Is Finasteride 100% Safe When Trying To Have Children?  

how can we book time with the doctor?

Thanks!

Thanks for the appreciation. Matt is doing a wonderful job!

Could you please share?

Hopefully GT20029 will replace fin

Mate do you take a pill every day or every other day?

@@randomfellow1483 Hey, it depends on my laziness. Sometimes every other day and sometimes 3 days. But rarely every day

Is your child delivered? Is it all good? I take duta like on alternate days and wife is pregnant now, I'm kinda worried

@@prolificbat 1.5 months left, doctor is saying that he is super healthy and growing very good. He even said that he almost never seeing a heart rate to be that perfect. :) PS. Dont be worried!

@@Misiek131a ah I see, that's nice to hear!

That work for ever, just maybe need to adjust to your dht level, dutasteride is better for regrowth

​@@jackcarver8234 i dont understand. I should lower the dose to preserv dht? My levels werent too much altered since i started and i apply twice a day and take regular blood tests, im a medical student so i can use the university hospital.

@@gabrielresende4769 dht is not an hormone you want un your body since you are a adulte

I am having same issue

how do you mix them bro? I'm currently using topical Minoxidil and am considering adding pyrilutamide. I prefer the liquid version of minoxidil. Can I apply finasteride right after? I'm thinking of using one in the morning and the other in the evening. However, I'm unsure about how long it takes for topical finasteride to be absorbed. If I apply it in the morning, I want to wash my hair, but I'm concerned about washing away the finasteride .

according to @hairtransplantinindia topical finasteride is not effective.

Stabilisation. Will post an update on it this soon. Will be 1 year now since switching from oral onto topical

@mattdominance Hi Matt, I’m on pill finasteride since 10+ years. No side effects. I’m considering switching to topical for conception. Can you specifically say something about topical finasteride? Should I also not take also topical finasteride at all when trying to conceive, given that anywhere you search they say it has much less of ALL side effects? I have also a more nuanced question. Interrupting finasteride pill maximises both sperm quality and minimises risks to the fetus. Agreed on that. However, are we really sure finasteride stay in the system for 60 days? This doctor seems EXTREMELY conservative. I mean, come on, if my girlfriend doesn't touch the pill, is it really dangerous to keep it hidden in a drawer? Because if it ain't so, wouldn't it be a better protocol to interrupt the pill WHILE going on topical finasteride for 2 months and in the mean time maximising sperm count, and THEN interrupting also the topical finasteride 10 days prior to trying to conceive? Thank you for your support, Kind regards

@@DemetrioSahaquiel hi Demetrio, 10 years is a long time, did you maintain your hair with finasteride or lose overtime? I would be happy to know

More than 10. Actually something like 14. Perceptively I maintained them at the same level than when I started. My hairline receded only a little bit but so slow that I barely noticed the difference until a doctor told me I did lose a little bit in the front. Generally they are thick and don’t fall.

And what do you think about dutasteride ?

@@exactly1176 same concept, dutasteride does effect spermatogenesis more for sure

​@Aglahad would you recommend switching from 0.5mg dutasteride to 1mg finasteride while trying to conceive ? And then go back to dutasteride later of course . ?

This is being used for a cosmetic indication and not for a life saving illness. It needs to be avoided even when the chances are remote. Moreover, doctors have to be extra cautious to not go against what's on the label approved by the FDA.

​@@exactly117610mg per day sounds good for me for head full oh hair

you could make the case that stopping topical fin or dut is more important if you're trying to conceive or your partner is pregnant, since the opportunities to expose them to the drug is much higher. I used topical fin, but on the advice of our doctor I took a few months break to conceive with my partner. When she was pregnant, I resumed but used oral fin instead. I even paid for the more expensive 1mg tablets so I wouldn't risk exposure by splitting the 5mg ones in the house. These steps minimized possible fertility concerns, minimized possible harms to the baby, and still preserved my hair.

Hey man, were you able to conceive?

Dude, it’s not related to my question, and it’s none of your business.

@@DemetrioSahaquiel You're literally in youtube video that discusses conception while on fin, I didn't mean any disrespect man, just wondering if it's ok to take fin while trying to conceive. Take care.

Sorry, my apologies, it seemed a little too personal af first. I am not trying to conceive yet, but I'm about to have a HT, and after that, interrupting finasteride for some time will be trickier. Therefore, I am only trying to make a plan in my head in advance, for the day I will have to conceive and make that decision. @jeniosk1097

​@DemetrioSahaquiel I think the biggest risk is when your wife comes in contact with finasteride and I think there is a way higher risk when you have a solution in your bathroom which maybe drips on the floor, in the sink or whatever. On the other side the concentration in your body should be lower and thus also in your sperm with topical compared to oral fin. I guess taking topical somewhere your wife can't come in contact with, is the best option, maybe even stopping it at least one month before trying to conceive and use a condom in the first 3 month of pregnancy after starting to take it again.

There is no hatred for any drug that is effective and topical has not proven to be.

I think stopping topical fin is more important if you're trying to conceive or your partner is pregnant, since the opportunities to expose them to the drug is much higher. Topical finasteride still goes pretty systemic, I would expect it can cause similar male fertility issues but it's not clear it would be at the same rate as oral finasteride.

The risk that the woman has contact with Finasteride is much higher and it's better to switch to oral

Yes both topical and Finasteride need to be stopped and kept away safely. For the same duration.

Dr bhatti please tell me I just recently got a hair transplant done 10 days back, now in your videos that it is good to have finasteride after hair transplant.but I want to conceive what should I do now although I am taking finasteride with a break of two days.because my existing hairs are falling out.what should I do to save my hairs as well as not compromise my newly transplant and also conceive safely .please sir answer

@@allauddinkhan9382 I would recommend speaking with your local doctor/GP to get best advice.

Yes Sir. It is not so often talked about since Dutasteride is not FDA approved for hair loss. It is used off label for hair loss.

We are not talking of potency. We are talking of the likelihood of getting fetal abnormalities. A person who is taking Finasteride is likely potent enough or else he should be off it in the first place!

Come in Matt himself is using it. Does it look like it doesn’t work?

so.. your father was selfish? xD , the social media is brainwashing people it seems.

What would happen

@@wolves1980 Well, like the Doctor said, there might be a risk of developmental anomalies in the fetus.

Ofcourse.

How so?

What is false?

Elaborate

Half life and therapeutic effect are COMPLETELY different things

Half life and effective dose differ.

​@@hairtransplantinindiaMy wife and myself are planning to have a baby. I know l'll have to stop finasteride. Here are my questions: 1- Should l stop finasteride for all the duration of the pregnancy ? 2- What are the alternatives for me during the time l'll stop finasteride ? Regards

@@Poupipoupi-bw2bl 1. Logical answer would be yes till the Pregnancy Report comes positive 2. and after that if you are using a Barrier !
