Read somewhere or heard it on the news that the increase may be due to the fact that avodart shrinks the benign tumor so much that this allows easier access to the smaller high risk tumor (malignant?) during a biopsy. So if this is the case, then even though the percentage of high grade...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I remember reading somewhere that 5AR2 accounts for about 70% of serum DHT and and the rest comes from 5AR1. So if a high percentage of 5AR2 is being inhibited systemically then then systemic T levels increase as a result. This increase in systemic T...

Just occurred to me that when propecia raises T levels as a result of blocking 5AR2 from converting T to DHT that the increased T can result in more 5AR1 activity at its locations. I believe 5AR1 is found in the brain and sebaceous glands of hair.

I doubt revivogen had any effect on your hair loss. The effects of propecia are believed to wear off around a year after you stop taking it. So in the 12 months after you stopped finasteride your hair was still the result of finasteride and not anything from revivogen. Did you take a gerenric of finasteride you...

Just curious, but what kind of sexual side effects are you guys experiencing? Is it the inability to maintain an erection or simply the fact that you cannot get aroused at all. In the case of the former, has anyone tried v**** or another type of ED drug to counteract the side effect of finasteride?

Just wondering if anyone saw this and if this has changed their view on the drugs they order online. I was seriously considering to order a 1 year supply of fincar from one of three websites (alldaychemist, inhousepharmacy.biz, and unitedpharmacies) until I saw this special. I was sure if the...

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.

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...

Anyone ever heard of animal hair being transplanted to humans. Before I get bashed for this post I searched "animal hair" and did not find anything relevant of having already been posted. I know that patients with heart assist devices use a pig artery without having to take immuno-suppressants...

Re: Whowahhh's Story - (Mid 20's /adding Dutas) sorry it just came to me, it looks like you had a hair transplant in addition to the dutas, please be more clear

Re: Whowahhh's Story - (Mid 20's /adding Dutas) I saw your post and I'm thinking about starting dutasteride once my propecia runs out next jan. You can see where I'm at in my story where I recently uploaded pics, mostly of my crown. REGARDING your reinforcements picture, do you think the...

Hello all, I am coming up on 6 months of propecia now and 2 months of kirk 5% minoxidil 2x/day and nizoral 1% 3x/week (I have also been using the lasercomb pro since end of february but I don't know how effective this really is). My concern is that the area within the mid part of my hairline is...

Hey matt I feel your pain and you're not alone. I'm 20 and have gone through a ridiculous amount of hair thinning in less than 1 year. I am only glad that I accepted it and chose to do something about it early rather than be in denial about it before I hit the point of no return. I started...
