HairyCarey Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 So I tried Finasteride for like 5-6 months. I honestly don't know if it was a mental placebo affect or what, but I felt like I didn't have any life down there, or interest in sexual encounters, although I was still able to pleasure myself, I would not get fully erect. Anyhow, knowing Finasteride might be off the table. Is it pointless to get a Hair Transplant? I'm 37, I believe my hair will still fall out over time. I dont want my head to look weird in the future, so I'm wondering what to do.... My primary said we could try oral minoxodil instead.....not sure if anyone has any experience with that or if its better / worse than fin.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 25, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 25, 2023 What is your current hair loss status now? Apart from topical Finasteride and dutasteride you may want to consider oral minoxidil. If you could share some pics of your hair that would really help. All the best. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 25, 2023 Administrators Share Posted April 25, 2023 You should consider other options. Try reducing the dose/frequency. You can also try a topical version. If you have hair to save, best to do everything you can to save it before getting a hair transplant. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.
