Okay I guess my question is if I had the back door pathway finasteride won’t do anything for type one but my question is if I did nothing not finasteride at all wouldn’t it be worse??

Prob worse since you would have both isoenzymes active.

Thanks for the fast response too

Chronically online issues haha.

I’ll have to look all I know is the endo said my test is like 460 and dht is like 8 I think he said ill have to find the paper.. that gene test you were talking about last night does it test for if someone has more type 1??

Yes. Everything related to hair loss. You need to find one that is specified for hair

And if so like I said if type 1 and type 2 are both at play with me wouldn’t taking finasteride to at least help type 2 be better the doing nothing ???

Yeah def help more than nothing but maybe not enough for you

The genes thing is weird my dad passed at 66 full head of hair no loss at all smoked drank shitty life style.. but here’s the kicker the xchrom is on the moms side.. my moms dad aka my grandfather was bald as f*** at death and started losing hair at about 30 BUT his moms dad died at 80 with a Ronald Regan hair line so in theory my gpa should of got his genes and passed them to me.. so weird.. my gpas moms dad no joke had a full on teenage hairline that should of been passed to my gpa then to me

Nah it's getting fucked. Maybe in a mont when my hair get so bad again I will post one. I am now losing it due to the dosage reduction of duta I did a month ago

And where is it orally?? If so couldn’t it be pill crused and mixed like ru??

It is not oral but if the gel does not contain something too toxic I would try out of desperation lol

 

[Adri23]

I would have to see a pic of your hair years ago to judge

Kinda dumb question but I’ve really never seen it talked about.. question is if finasteride is working for someone does that mean they shed literally no hair at all I’m not talking about the shedding phase I’m talking after that if finasteride is working do they shed nothing???

 

[Adri23]

Adding dutasteride once a week will do nothing compared with daily.

I'd say Norwood 1.5

So what’s your Norwood you’ve never told me

Are u sure I didnt tell u?

Obvious everyone sheds, but the difference is that hair keep its thickness despite the shedding..With Androgenetic Alopecia that doesnt happen

That’s kinda what I thought.. sh*t all the stuff you know you could be a hair Doctor honestly..

What’s your take on topical spironolactone?? I have some but haven’t used it.. a waste a time??

Back when I was still going to my trichologist , he told me he should hire me to help him. Back in the days I didnt know as much tho.

As far as I can remember spironolactone is a prodrug that is mainly effective by being converted into their biological metabolites in the liver. I wouldnt waste time on topical spironolactone

@Seanrutty

Your hair at least is keeping hold for your age. Supposedly, you can improved it with Dutasteride and maybe a hair transplant with a GOOD doctor.

When it’s come to hair loss, ALWAYS trichologist, like 95% of the time.

The genetic test is called Fagron-Trichotest, and they have improved it since its release, adding more cohesive explanation for the results, plus they test some vitamins now too.

If you have Backdoor Pathway issues, Finasteride is not doing anything for that part. Simple.
