Ok here's my personal story I'm 32 started to see hairloss at age 21 started treatment at age 24 (Norwood 1,5 - 2) started with Nizoral shampoo (use the stuff now for 8 years) added minoxidil (now used for 6 years) added topical spironolactone-cream (now used for 4 years) added Propecia (now used for 3...

it's interesting people always get so emotional when you talk about the relation between sex, androgens and hairloss. I'm the LAST person who want to promote unproven treaments I''ve been on these combination of treatments with no succes (strong degradation of hair and receding fast): -...

absolutely true. But, correct me if i'm wrong, wasn't finasteride also expected to be tissue specific in the prostate for BPH? For what is worth, my personal experience is that my skin is much oilier when i have more sex, permanent, so i wouldn't be surprised if the sebaneas glands are targets...

Ok, for all those people saying that it's impossible ejaculation has something to do with hairloss: 1. There are people with great hair who have a lot of sex, this does NOT mean there's no correlation between the two 2. it's the same with people without diabetes, for them there is also no...

that would be a hell of a topical, at least one i could believe in and be willing to try long=period... green tea should be good and is solutable in water, but it's the most greasy...

maybe the formula changed....i'd always had incredible stink after aplying minoxidil and spironolactone and looks like it's less of a problem these days...

There's clearly more evidence 17a-estr. should be helpfull as a topical anti-androgen than spironolactone, spironolactone is more expensive and not proven to work topically... i'm ordering this stuff...15 dollar for 100ml in europe....

I've never hear any discussions about this topical. I've scanned a lot of posts on different forums and almost ANYONE who used it had has benefits! strange there's no talk about it. I live in europe and the stuff is dead cheap here. I've heard of spironolactone-users who had no succes on spironolactone but...

Ok guys, i always thought the relation between frequent masturbation/sex and hairloss was nonsense, but since i'm researching this more i think THERE IS a relation. Prolactin levels can be raises for a long period after sex, hair follicels are sensitive to prolactin wich can influence...

This thread is kind of funny, anyway, do you guys know the screenplay and all the dialoges are written by two gay men...?? As you may know gays are much more focused on how man look then woman!! So i think a lot of woma-caracters in the series are not real woman but a steotypical view of...

I've never heard of somebody who had any benefits by using NANO-shampoo... i still have some bottles left but í'm afraid it can increase shedding... i used topical spironolactone twice a day for 6 months without any succes... still a combinational approach is needed when not using finasteride or dutasteride...

i don't see saw palmetto in your list above but it's still in your "regimen"-profile. Are you still using it? I think saw palmetto AND Avodart are plain overkill, altough saw palmetto WITH Propecia makes sense because saw palmetto can mildly block type1 5 alpha reductase (speculation ofcourse...

I remember a post by Bryan that there is proof that spironolactone-cream is much more effective than the liquid. I've also heard minoxidil is more effective when it's in a cream-base. What about Folligen? COuld it be possible the cream/lotion is also much more effective than the liquid? Creams, like...

I'm a bad responder to propecia and i'm a very diffuse thinner. When i hear stories of people who've been using finasteride for over 15 months and are still lossing hair, they almost always are very diffuse thinners.... what's the profile of men who don't respond to propecia??

stop the finasteride, i even had sides on 0.25mg finasteride and was losing my hair on that dose... keep the minoxidil try topical spironolactone 5% from minoxidil.com, this is an anti-androgen. Combine this with home made zix (zinc sulfate+ b6), you can see instructions on...
