TOPIC: Propecia for hair loss

Worst drug ever made. I\'m still in a lawsuit with Merck.

I repeat. NEVER. EVER. EVERRRRRR take Propecia/Dutasteride or any drug that systemically inhibits DHT. You will regret it for the rest of your life.

Some men claim there genital permanently shrank on this drug.

Hair aunt worth it but you went and hairtransplant surgery. In your cAse, it is worth it or else u wouldn\'t have gone to extreme measures to regain your hair.

Do u think your less intense orgasm has to do more with having peyronise surgery as opposed to drug? My orgasms are pretty dull now after I had surgery for buried penis.

Yeah. I had a transplant. No more Propecia was taken. I\'ve since lost more hair and my crown was almost completely bald. I shaved that shit off! Ironically, my wife thinks its super sexy on me. Hair-loss in men (androgenic alopecia) is androgen related be it prostaglandin, DHT, Testosterone, etc. Why on earth would you inhibit what makes you a man? I too was told that it was harmless years ago. I knew enough about endocrinology to know that it wasn\'t a good idea. I tried if for 6 months out of desperation before developing erectile dysfunction. I believe Propecia is responsible in part to my Peyronie\'s Disease (medical studies prove it). You never know when you will experience side effects. It could be years down the road after you\'ve been off the drug for some time. What good is a full head of hair if you land a girl and then can\'t perform? Try using a topical DHT inhibitor if it bothers you that bad but for God\'s sake, never take that poison. Some men will never have sex again due to it. Some have committed . Screw that! It\'s only hair. I\'m not going to waste all day telling you just how bad a drug finasteride is... But don\'t come crying when your junk shrinks and you have no libido...

A transplant is the best solution at present. Systemically inhibiting any androgen will have horrific consequences.

Though I underwent hair restoration, I\'d love to hear more as well. I\'ve done plenty of research on ACell and PRP. One aspect I found intriguing is that in many patients, the miniaturized follicles that were/should be gray grew in pigmented. Nice! I found it odd though as hair pigmentation is predominantly controlled by melanin and the enzyme catalase that inhibits H2O2. I wonder if the regrowth would remain pigmented over time... Would be interested to know his doctor and Norwood scale/treatment area plus associated costs. I\'ve read that the procedure only need be performed once every three years which would help offset sticker shock though I\'m sure more frequent treatments would improve results.

Gentlemen, my friend is on vacation (in South Africa). Will speak to him when he is back.

Will ask him and revert.

I second that, if you have any more information Supa..

Looks very promising. Can you please find out more info for us from your friend? Where, how much and how many treatments did he do? Thx!

friend of mine went for PRP (no transplant) and he is very happy, miniwikipedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/pla...eatment-for.html?m=1

ive taken proscar for about 8 years and havent had any problems and i believe its the only reason i still have a full head of hair. I have 2 other friends that are just as happy with the product as me. thats my experience.

Yes, about 8 years ago for about one year when I noticed my sex drive was down and my orgasms were weak. It worked for hair loss but messed up my sex drive. At that time, I never heard of that medicine having such an effect, I just related it to my problems and I stopped it. Took me a long time to get better, I will never know if it permanently effected me or not...Now we know the truth...Those F...ers!

Yes, I was considering takin propecia but now I\'m deciding its not worth the risk. I guess I can only try Rogaine and hope it slows down my hair loss.

Also, do you guys think over masturbating can contribute to premature hairloss? I heard masturbating contributes to extra dht production.
