Hi. I’ve been using finasteride 1mg for about 1,5 years now and I’m doing alright so far. However, I did get braces 2 weeks ago and I’m worried about a medicine like finasteride having a bad impact on my orthodontic treatment. For example, I know you shouldn’t take ibuprofen during orthodontic...

What shampoo/method would you suggest to get rid of it?

Any of you guys who experienced massive shedding (like 200-300+ a day) before even starting treatment? If so, what have you tried to combat it? Were you sure it was male pattern baldness causing it and did you see miniaturization? Also, did certain treatments not halt the insane shedding and did some stuff make...

Like, even if the insane shedding is caused by Telogen Effluvium, how do you figure out what is causing it? For me the shed started pre meds so I can rule that out. Also my thyroid levels are good, I hardly experience any stress and my vitamin levels are decent I suppose. Also this stuff has been going on for...

Yo Don! What did the derm tell you?

Hmm, interesting look on the matter. Though, and I say this with respect so don’t see this as me bashing on your way of thinking, I’m skeptic.. I’ve been shedding like a feline for basically 1,5 years now. When it first started I panicked like crazy because I thought I was gonna be visibly...

I have the same weird bulbs on some of the hairs that fall out, but I had that pre-finasteride as well so I don’t know if it’s related. I always thought it had something to do with the sebum stuck to my head. You can’t see real dandruff on my head, but if I scrape my scalp with my fingernail I...

‘Not getting a full grown boner’ can be categorized under problems with erection I guess. It can fade away since your body is still adjusting to the medication. It can also be that you’re just too sensitive to the medication, but there’s no way to know that right now since you just started...

It all depends on how important your hair is to you mate, only by knowing that you can ask yourself if it’s worth it/the risk. Of course I don’t know how severe your loss is, but if you’re not that bothered with losing (all) your hair at some point then I would not touch it if I were you...

30 to 50 hairs on your comb from a couple days worth of combing sounds good to me. I easily get that amount if I run my fingers trough my hair for a minute lol But I don’t really comb my hair so wouldn’t know mate.

^ Reason I started. Not responding or not starting, outcome is the same and you’ll go bald anyway. So yeah, I’d rather have a fighting chance and whatever it will bring I’ll find out in time.

You’re in your own head mate. There is a huge psychological factor to the whole libido and ‘getting hard’ thing. If you’re worrying about if you can get it up, how long you can keep it up, how hard it’s gonna be when it’s up.. You’re not 100% focussed on the one important thing at that time...

I’d snap a couple pics with wet hair if I were you because diffuse thinning can be hard to detect in the early stages. Based on these pics, I’d say no. Though my hair looks okay on pictures when it’s freshly washed and dry but you can clearly see the diffusing when it’s wet. Why do you think...

You jump to conclusions just like my ex did. Get your bro-science out of here mate.
