Hairlosstalk Is A Shill For Finasteride

Like I said, some of the autists here only care about their hair and not about their sexual and cognitive health.

Well and for many the psychological toll of losing your hair has a worse impact on your well being than the drug itself. You have to be willing to accept going bald and having that be a part of your identity. And having a sense of humor about it.

Depends. When you're healthy and you're losing your hair you think hair is the most important thing in the world. Then you get on fina and destroys your libido, etc.

People change their mind

Or the more common scenario is that people get on finasteride, it saves their hair, and they live happily ever after.

I know you want to believe fina and other hormonal treatments are safe for years and years. Because everyone knows long term hormonal treatments only affect your hair. Of course.

But we had this discussion many times. Agree to disagree.

Ten year studies of hundreds of men don't lie.

If you are on this site, then you consider hairloss is worse than taking finasteride or other treatments. That's just how it is.

Sure, but you're just moving the goalposts now by adding 'or other treatments'. There's plenty of people here looking for treatments that preferably don't involve finasteride. It's not the only way to go about fighting hair loss (albeit obviously the most effective way), and for some the risk that finasteride carries (whatever that may be), may not be worth it.

Quite frankly my last hope is liposomal dutasteride.

By "other treatments" i meant dutasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, HRT (yes), and just about anything that can be considered "taking actions".



I do agree about plenty of people here seeking alternatives to finasteride, but most were on finasteride prior to that, and they got sides, which is why they are seeking a different approach. It's the first line of attack recommended by many doctors and hair specialists for a reason.

Finasteride is the best in the world at what it does.
Wish there was a way to make it go less systemic. f*****g sucks I can't block systemic 5AR as in the future I will have adult acne and a lot of sebum

It's only really promoted so much because it is pretty much the only thing which reliably works. I tried it and got sides, which is why I'm here.

Been on for it 11 months and have had pretty good results and no perceivable side effects. So I'm good with it.

There are ways like taking it topically, and mixing it with horse semen.

You have the choice between the plague (baldness) and cholera (finasteride).

I personally associate hair loss baldness with pure ugliness and the sign of miserable genes.

Don't give me Jason statham! This ugly bird plays like all the eggheads in bad B movies in Hollywood. Most of the time, however, bald heads in Hollywood are villains, lunatics or pedophiles. A reflection of society.

If baldness is so natural, why is it so extremely rare in men under 50?

Baldness for me stands for the decay and finiteness of the body and being, so I would not have a problem with 60 or 70 years to suffer from baldness. But my gentlemen not in their 20s, 30s, 40s. They are the best years of life.

My circle of friends and acquaintances is very large. I have exactly 2 bald men in my environment. All other men have full hair. Look around you how few men in their best years suffer from hair loss. It is an absolute minority.

I had the choice of wiping the plague (bald head) or cholera (finasteride).

I chose cholera.

The consequences:

My hair status has stabilized, but I am far from having full hair.

Hairdressing my hair still takes 1 hour a day.

The price I have to pay for it:

Libido is much worse than before
Ejaculation quantity has been massively reduced 80-90%
The desire for women has noticeably decreased.

These are just the typical Finasteride side effects. It's not surprising:

The strongest male hormone is artificially reduced by 70-90%. If you think DHT is a useless hormone, you're out of your mind.

Finasteride remains an illusion, just as a hairpiece is an illusion. Why? Once finasteride is discontinued, all your hair will fall out. At an incredible rate.

It isn't that unusual in men under 50. I am in my thirties and in my circle of friends, I know at least 10 who are either balding or bald. These range from men aged from around 25-55.

The sexual sides are somewhat tolerable, especially if hair loss is taking a toll on your social life. On the other hand the mental sides aren't tolerable, as you can't ignore them

Why is this discussion bullshit, and why would hair loss necessarily be worse? For you maybe. We know AR-inhibitors are bad, but the question is how bad. People should be able to make an informed decision about the risks involved, but it seems to me the risks are still far from clear. Mind you, I don't believe finasteride is literal poison, I'm sure plenty of people can tolerate it without side effects. But I don't think the studies are giving us the full picture either. We already know Merck lied and withheld information. As far as the independent studies are concerned, who knows. But a lot it just doesn't add up and I think there's value in discussing it as new studies and information come to light.
I fully agree with you. The bullshit am referring to is OP's claim people here are trying to advertise finasteride and "work for merck".
Like I said, some of the autists here only care about their hair and not about their sexual and cognitive health.
Thats the response when someone is not fully aware of the importance of dead cells on their heads.

On the other hand, DHT is the easiest and the most obvious circle to get rid of. It's very dumb to think that every single hormone in our bodies is beneficial but DHT isn't, and, uh what a coincidence! It causes hair loss! Androgen blocking will have consequences now and in the future. I blame the dumb scientists for not figuring out something for it.
