Please forgive me, my English is very poor because I come from China.Because of language problems, translators have to be used, so some sentences look strange.
I started to treat hair loss last August. At first, I used minoxidil (for external use) for about two months, and the effect was very good, but I stopped using it because it was too troublesome to use, and then I used finasteride until now.
Finasteride has too many side effects, such as peeling hands, anxiety, no erection in the morning (but it has recovered since March this year), less sperm, and a little mild ed these days. So I plan to stop using finasteride and switch to minoxidil.
There are several questions.
What is the efficiency of using minoxidil alone?
What are the side effects of long-term use of minoxidil?
How many years can you maintain your hair if you only use minoxidil?
My idea is to stick to minoxidil for several years until a new drug for hair loss comes on the market.
Thank you for your reply.
