Hopefully it doesn't prompt people to make rash decisions regarding their own situations. The media shove physical perfection down our throats these days and pick holes in anybody who deosn't fulfill their notion of how someone should look...sad really and shows what kind of a world we live in...vacuous and superficial.

On a general note there seems to be more and more articles regarding HT's and treatments in the press....not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing ?!

What aspects of the article did you think were inaccurate ?

Rob you are fortunate to have been unaffected by the medication in all those years of usage. However the fact remains that there is no way of knowing prior to starting consumption of Finasteride whether or not you will suffer any sides. Also I think the low % of those who will suffer sides that the manufacturers claim is frankly bs. Look at all the lawsuits pending in the US and the increasing research out there that claims that some users will suffer permanent adverse affects. Anecdotally I can tell you that a close friend of mine's relationship with his partner was wrecked by his usage of the drug. I agree that such cases are probably in the minority all the same. Hopefully a reliable alternative will be available in a few years. Good luck to you. Charlie

Sorry but anybody considering using Finasteride needs their head examined...and I don't mean by a HT Surgeon! To think that any man would knowingly take the risk of losing function of his manhood for the sake of potentially restoring hair on his head is quite frankly ludicrous.

Yes mate a little too young to consider a HT. You could get one but then you would likely be chasing your hair loss for the next few years and ultimately would require several procedures. I'm no expert mind you.

Comhghairdeas mo chara :-)

Information I received from their clinic is that Dr. Feriduni is consulting in London on December 8th & 9th 2012

Am interested in this topic myself...I am potentially considering a HT but have never taken and will never take meds (well at least what's available currently). Frankly I'd rather go bald than impotent anyway

Be interesting to see what kind of information come out about the drug when the inevitable class action lawsuits start against the manufacturers

Good luck SADbutTRUE....I myself am too wary of the side effects to take the plunge and try Propecia. Guess it's pot luck !
