Still Losing Hair Even When On Finasteride 

Agree 👍

there is no such thing as stopping hairloss. With finasteride, you just block the most potent androgen in your body (DHT). You have plenty other androgens that are still making your hair fall out. Especially testosterone since it rises from the lack of DHT. You can only slow it down, never stop it. Females have the same hairloss too, just at such a slow rate that nobody ever notices, even in old women they only lost so little hair that it doesnt look like they have hairloss.

If the goal is not to lose any hair then that's a cure which probably will never happen.

@@utrippin7486 There should be other ways too to stop hairloss whether it is by DHT or other causes we all know if we loss some 100 or so hair it is not considered as hairloss and we are loosing for a very long period of time nobody says that's hairloss we got worried when we notice some thinning area where we see same visibly area with no hair which was not there before.

They can send people to mars but not cure baldness

Do you think your hairline regrowth is more due to minoxidil or finasteride? Do you have any side effects from finasteride?

how much does a roller hurt? that's the only thing keeping me from implementing it hahaha

​@@TruthAndReconciliationdoesn't even hurt. A dermastamp is better

@@idontsaythenword Where did you get your dermastamp? I’ve been looking for an adjustable one online but all the popular websites seem to sell shoddy ones that look like they’re break in a week

Fenasteride dosage ?

Do you have to wash minoxidil out everyday with shampoo ?

@@roberta6804 - I don’t. I have long hair and only wash it twice a week.

I'm on dutasterid for 3 months now the shedding is aggressive how long does it take to stop the shedding?

@@hasan6390 like me I’m using Dutasteraid for three months and my hair still fall out , around 150 hair per day , I don’t know what I should do , some people said that is normal when u starting a medicine like dutasteraid specifically when u switching from finasteraide to Dustasetride

@@hasan6390i have restarted finasteride after a gap 3 months and hairfall has increased

​@@hasan6390I took this dutasteride medicine for four months I did not notice any difference in the first month, not much, it may have been a subtle difference In the second month, it was like magic. My hair had been falling for the last ten years. For the first time, it happened that my hair stopped falling. I would rub my hair for hours but not even a single hair would fall. When I would bathe, I was surprised and not even a single hair would fall. And most importantly, a change started coming in my hair. This change was so great that my baldness started to disappear. 3rd month, in this month my hair started falling again to some extent 4th month, my hair started falling again, the baldness that was gone started to look lighter. =-:- Then I thought that the medicine is not showing any effect or it will not last long and I stopped taking the medicine. I was not financially capable of taking the medicine. But it has been 13 months since I stopped this medicine. Within 4 months of stopping the medicine, I lost so much hair that it was more than the hair I had before starting the medicine. 13 months have passed and I have become completely bald, but I am thinking of taking this medicine again for a year 🥲

Any side-effects ​@@hasan6390

It is because genetic hairloss isn't viewed as sincerely important, and is mostly seen as an aesthetic concern by the vast majority of people. However, I personally argue that hairloss is interlinked with mental health woes, and, therefore, should be taken seriously.

Dutasteride is the next stop.

Maybe because hairloss is not important for health compare to réal diseases ??? 🤦🤦🤦

Doctors and pharmaceutical company knows that but they will not share it 😂 money is money 🤑

i feel like you are right. I think I am shedding at 6 months in, but I cant find much info on if thats normal or not....any tips?

@@jamesbrickner5159 I’m at 7 months and still shedding. It’s starting to scare me. Everyone I’ve left messages with said to stay the course. They say that they’re pushing old hairs out to bring in new stronger ones. How bad is your shedding??

@@jamesbrickner5159 I’m at almost 7 months and still shedding. I’ve been told to stay the course. 🙏. Has yours slowed down at all??

@@trumpnation4198 nah i ordered minoxidil and I think im going to take that plunge in conjunction with the finasteride

@@trumpnation4198 starting minoxidil tonight

How long did you started with finastride?

@@antonioashkar8895 7 months ago

Hey listen to me. Dutasteride is the strongest hairloss drug there is. It takes TIME sometimes over a year to see progress. 5 months is not enough, do not give up!!! Add minoxidil and do it for 1 year with dutasteride!!! Do not count hairs, wear a hat if you need to and take care of your body

Any progress after dutasteride???

Update

Yeah I had a pretty bad shed, it came back

@@Mercurial_Phantomwhen did it came back

@@MiniBerkan few months

@@Mercurial_Phantom like after 8months or earlier?

@@MiniBerkan 3-4

Year that too long

Have you checked your vitamin d and b12 deficiency?

@@MyPlanet123 I haven't. Are they associated with hair loss?

@@Madaaguu yes bro, deficiency of vitamin d and b12 causes heavy hair fall. Go to near by clinic, have a thyroid test, vitamin d and b12 test to know whether do you have any deficiency in them

From what I've seen personally, that seems to be rather common.

Could be shedding phase that can be prolonged by dutasteride than finasteride. I do say keep going

It's just a shed. Dutasteride doesn't make hairloss worse .

@@exactly1176 my hair is so much worse after a year

Update please

No, your testosterone level will not be affected, if anything, it grows higher, but still within a healthy range.

​@@allenc4731 is it the same for dutasteride?

Supposedly your testosterone will increase 10%

No but it may affect your libido

Minoxidil

i’ve heard it’s not good to comb wet hair

Update

What type of side effect you saw with fin

@@imrahul335 ED and low libido

what were the main bad side effects?

How long it take for the side effects to slow down once you reduced your dosage ?

@@Gopismatz 3 weeks

You should go to a youtube channel called Haircafe. He is very knowledgeable in this topic. Watch a few of his videos and itll put your mind at ease.

.

Try eating natural diet too like carrots and Indian gooseberry

Those are the hairs u should be worrying about. Long hair is healthy. Short hair is at the end of its life

I'am like you but on month 7

Trust me bro don’t take this poison PFS is real and it’s fucked me up.. got every symptom plus it’s affected my kidneys. I’m in the process of seeing doctors trust me bro stay away from this shit. It’s not worth the risk there not being totally honest about the true effects. There are plenty of people sharing there stories on you tube and there debilitating battle with PFS. Do your self a favour and just shave your head and be happy this drug is truly poison… I took these drugs for nearly two years before the symptoms started.. it starts with an eye twitch then come the kitchen sink of symptoms.

I don't think that should be the case, after all they regularly prescribe Propecia (5mg Finasteride) to patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia

They are reluctant because it’s meant for the prostate. Hair maintenance is only a byproduct but side effects are very real with it

My gastroenterologist told me that it was fine to take it.

Update?

@@user-wr9dh6yv1o nope nothing worked, the doctor prescribed me to go for prp so thats what ive been up with, its working wonders for me, ive had one session right now and the next will be like 10 days from now but most of my hair fall stopped literally the next day after getting prp for the first time.

Bro watch more videos from them, it stays in the scalp for at least 20 days so it was probably something else like high stress or similar. Hope it gets better man

Don't Worry Just Treat your scalp well make sure there is no inflamatìon or dandruff use sulphate free shampoo to tacke oily hair

3 days is nothing for finesteride. I don't know about the half-life of the chemical, but when I stopped topical finesteride I experienced hair loss only after like 3 months after. So I'm thinking the effect stays in your scalp long after you stop.

Sounds like biotin diffeciency take biotin for 3 months

Yes, your hair will grow thicker and stronger after 3-6 months. It means finasteride is working for you.

Minoxidil alone with not stop or prevent hair loss you need to get finestride because what causes hair loss is a hormone called dht and it attacks the hair follicles killing them all minoxidil does is provide blood flow to the follicle and prolongs the androgen fase

topical does not work

Oral

It’s shedding the weak hairs

Update

No

No

Yes!!!!

Yeah... My hair loss became more aggressive after getting vaxxed

If these medication didnt worked, then its more likely cause by other factors rather than androgenetic alopecia such as nutrition deficiencies that can mimic male pattern hairloss. Check your nutrition level and see whats missing. That could be case

@@ayadhussin6771 Yes, I have been thinking about this, as I don't have male pattern baldness - I have diffuse thinning all over, but I have a varied and healthy diet. I don't know what to do.

@@jasongomez5344 get blood tests, could be a thyroid issue, deficiency etc that a blood test can identify

@@jasongomez5344 You need to consider high-quality magnesium supplement, and retinol (preferably from natural source such as cod liver oil) and copper (preferably from natural source such as grassfed beef liver). These nutrients is key factor for hair growth if you suffer diffuse thinning hair. I also suffer diffuse thinning hair something that looks like female pattern hairloss since 12 years now and I will try to follow up protocol remedies on this

Go visit a dermatologist

That is not a question anyone can really answer. First one would need to know if it was Finasteride or Minoxidil that was successfully regrowing hair...or both? If I had to choose one to keep taking, I'd choose Finasteride.

Finasteride and minoxidil work independently through separate mechanisms so one cannot substitute for the other. Where finasteride limits the DHT that reaches your hair follicles and thus curbs hair loss over time, minoxidil supercharges the follicles so they stay in their anagen (growth) phrase longer. Cutting off minoxidil will result in you losing the hairs you regrew with it, likewise cutting finasteride will mean DHT continues to hurt your hair follicles until even the minoxidil regrown hairs will fall out

No

Absolutely not. That's a myth

No thats BS

@@Mercurial_Phantom I think when we masturbate we got some escalation in the level of testosterone in our body and if the testosterone level is high then there is a good probability for the high level of DHT as it only converts through testosterone and high testosterone level can lead the high level of DHT too and some might argue with that it is a very short time span escalation in the testosterone level but what about those who are masturbating daily for 2 times for 5 or 6 years these short span of time of high testosterone level may to lead high level of testosteron, it might not attacking our hair with high power but it is attacking with law level of high testosterone and in a long period of time we would able to see small attacks in a long run have destroyed a lot

No.

100% yes, and be careful, you'll go blind too.

I believe the association is not causal, and if I recall correctly it is the case that finasteride makes it easier to diagnose this type of cancer, meaning that finasteride is associated with recorded cases of the cancer, but is not the cause of it.

Any risk is too much of a risk for something cosmetic

Frequency/week and dosage?

@@ukidding 0,5 mg per day, 7 days plus minoxidil one application per day

Twice or thrice a week of .5mg dosage will work wonders

I was on it for nearly two years before it really fucked me up… the symptoms are not worth the debilitating issues that come with simply wanting to keep your hair. I would strongly recommend you stop ASAP.
