2.5mg Dutasteride the cure for young people balding?

[kumarhk]

So I've come to believe that 2.5mg dutasteride or more will ultimately stop male pattern baldness indefinitely because it basically rids your body of serum and follicular DHT. As noticed in men with 5AR deficiency, male pattern baldness does not occur. I understand that the long term biological model is not yet fully understood for 5AR1 deficiency, but if you start taking this dosage after puberty in your early 20s; and testosterone is only needed to continue sperm production, then you should be okay. Has anyone that has just begun to lose their hair at a young age jumped on this 2.5mg dutasteride regimen?

If this really was a cure, I'm sure you wouldn't be the only one excited about it.

I understand the risks heavily outweigh the gains here, mind you, but if all you are is looking for is to retain your hair before it begins to fall out, or shortly after the balding process has begun.. then this should in theory stop it.

Male pattern baldness just isn't that simple my friend. In theory it should stop male pattern baldness down to a rate of 97% slower, but the human body isn't an equation and likes to adjust rather annoyingly according to whats going on around it. You must consider hyper-sensitivity folicles from DHT depletion, other androgens such as testosterone binding to the folicles.

The 'cure' would be a pill which completely blocks all folicle receptors from contact with androgens. Basically (in a sense) giving us the non-sensitive folicles like the men who don't go bald. Untill that comes, dutasteride is certainly the best liable option.
