    Is male pattern baldness always gradual, or can it happen rapidly?

    I had a few comments from people about thinning back in 2012, but couldn't see anything myself, then in the space of about 2 months last year I shed like crazy, 5-10 hairs on my hand every time I touched my head. Lost a ****load of density to the point it's now too thin over about 75% of the top...

    Is it too late for Propecia?

    Hi guys, just thought I'd update this. had some personal problems around feb/march and my regime suffered so I got back on it around the end of March and have been consistent since. Picture from today: Hair is more grown out obviously, but not a lot of change thus far, although my girlfriend...

    Anybody experienced anything like this? - finasteride

    http://www.ehealthme.com/ds/propecia/ibs After a little research it appears the symptoms I've had match with IBS which is a very rare side effect of finasteride (25 out of 4,000 odd here). The half life of finasteride is about 4 days isn't it? I'm going to try coming off it for a week and see if it clears up...

Interestingly he doesn't have the huge gym muscles or granite jaw many in here...

    My hair strengthening Journey began June 2014

    Looking good man. What you're saying re the light is probably true as the area that looks balding at the back in your new shots is different to where your crown loss was in the previous pics. Also, is it just the pics or has your hair in general gotten darker? I note a lot of people's seems to...

    Anybody experienced anything like this? - finasteride

    I've been on brand name propecia for about 5 weeks now. Last couple of weeks I've found myself waking up in the mornings with an irritable stomach, occasionally nausea, and the need to immediately evacuate my bowels (which is less firm than previously). This subsides after an hour or so...

    20 year old diffuse thinning, Need adivce/will start today with treatment

    Hi Traangas, I'd be interested to see the pictures. You have/had a similar loss patter to me, although I think I caught mine earlier. I'm just over a month into finasteride and desperately hoping mine will thicken up asap

    Is it too late for Propecia?

    Just thought I'd stick in a quick update as I'm around the one month mark. No sides as far as I can tell, the consistency of my **** has been a lot less solid the last week or so but I doubt that's linked. No shedding and no noticeable loss, I've grown my hair out to about 5mm which actually...

    25 years old, considering propecia---objective feedback please

    Good on you Sports Fan. I had a similar period of real uncertainty before I started. I'm in my 4th week now and have noticed I find it slightly harder to get aroused, but not enough that it's any kind of issue, and am aware even that may be wholly or partly psychological. I'm not losing any hair...

    First Day on finasteride / Normal sides?

    Agree with the others, it's all in your head. Although that being said, I've been on finasteride about 15 days now and the only sides I experienced thus far were the first couple of days (bit of a dull ache in the balls)

    25 years old, considering propecia---objective feedback please

    I'll try and pop in here over the next couple of months and keep you updated. Gyno is the major worry for me too, especially as a slim guy, what finally swung it for me was a video on youtube where a guy basically said that in almost every case of 'permanent sides' he'd heard of, the guys had...

    25 years old, considering propecia---objective feedback please

    I'm 26 and had similar concerns to you, took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and started on propecia before it's too late. I've got around 90 pills as a tester and will continue if I don't get side effects. Had a slight dull ache in my balls which came and went for the first couple of days, but...

    Is it too late for Propecia?

    I'm not actually currently losing any as far as I can tell. I shed like mad over a month or so in the summer (resulting in the losses seen in my picture above) and then it just appears to have halted as far as I can tell. Although I buzzed my hair a little after it appeared to stop so it may...
