Need advice and opinion...please

[garfield3]

I'm 31 and have been really worried about my hair possibly thinning. My wife says its not (but she may be sugar-coating). My mother-in-law told her the other day it looked like i was losing my hair in back. I'm posting a few pics. Any advice? Can I do anything to help without resorting to the stronger drugs? also - I JUST got my hair cut.

its definitely not your same hair from when you were a teen but its not too bad for a 31 year old. youre already married id be fine with accepting thinning hair. id bet youve been gradually losing hair for a while and now notice it when you got a haircut. its really not a big deal youll have your hair until your 40s probably. unfortunately theres not a whole lot you could do except for minoxidil and finasteride

Tell your mother in law to mind her f*king business. Damn women would have an aneurysm if we pointed out their flaws. It looks fine. I wouldn't even touch minoxidil at this point. Monitor it and if its worse in a few months, then use minoxidil.

Hey man! Looks like some minor thinning there, start using finasteride every day and don't even bother with minoxidil. You will probably keep what you got and regain some ground You are lucky to have that head of hair at 31!

Thanks guys. I've been freaked out and self-conscious all day.

Are there side effects to finasteride???

some people have sides most commonly ed or decreased libido but its not common. i think a lot of it is just mental. i started finasteride a couple of weeks ago and thought for sure id get sides since before starting finasteride just thinking about it made my penis feel dead and it was a little weird the first few days but completely fine now. i think if people didnt know about the sides before taking it there would be a lot less cases
