The major problem of making studies for such a medication is that people know the possible side effects. I can almost guarantee that 99% of people that got lower libido, got it because they got depressed over possible side effects. Someone should pay balding people to take fin for some time and the examine them. I know this might not be the ethical solution but if people take money whats the worst that can happen? Those effects were mostly reversable.

@pkipling Hi again, i did a 2 day wash. After the 2nd day it was already much better. Doesnt mean i m still no thinning though. I found some of my hairs being thinner than the others. And as it looks like on pics, the recession progresses at a slow but certain pace. I still dont wanna go on minox. I dont wanna go on fin because i already suffer from depression that doesnt have to do anything with hairloss in general, so it might get harder with fin. I want to give minox as much time as possible because minox just stops working after some time when our scalp gets used to it. I see minox more of a "buy 2 or 3 years time" medication.

I know how annoying is to hear "just shave it bro". Hairloss has been ruining lives no matter how crazy that sounded. But if hairloss is affecting your life this much, maybe focusing on the beard and shaving your head would give you a massive mental relief. I think that its better to be "less attractive" but happy and confident with what you ve got than depressed over a long period time over hairloss. Since hairloss is affecting you this much, are you doing somethign to stop it? Are you on some of the "big 3"? What is your plan? If you are not planning to commit on saving your hair then shave it. Watchign your hair recede over time will just screw you over mentally and phisically. You ll look less attractive with the balding hair than a shaved head. Let girls meet you first time with shaved head. If they never seen you with hair, then why would they even care that you are bald now? Thats why people look at the actor from transporter, bruse willis and vin diesel as attractive bald men, because nobody fucking saw them with hair lmao. They built their looks on being bald. Think about it

I have seen people doing minox only once a day before sleep and it worked well for them. Half life of minox is like 22-23hrs so ...

"we are mature enough to do that" Says the guy who is literally trolling and acting like an ignorant piece of shit to gain reactions. Nobody is going to feed the troll by spending active effort to prove him wrong with collecting evidence

That advice about stepping back was spot on. Thanks i will try to be more positive and stop overthinking it. I have 2 pictures with 8 month gap. I did have 2 stressful surgeries 1 month ago though (just a side info). You can tell a difference. One was taken today, the other one 8 months ago. I have washed my hair 24 hrs ago. I pulled by myself atleast 70 hairs and i have undercut type of hairstyle so who knows how much on sides fell off..it just felt wrong. Im going through a lot of stress because of many things, including hairloss as well

I had a thought today, im not a doctor or anything, this may sound stupid also. But lets think about how men change their hormone levels over time. DHT plays a huge role in puberty around developing sexual organs etc etc. But when puberty is over..Men, starting from their middle 20s, lose testosterone and have higher DHT levels. Wouldnt that mean your libido will be high too since your DHT levels are higher because testosterone is converting at higher rate to DHT? And how come the older you are, the lower your libido is? What if medications like propecia cause ED to some men because of something else and not DHT? Just a thought...

I have switched to a "custom made" shampoo from nettle that is more of an extract of nettle rather than a real shampoo (its not that bubbly and dense). So i m guessing that i m failing to wash out all the hair while using that shampoo and it stacks up even more, so when i hit the 3 day mark it gets scary. When im washing out the shampoo, my hair gets "hard" or i wouldnt be able to go through it with fingers. So i guess thats the reason i have that many hairs stacked up? I ve just bought nizoral which i m gonna use for 2 weeks every 3 days, then i m gonna use it once a week once i get rid of dandruff. Anyways thanks both of you for replies.

I would intentionally go with my hands through the hair. after 2 days of not washing my hair i can pull 2 3 hairs every time i go through the hair. I feel like it wouldnt stop ever, even after 10 times i would keep getting atleast one hair. On the wash day, lets say 2 days also, while i m shampooing hair, i can for sure pull 6 to 10 hairs (when i pull hair with both hands) almost every time i go through it. It scares the shit out of me because i dont know if i just didnt pay attention before or it started to get more extreme. i could end up with 150 hairs atleast and i still feel it would never stop coming out (after 3 days of not washing my hair). What additionally stresses me is that when i do the same pull test on my sides, i would barely get 2 hairs out, its mostly everything on the middle side of the head where people get hairloss. I could lie to myself that hair on sides easier falls off so it doesnt stack up, but even i cant believe that story. I m giving 6 more months to my hair to see if theres any difference and i m getting on some medication to prevent it. So far i m using dermaroller 1mm every 7 days, nizoral and some home made stinging nettle "shampoo". Its not really a shampoo its more like an extract of nettle that was cooked or something.

I thought the first pics were 2011 lol. Your hair even looks better there. Stop panicking

Today after 2.5 days of not washing my hair i started pulling hairs before washing my hair out of curiosity. I kept pulling 5 hairs with my fingers going through the hair. I pulled atleast 50 hairs before washing hair. While shampooing hair, i pulled another 50 for sure. After drying my hair, i started pulling hairs again, 50. Lets say i pulled out 150 hairs. My hair is medium sized, kinda thick and the only early sign of balding i have is tiny recession on temples. How much is really normal to pull out when not washign hair for 2 to 3 days? Its really hard for me to tell because there is a good chance i didnt wash all the fallen hair last time i washed my hair. I also had a very stressful week and this is first time pulling this many hairs. Any thoughts on this?

Womens libido works totally different than mens libido, you cant compare these 2 things. Just because some of the DHT is blocked it doesnt mean you dont have any left which means you can still have libido

Yeah, if you are obviously balding you shouldnt give a try to things like that and stick to what has been proven to work

The only reason it increases testosterone (something like 8%) is because it blocks the conversion to DHT. DHT and libido are very much directly related. DHT is necessary for libdo. Now depending on how much you block it, you will influence your libido a tiny bit or a noticeable bit

How is there no scientific background? The medication literally blocks the sex hormone that has a huge role in libido.

i m not denying that you can take fin and have libido, all i m saying is that if libido really really matters to you, you shouldnt do it. It takes a % of it. DHT is still playing a role in that

Taking finasteride is about taking sacrifices. Its all in priorities. I can 100% guarantee you that your boner will never be as hard as it used to be, whether you got the sides or not. If you are happy will that tradeoff, then good for you. My choice will always be - start minoxidil/dermarolling on time, if it works it works, if not screw it. But i guess you started treating it too late so you hopped on everything you could to get it back.

I felt the same way as you. Nothing to worry about yet. just take pics every few months and once you spot notable differences start with something. Thats a normal whirl, i have the same kind of whirl for few years i ve been tracking my hair.

I m not here to site you evidence that saturated fat and cholesterol is causing further hairloss or heart diseases. Bodybuilders who eat 10 whole eggs, especially raw a day, are morons. If there is 180mg of cholesterol in one egg yolk, you need a simple math to know that its a really bad idea to take this many eggs. Never said anything about unsaturated fat. When you talk about hairloss, your overall health is also very important. Vitamin D3 is also specifically good for hair. If you are vitamin D deficient, you can start losing hair at faster pace. Just like not getting enough sleep. Now back to simple math. Recommended daily cholesterol intake is around 300-400mg. If one egg has 180mg, how much would you go over the top with 10 eggs a day? Lets go buddy you can do it.

I also wanna know which one of those caps from amazon are proven to work. There are some that say "this is not a professional version". The vary from 500 to 1500+$ so if anyone had results with it let me know which one you have at home.

High cholesterol makes your blood vessels tighter, less circulation, high risk of heart disease and many other issues. Saturated fat boosts up LDL cholesterol. Saturated fat shouldnt be avoided tho, but it should be taken in low dosages. Drinking eggs is just a very dumb idea. You shouldnt take more than 400mg of cholesterol a day, and one egg large egg yolk has 180 mg of cholesterol. I can only assume that you are taking atleast 3 egg yolks which is already a lot. Cholesterol is present in meat, dairy products, so you can end up stacking up a good amount of cholesterol by eating too much of all of that. Eat 50grams of fiber a day, especially if your diet is high in cholesterol, it can help reduce it. So. Eat a lot of veggies. Take a shit ton of brocolli, carrots and other veggies in the mixer, make a soup out of it and chug it down for the easy micronutrients and fiber. Take vitamin D supplement, thats a must on winter. 90% of the people are in deficiency of that vitamin during winter so taking a supplement is a good idea. (up to 500IU a day, i take 10 000 every 2 days because thats how much the pill has). Protein get from chicken breasts, beans, lentils and rice. Mixing these foods will bring you a lot of health benefits.

It looks like a slow hairloss. I dont know if i d have balls to go on fin but see if it works for you. Get any minoxidil 5% product if you want to keep it at that

Avoid food high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Eat 50 grams of fiber a day.

I can confirm that creatine doesnt raise DHT. I have a gene for hairloss, been using creatine for 3 year. For the duration of those 3 years i havent had shedding. Study does show the increase in DHT in football players as i remember but could be for many other reasons. I stopped using Creatine supplement because i didnt even want to risk a slightest chance of dht increase because the supplement itself is not worth it and it barely works. Creatine in food is extremely hard to get because its usually in raw meat, which we dont eat. To get a daily creatine dose you would need to eat a shit ton of raw beef. Once you cook the meat creatine is gone

Im gonna do anything to prolong the end result which will be my bald head. My last resort will be minox, until then, microneedling, healthy diet, vitamin shampoo and cold washing..and hope i survive my 30s I m going to look up for PRP tho, never read much about it, might even do that
