It looks like male pattern baldness, specifically diffuse pattern hair loss. Dr. Bernstein discusses it in one of his videos. I would recommend getting a script for Finasteride as soon as possible. The benefit of DPA is that most of your hairs are likely miniaturized but in tact to some extent (even if they are...

No this is incorrect, and bear in mind that what you are proposing has not only been recycled throughout the forum, but has been proven to be ineffective in terms of efficacy. What you are referring to based on my recollection of the terminology is detumescence therapy, which in essence a...

check your outbox (sent) JD. this will show whether it sent or not. If it shows the message you wrote up, you should be fine on that front :)

that sort of resembles someone with a clinical sex addiction or something to that end, but an interesting representation nonetheless

Yes, Joan is absolutely correct. the PM's i get from folks during my intermittent visits all fall in this range. JD, to the earlier point about blanket statements and sweeping conclusions that baldness == failure of life, I do advise you to reread my commentary on the matter. No, it isn't...

Yes, this is a viable option. I'm curious as to where you received the indian generics. I personally have been using cipla brand finasteride from ADC since I began, and I can speak to the continuing efficacy of the product. Perhaps you received a bad batch from an nonreputable area? the generic...

I would disregard this as immaterial, particularly because of sample and confirmation bias. There aren't just material flaws in the analysis (using an isolated study based on live video testimony. bear in mind that when a camera is in front of you, you are more than likely to alter your opinion...

very noble outlook, and definitely admirable that you were able to get to that point. perhaps some folks are much earlier in the process, others perhaps still have nearly full heads of hair, and perhaps others still do not have the prerequisite capabilities that are required to maintain and...

While I realize some initial trepidation regarding medical therapy, I would strongly advise you to consider all your options at disposal before relenting to letting it progress (bear in mind that I'm not a doctor, but these are my specific thoughts :D) I would actually think that you weren't...

It seems that there is certainly a string of posts running in concurrence that center around these topics. I personally thought it was an interesting social experiment, and while it isn't entirely analogous with reality, there is still a general trend that gives a basis for materiality. On...

I agree with Fred here. Fred, I'm afraid you are wasting your time with this individual. Its apparent that he will not acquiesce nor acknowledge some of the critical factors you brought up, so catering to the minutae is just an inefficient use of your time, since the only thing it seems to...

I can see that you are distraught over the extent of your loss, which is understandable. One thing I would caution however is to hold off on a hair transplant as long as you can if indeed you still have a material amount of hair. Medical therapy using finasteride and minoxidil can halt further progression...

This is fairly late in the process, but if I may, perhaps I can answer this to the extent of what I know. Anecdotally, i took finasteride particularly because i was going through diffuse thinning systematically across the top of the scalp. I am pretty glad with the decision I made, and overall I...

Yep, excellent as it was at first glance. Again, my congrats to you Pavi. You've done an exemplary job in tackling this condition while you still didn't have noticeable thinning or balding. To your previous question on delaying anti androgen therapy: I'm not a doctor of course, so I would...

It's been almost a year since I've been on here, (perhaps it was another shookwun..he had a man's face as his avatar), but you seem to have shifted your outlook absolutely over the duration of the year. I agree with the above. Weightlifting should be done for your sake of becoming a better...
