i m planning to go a HT
i never wished to use propecia so i never used it

my question is do i need to take propecia after my HT

Do you need to? No. Should you? Most likely, yes.

Fin/propecia is often useful to take prior to your HT, as well.

Did you discuss this with your doctor at all?

There are side-effects with propecia, but they are both rare and mild. Most importantly, they are rare and reversible -- you can always stop *if* you are the rare person to experience some side-effects.

Propecia won't "aggravate" your MPB -- remember, it is MPB that you are fighting, and propecia does the best job at fighting this. What most likely happened to you, and this happens to some, is that you experience a heightened "shed". Basically, this is a *good* thing, and is a sign that the propecia *is* working; your hair will grow back, and it will grow back stronger.

Propecia is a commitment, for sure; but, it is a simple and very effective commitment all things considered.

Personally, I experienced some side-effects during my first few weeks (sexual), but they gradually subsided. I also experienced a shed when I first started, but the shed stopped and my hair grew back stronger -- much stronger.

My personal experience with propecia is very good; but most important is that my experience is *not* unique. The unique experiences are the bad experiences.

and do i have to take propecia thruoghout my life or what ...... ?

thanx for all the support awry

I am going bald Save Me,

In my opinion, get your Propecia by prescription from a doctor. There are a few credible places to purchase generic finasteride online, but you have to be really careful.

As I responded in another post, you will need to stay on Propecia (and Rogaine for that matter) as long as you want to receive benefit from it.

MPB (male pattern baldness) is a progressive condition and hair loss will most likely continue without medical treatment.

Best wishes,

Bill

but sir what about the family planning stuff

propecia adversely affects semen formation as well as libido problems is'nt it

does it revert baldness ??
my hairline is healthy but it may soon get receded but my hairs have gone extremely thin +a dull mpb patch over the scalp

can propecia revert this issue

does the (TRANSPLANTED HAIR )gets lost when propecia is stopped as do the native hair ?
