After many reports of people not finding dutasteride more effective than finasteride, I'd like to know a little more about the experiences of people who made the switch, in this community and r/tressless. You can access the questions HERE. The answers are anonymous but I will share the general...

Topical finasteride caused gyno at 0.25% and didn't even work. Oral finasteride isn't strong enough either. I would need something like dutasteride, but with gyno... At this point I'm considering full breast gland removal and going on dutasteride.

Yes, I saw a hair restoration surgeon and he said that currently they could get 4000 grafts from my donor hair, probably 6000. But this amount is surely going to decrease since I'll have a big crown. He said that my beard could also give 500 additional grafts. I'm having laser body hair removal...

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually bought the dermaroller and started doing it, but stopped after Kevin Mann made a video exposing worries that the scarring could cause some kind of long-term damage to the scalp, and make it less suitable for a Hair Transplant in the future (hair doesn't grow...

Agree, in my eyes it's not just the price, but hey, kudos to whoever wants to use them, it's a legitimate choice. In my case I'd rather have something more natural, as a well done hair transplant, even if that means leaving crown and receded temples untouched. The problem is that it might not be possible...

You're right, but I don't have the money for maintenance and also dislike hair systems, I hate the feeling of something that's not "mine". Reminds me of being a teenager and having to use dentures for a couple teeth I needed implants for, it felt horrible. I would go for SMP if I had the money...

When I first noticed the decline, I went to a compounding pharmacy to get 1 mg dailly. However the gyno was still there even when I went back to the previous brand. Topical finasteride also worsened it although it was also compounded. My only chances are a topical antiandrogen like CB or RU, which I...

I haven't gotten it yet. They sell it in Anagen Inc.

I asked a plastic surgeon today and he claimed that only over 10% of people have a reoccurrence of the drug-induced gyno when keeping finasteride. Not sure if I trust him as all cases in the tressless subreddit experienced the opposite: gyno reoccurrence. He also claimed that some people have it back...

I've decided to try CB-03-01, although the price is painstakingly high, but I only intend to use it in key areas such as the widow's peak. I'm a diffuse thinner with gyno from 5-ARIs and running out of antiandrogens. I've heard that the cladcoterone molecule is hydrophobic and solutions with...

There is anecdotal evidence with no scientific background whatsoever, except for stopping alcohol and doing weight lifting which have a mild effect. Glad it worked for you.

Mmmm I don't think there's hard evidence for any of those methods, except maybe weight lifting and avoiding alcohol...yet the change should be minimal unless you were drinking non stop 24/7 and extremely overweight.

You can only do that through aromatase inhibitors and they are illegal in my country (Spain) for this indication, no Dr will prescribe them, you would have to self medicate. Also, I've been told they are dangerous on the long run.

The gyno grows back if finasteride or dutasteride were the original cause. The only way to avoid this would be to remove the whole gland, but no surgeon does that as your nips would sink.

Fixed for life but you are not on finasteride or dutasteride, I presume? If you are on finasteride or dutasteride and the gyno doesn't get worse, that may be because your gyno was developmental and not drug-induced...
