Should I have any blood work or anything done before I get on propecia? Some other questions as well

[nyny12]

Hey guys, I think I am actually going to go with propecia instead of prp just because it has more data behind it. A couple questions first

 

1) Should I have any blood work done or get anything checked beforehand (thyroid problems, hormonal imbalances etc..)?? I have not had insurance for a while ( I am 22) and I have not had any physicals or blood work done in over 8 years.

 

2) Also my hair is thinning just in the frontal corners and a little bit in the front middle I think ( I may just be paranoid, I dont know because I am overreacting to this so it the loss in the middle may just be in my head). Anyways should I even try propecia right now or see where my loss goes from here and then get on it since I am so young. I heard propecia stops working after 5 years so I dont know if I want to waste it now, or maybe a better option will be available in 5 years.

 

What do you guys think

No. Just watch for side effects.

Yes. Get on Finasteride. Don't gamble and wait around for newer technology. Use what is available now. And get on minoxidil too!
