anish mate hair transplantation is THE ONLY PERMANENT solution for hair loss.meds are there for maintaining and stabalizing the hair loss but as david said do thorough research as there are pros and cons for surgical hair restoration and medicines as well.

feerce are u still persisting with finasteride despite the sides? i know members here might say take it or leave it...if i do decide to leave it, i will progress to higher norwood and as we all know that it is very very hard to achieve cosmetically acceptable hair density through hair tranplants if u are on higher end of norwood scale and can't maintain existing hair. sigildark mate firstly nizoral is no longer available in pakistan and it is very difficult to get it shipped here.secondly when i was living in ireland before i did try nizoral with minox to combat dandruff.....nizoral is very effective for dandruff through normal causes....but in my case it did not have too much of an impact on dandruff caused by minox. seems like i am one of the unfortunate guys who are going to progress on hair loss coz i am unable to use meds as they seem to do more harm than good to me.

first of all sorry for this very long post.i wud appreciate fellow members to take the pain to go through it.the long post is result of giving as much details as possible to help people who have gone through surgical replacement or considering it. shadow, as mahhong has pointed out that Dr.Humayun mohmand is a frequent poster on this forum and he is recommended on the hair transplant network, therefore he is not someone we haven't heard of on this forum. yes i am a new poster but i have been regular visitor of this forum for almost a year while i was doing my research regarding choosing the best possible surgeon.this forum helped me on choosing recommended and reputable surgeon in my area of residence.i was residing in ireland before and could not find a surgeon there with any real feedbacks or results on any of the forums.so there is no coincidence or any fake posts. feerce, surgery experince at clinic was very satisfactory.the staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable.i had no complications during or after surgery as i followed the instructions religiously.i would have loved to have spoken to DR Humayun more before the surgery.as i only met him on the day of the surgery so i cudnot get a proper chance to discuss a slightly lower hairline with more grafts.but i agreed to his judgement without much discussion.the initial consultation was done by his assistant but to be honest with you, he was very knowledgeable. as far as surgical work,desiging of hair line and temporal peaks is concerned, u can view it in my pictures immediately after surgery.as many veteran members have commented, the work looks very clean and refined.mate as far as recommending Dr Humayun, i can properly recommend only after the final results come up coz thats all what it matters.this was my experience of the procedure with dr humayun.the choice is urs. now coming back to my updates.its 2 months and 4 days since my surgery.surgery was smooth.healing has been smooth so far.there has been no discomforts except for very mild itching in the donor n recipient area.i haven't posted any new pictures coz there has been no substantial change.i did experience a really fair amount of shock loss and thinning of existing hair in the recepient area.i hope it was temporary and the lost hairs wud come back. now coming to the main question i want to kindly ask my senior posters here who have gone through all of this before.i decided to use finasteride following surgery to keep the native hair.its been 1 month i have been using finasteride.i have some side effect issues. 1.started getting pain in my right testicle.its not severe but its there since i started taking the pill. 2. smaller amount of ejaculatory fluid.the semen is really watery.its 1st time i experienced like this plus the orgasms are not as intense as before. 3. the most worrying is maintaining an erection.i have no difficulty in achieveing it but to achieve i have to concentrate harder,but the moment i stop concentrating it fades within a blink of an eye.whereas before i could maintain it throughout. plus i used to have morning erections nearly every morning.but since starting the pill, i have had no morning erections at all. i dont know if any of the guys have experienced all of these sides, but i definitely do...i have read mostly people having mild testicluar pains and quality and quantity of semen for a week or so.but i have these for more than 1 month now. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I AM WORRIED.i am considering switching to minoxidil although it did give me severe itching 1 year ago when i started using it. WILL minoxidil be as efficient as finasteride in maintaining the native hair? i dont care much about regrowing since i leave that to surgical restoration.my aim is to use meds for maintainence.but i dont want that at the cost of affecting my sex life as i have experienced so far with finasteride.shud i continue or switch to minoxidil? thanx again for sparing time to read all that.

cheers mates for taking time to reply.i will keep u updated and post monthly snaps.so far evrything is going smoothly and i have been religiously following doctor's instructions.the only thing i am struggling with is trying not to dislodge grafts while sleeping.i have never been able tp sleep straight.i've been instructed to sleep straight.i have somehow managed to do so for the first 4 nights after procedure but this morning when i woke up i just goit the feeling i had moved around on bed, which had put me in stress that i might have dislodged a few grafts.although there is no visible bleeding on the graft area.i have bit of itching on scalp which i can manage during daytime when i am awake.but scared i might scratch the grafts while asleep when i am not conscious.any suggestions on keeping my fears away? the other thing is using propecia for maintaining existing area.i did try monoxidil before but it caused hell of dandruff on my scalp so i cant think of trying it again.but i am scared about the side effects of propecia.any suggestions on that? cheers and thanks again for taking time to participate in my thread. best regards, sintraco
