I was 28 I started finding and testicle hurt like crazy. I quit taken it. I restarted at 60. I think the dosage was too high
14:00 i said something similar at the my doctors appointment, got some giggles from her lol since then i took in my own hands to handle my hairloss, doing great so far! thank you haircafe
It is sure that everyone that took finasteride and still are on it have big ones
the pain should be temporary until your body gets use to the medication and goes away after awhile. Also, could the discomfort come from the prostate since this medication does affect it.
I take 1mg finastiride 6 days a week. I had pain for many months and over thought the side effects in my mind. I stuck the course and now nothing. I get on with my life and don't think about it. Just cruising maintaining results with no problems.
Been on 1mg of Finasteride every day for the last 8 years now. No side effects what so ever that I've noticed. Has frozen my hairloss.
Hi Kevin, you overlooked one aspect of testicular pain. I've been dealing with horrific pelvic pain for 2.5 years that made me bedridden, forced me to stop working and had to learn how to walk again. I believe it was because Minoxidil is known to impact the sympathetic nervous system and at the time I was overdosing it with adding it to my hair, beard and also microneedling.
In my opinion, Minoxidil seems to be far more dangerous than Finasteride / Dutasteride especially orally
Had it on oral fin for a month before I decided to discontinue treatment. Symptoms disappeared thereafter. Now I'm maintaining my hair with topical finasterine, minoxidil and flutamide, but it sure would be more convenient to just take a pill...
To anyone curious, the pain was mild but persistent, like the feeling you get after getting hit in the balls. The pain was more intense on the left side and I felt it on my abdomen and lower back too
Hey Kevin, could you possibly make a video (or just give your thoughts here) on Vitamin K2 as a mechanism to fight/reverse balding? The theory is that supplementing high doses of vitamin K2 can stop/reverse calcification in the scalp caused by baldness. Have you heard anything about this? Sounds like it could be useful in conjunction with finasteride to help maximize hair growth, especially in areas that have little to no hair left on the scalp. Thanks, Mann.
I'm not sure I'm ready to jump down every Reddit rabbit hole. Calcification isn't causing hair loss. It occurs at the end of the process along with fibrosis, but it's at the final stages. So even if vitamin K2 affected calcification it wouldn't stop hair loss. So I don't know if it's worth a video, but I'll consider it.
I've had mild testicular and penis (shaft) pain as well as shrinkage at about the 3-4 week mark on 1mg, .5mg, .25mg, and .25 mg EOD. However, I used a 1mg equivalent dose of topical liposomal fin for over a year and never had these issues. My dht serum still went down 50% on the topical. Does anyone have an educated guess why any dose of oral gives me sides but not a standard dose of topical even though it is dropping the levels of dht in my blood based on lab results?
The pain and shrinkage always goes away within one week
Hangin low swaying too and fro
I experienced testicular pain when starting finasteride at 25. I started at 1mg and when it occurred, I got off it immediately. However I was losing ground quickly and decided it was worth waiting it out to see if it subsided. I started at a lower dose.. .25mg then increased it by that much every 2 weeks. By 2 months it was non-existant and now I've been on it for 6+ years. I have taken breaks to try dutasteride but the incidence has never reoccurred.
Stop arguing with people. Let them go bald. The more people go bald the highest the demand for person with full hair will be in society.
I've been taking dutasteride for the last 2 years.
I'm in my late 30s and my hair is like a 14 years old kid. All of my friends have gone completely bald, and now they're very jealous of me. Dutasteride not only helped my hair, it also helped my skin. I look 15 years younger. I look like I'm in my early 20s. When people ask about the secret behind my hair and skin, I just say it's superior genetics.
You have superior genetics bro. You choose to take destiny into your own hands.
@@volos_olympus baldness is a lifetime curse. And for the first time in history, we have a very effective method of fighting with this curse. So instead of accepting my fate, I've decided to write my fate with my own hand.
Dude wtf why do you not want good for people?
Yeah my ball pain lasted about a 1.5 weeks. It wasn't too bad at all. I kept on the dosage and it went away and never returned.
Kevin going for the witcher 3 look
I’m a female, I have no balls, but here I am 🤣
but but Kevin, this is pure speculation on your part there is no scientific evidence that ball pain is true bro?!?! Should I be worried about my neurosteroids too bro?!?!
Hi Kevin,
I was on fin and ended up getting weird sides 8 months in, where my prostate would enflame. Now whenever I even ingest an amount as small as even 0.25mg I have prostatis. Any ideas on why or how to fix this??
It shouldn't cause prostatitis. You should get a doctor to check out what is going on.
Same. This happened to me too
What symptoms you got? Was this like this acute inflammation where have high fever and all or chronic one with the discomfort in your pubic symphysis area?
@@kuwerty2kuwerty23 yes, there was a burning sensation in this area. There was also a burning sensation in the scrotum area, but not in the balls. It was easier when walking than when I was sitting. The symptoms went away 1-2 weeks after I quit oral fin. Now I'm on topical fin 0.025. (Sorry for possible errors in the text, I'm Russian and use Google translator.)

I've definitely noticed the 'watery' semen thing before.
Hey Kevin, what's your take on liposomal finasteride and the claims by companies such as Xyon that it is not going in systemically?
Hair loss mythbusting video: does blow-drying your hair causes hair loss? 🦲
I'm new in hair regrow journey. I wanna ask you sir about topical fin. Is it effective ?, more/less than oral fin ? and what about its side effects? and THANKS for your efforts.
Wanna know as well.
But I know that there are no much research on this subject, unfortunately
They both work but oral finasteride is the more efficacious and better researched version.
That last sentence hit different 👌
Can confirm my balls hurt the first few weeks when I started finasteride (not a lot though). Never heard of it so doubt it was nocebo. Went away though. Funny enough it did not happen when I switched to dutasteride 0,5 mg nor when I increased the dose to 2,5 mg.
It did happen to me as well. Finasteride did hurt my balls (a little little bit) during the first week. But then the " pain " disappeared and never came back.
Nowadays I'm on dutasteride 0.5mg everyday and no pain at all.
That was definitely weird during the first. But I was not worried since the pain was very very mild and not bothering me too much and I knew it was a temporary side effects anyway .
Did you see a difference in terms of regrowth between dutasteride 0.5mg and dutasteride 2.5mg ?
@@exactly1176 same for the first 3 days. Like if my wife’s boyfriend kicked me in the balls
Is it possible that the ball pain is actually just prostate pain? This would make sense since finasteride would shrink your prostate if you have mild BPH and it’s pretty hard to differentiate mild pain in that area
@god8348 that's a good question. Fair point
But where is dutasteride then in there?
Shouldnt it be on the list at least? lol
They are still hanging, uh yeah thanks tho Kevin 😂
hey kevin i hope you are fine , steve harvey said that even with taking finasteride or dutasteride hairloss is a battle impossible to win and eventually we will lose our hair what do you think about this
There's no such thing, friend, it's like cardiopathy, as long as you take the proper drug, it stays under control. Unless you have a really agressive form of alopecia, which is very rare. Though your heart may still act up on that analogy, your scalp won't let you down under fin, so there's an advantage...
I think he's coping with the fact that he looks like Mr. Potato Head.
Kinda sounds like cope…
But even if you do lose, it makes a HUGE difference whether it happens at 20 or at like 50+!
I have never felt testicular pain in my whole life but recently i experienced testicular pain and i think yeah it can be because of finasteride, cause my lifestyle other than my hairloss treatment didnt change at all, when i felt the pain i thought my penis wanted to grow more but nothing happened the day after.
Yeah, Ive been on it for the past 3 weeks and my nuts has been aching for sure. But im going to push through it. I miss my hair 🥲
Hello kevin, i have a question for you, i am a diffused thinner i think i have dupa, is it normal if i still shed like 100 hairs or more after 4 days of washing hair while on finasteride daily after 6 months use
Yes, it sounds like a treatment shed. Shedding will be much more aggressive for diffuse thinners because they have more telogen hairs across their scalp. Give it a few more months to stabilize, you should be fine.
Hey Kevin, I'm curious about your opinion, I'm 20 years old and have had gyno on my left nipple since I was 14, it's not too noticeable and rarely causes pain, would you see any noticeable risk to my gyno getting worse If I started finasteride?
I'd check with a physician.
In theory, it is possible but finasteride will not make your endocrine system the way it was when you were a teenager.
Personally speaking I had some pubertal gyno and finasteride didn't make it any worse.
i love the fine equilibrium of science and comedy this channel has
Hi, are we absolutly sure that our body doesnt developp any kind of tolerance from finasteride. Are we sure that the fact that for a lot of people finasteride is less efficace with time is only due to a sensitivity to the dht remaining and not to a tolerance develloped. Im asking that because i want to start it in prevention.
No evidence of the body developing a tolerance. There are several long-term studies of finasteride lasting 10 years. Check out this video, ruclips.net/video/LsF9MwIM_AM/видео.html
When are you going to talk about dutasteride? I used finasteride for years with no success
I m amazed by so many comments in recent videos
I had those ball pains. 100% from fin. Reduced from 1mg/day to 0.25 per day and ramped it back up to 1mg/day within a month or so. No sides ever since 👌
Unfortunaltly I am 1 year into fin now and doesnt have any progress yet 🥲
Lets see what the next year has to offer 😂

No ball pain here! 👍🏻🥜
do you know if proscar is available in the uk and if its still cost effective
Yes, you can definitely get Proscar in the United Kingdom. It should be cheaper to quarter 5 MG of Proscar than take 1 MG of propecia.
Holy balls Kyle choom, this is THE REASON I stopped using finasteride 8 months ago and didn’t even get 1 week into it.
I got my hormone labs done, what you think about them? Additionally, the ball pain is undoubtedly from the finasteride and was in both testicles.

They hurt my balls for a intermittenly for a few months about 1 month after starting. It was def from fin and it's a common symptom. Im still on it and I still have hair
Finasteride gave me balls ache, which quickly subsided with continued use. With the drug's cessation this side effect occured and went away again. For me it's the same with tongkat ali and thyroxine. I link it to temporary hormonal changes.
I have some weird experience with this. Been on fin for 2+ years. Last October I've started to feel some weird dull ache/discomfort in my balls, it really only was noticeable when I went to bed at night but it was mild. It seemed more pronounced during NNN. I haven't really been paying much attention to it since so I don't know when it subsided but what I do know is that I added 0.5mg of dut once per week last month and I've been feeling fine.
i've been taking it and ended having ball pain
Hey, i my hair started thinning about 10 to 11 months ago on the middle of my head and then my hairline also started to recede more and more every week a noticed more thinning or receding at my scalp and it didn't stop now. I lost probably 60 to 70 of percent od hair on my scalp. My father is in his mid 60s and he has 40 percent hair on his head and my brother is 40 and he also has about 60 percent hair that is not thinning. But he doesn't have a bald spot. I am trying nizoral and i am going to see a doctor as fast as possible so i can talk about which things i should test in my bloodwork to see if i am sensitive for side effects of finasteride and i hope that im one of the majority that isn't sensitive to them. I got told by a doctor that inflammation can increase the strength of male pattern baldness. I know this video says that its not true, but i am so shocked that my hair is falling out so fast, do cases exist were people with aga went bald in 1 - 2 years ? And if it would be true that inflammation speeds up hairloss, would it also speed up the dying off of the hairfolicles. Because i am looking for a treatment to regrow my bald spots without minoxidil because i did read that it decreases in efficiency after 5 to 10 years and that it isn't a help forever. What do you think about microneedling with topical finasteride, but i guess it is going more systemic this way right ? If you know other treatments or things that would regrow my hair on the bald spots except minoxidil,
Thanks for the long read but pls answer 🙏🏻🙏🏻. I would be very thankful for every answer. 🙌🏻
If there's one side effect I ever got from finasteride, that definitely was testicular pain. It didn't last long, couldn't be more than a couple weeks of random ball pain in random moments and it just went away after that.
Thanks bro been trying to get the wife and was wondering.
Idk man. I just don’t think finasteride is for me. I chickened out after a week. My scalp definitely felt better and it wasn’t itchy at all during that time I was on. Hair felt healthier and hairloss halted by 80%. Just couldn’t do it with the side effects. 2 days off I’m feeling 100x better. I’ll just age gracefully 😔
Are there epigenetic changes that affect the offspring?
No. I talk about this in this video.
ruclips.net/video/dYpvl0XRQGY/видео.html
Kevin is it worth doing a minoxidil response test before using minoxidil?
No, their validity is questionable (see my trichotest video). Just use trial and error and get on it. If you are a poor responder you can use tretinoin or you can use 10 or 15 percent minoxidil.
@@haircafekevin Sounds good I will save the money on it! Safe to say a shed = responder? I’m assuming after 3 months if I do not notice any benefit or shed I would likely need to add something to it, then give it another 3 months?
@Lamb02 Yeah, a shed is a good sign although sometimes it is minor enough to not notice. I would give it 6 months to judge efficacy.
On the 3rd or 4th day after starting finasteride my balls had a burning sensation that lasted a day or two maybe? I'm on my 3rd month now and everything is fine.
could be due to changes in the prostate or the suppression of the small amount of 5ar in the testes. Since people report the pain going away over time it's probably the former rather than the latter. This might be a topic worth revisiting.
Hey i'm on finasteride since two days, I have little red spots on my back, I don't know what to do. Trying dustasteride? change brand of finasteride? I think it's allergic reaction, what would you do? lower dosing? Cant ask my doctor because he is against finasteride
I had a dull ache before that came from time to time. Eventually it just went away it was never unbearable pain. After switching to dutasteride I have some ED sides and still haven’t quit but I also believe I have post exertional malaise from long covid and that’s what might be also contributing to the ED sides. Moral of the story don’t be so quick to assume it’s the meds your on
I've been on 0.5 Dutasteride for four months, my right bollock has swollen. Don't know of this is a possible side effect, but seeing my Dr on Thursday.
Have you been minoxidil on your face, I like the scrub bro
Kevin I’m so depressed. (Because my hairloss is getting worse) My doctor switched me to 0.5 mg of Dut but here’s an issue with my hair loss. I have no recession but Im balding in the crown vertex and the mid scalp and frontal scalp. But it’s so aggressive…like I was loosing hundreds of hairs still even with fin. How do I know if dut at 0.5 mg will work for me? This is just not fair I just turned 18 and I don’t want to loose my hair but I’m loosing hope it’s destroying me mentally and physically.😢
Dut 0.5 mg is VERY powerful. Don't freak out if you get a shed from it, because a shed is expected. You have to be patient and give it time. Ultimately you have the potential to go to 2.5 mg of dut per day if you want the ultimate stack, but you really should just give 0.5 mg a day a chance. Also, you should be on topical minoxidil if you aren't on it already. Don't be depressed. Stay positive. But be patient. It can take 6 months to a year to see real results.
Hold onto hope bro there is a very big chance you are shedding and dut is so strong it almost guaranteed to at least slow if not completely halt hair loss. Have you added min?
@@TheChurchofBreadandCheese yes I’ve been on topical min for 10 months and I was switched to oral recently
@@haircafekevin thank you so much Kevin.
Has anyone bothered to ask WHY balls ache may occur?
im on 1.25 mg FIN on MWF . i was trying to find a video you had where you compared the MWF regimen to 1mg daily but had no luck. do you know if one regimen is superior to the other?
I think it is dutasteride more than finasteride that does that. I took finasteride at the beginning, and I didn't get that feeling at all. Dutasteride however, gave me that feeling every now and then.
Hello everybody my name is Markiplier.
Hey Kevin, could you make a video discussing drug tolerance or drug insensitivity? There's this Indian doctor who mentioned something along the lines of needing to take a 2-3 week break after using Finasteride for 3 months and then repeating the cycle.
