  1. I've never even heard of topical Finasteride. Will ask my doctor about this. Would love to go off of oral Propecia and not worry about losing more hair
  2. Been taking Propecia since 1997. In 2007 I started experiencing sides such as ED, low libido, loss of morning erections, etc. In 2015 my libido is basically gone. My testosterone levels went to 200. My estradiol went to 70 (way over the limit for a man). Within the last few weeks I started seeing a MD who has given me Clomid to increase T levels and Aromatase Inhibitors to decrease estrogen. Almost immediately I had morning wood after years of not feeling it. It's not daily and strong like I used to be. Propecia could be the root cause of male sexual dysfunction that I am experiencing. I am debating weening off it by taking half a tablet for a week, then a quarter of a tablet and so on until I can get off it. I'm terrified of losing my hair. I've noticed a lot more hair falling out after taking the Clomid. My hair stylist noticed as well. He said hair loss due to increase testosterone is permanent. This stresses me out as I'm not sure what to expect once I totally go off Propecia. Can anyone comment on their experiences when stopping Propecia please?
  3. Unfortunately I'm in the same boat. Been taking Propecia since 1997. In 2007 I started experiencing sides such as ED, low libido, loss of morning erections, etc. In 2015 my libido is basically gone. My testosterone levels went to 200. My estradiol went to 70 (way over the limit for a man). Within the last few weeks I started seeing a MD who has given me Clomid to increase T levels and Aromatase Inhibitors to decrease estrogen. Almost immediately I had morning wood after years of not feeling it. It's not daily and strong like I used to be. After doing some research I now see how Propecia could be the root cause of male sexual dysfunction that I am experiencing. I am weening off it by taking half a tablet for a week, then a quarter of a tablet and so on until I can get off it. I've noticed a lot more hair falling out after taking the Clomid.

  4. JustOne, which services are you planning on getting done with Dr. Nigam? BHT, hair multiplication or donor doubling?
  5. I have been looking into this. I have been researching Dr. Bhatti in India for the same. I would love to go to Dr. Umar but finances are a concern right now. Looking forward to seeing the results.
  6. Very nice doc. Would you recommend saving scalp donor hair and using some body hair away from the hairline to achieve this same type of result?
  7. Check your blood sugar asap. ED can be caused by diabetes. Also if you have sleep apnea this could lead to ED as well
  8. Hi doc...any updates on leg hair? I'm interested in placing BHT into my scar but want to preserve as much scalp hair for my crn if needed in the future.
  9. This video is great! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to the chest to scalp video. Any idea if we will see leg hair video as well? I know Dr. Umar did a hair line with leg hair. Looked good.
  10. I noticed the pics are removed as well. I am seriously considering beard hair into my 7mm scar so would love to see pics as well.
