NEWBIE STRESSING OUT

[mynameisnot3737]

ok I'm male and in my very early 20s. I don't really know if I have this problem, but I'm sort of stressing over it since it's a possibility. my issue is that when I look into the mirror I can see through my hair a little. Now my hair line seems fine. My problem is that I think I am losing my haircount on the overall top of my head; not the vertex/crown but the general top of my head. Also I can't really come anywhere close to growing a beard of substantial facial hair so I don't know if its necessarily DHT; so I'm not on any real treatment...aside from Centrum/multi vitamins.

As far as genetics go, both my parents do have hairloss (possible stress?). But one grand parent also had absolutely terrific hair.

On my side, I think I've always been able to see into my hair to a minor degree. As I said

On the NORWOOD SCALE, my assessment/paranoia (Hopeful its just paranoia) is that I might have either 2A or 5A.

Just looking for some advice, since I really am stressing over this.

Don't really know what either info to give you guys; but I really do need the advice. Is it obvious I'm worried?


PS I also noticed a post titled PENIS OR HAIR...I choose to keep the hair...given the either/or choice. I'd rather have a great head of hair and not be able to get the Penis up (have girls think I'm gay or hard to get...these days both work wonder with female psychi).

NOTICED SOME SPELLING MISTAKES :

As far as genetics go, both my parents do have hairloss (possible stress?). But one grand parent also had absolutely terrific hair.

A possible saving grace is that, I think I've always been able to see into my hair to a minor degree.

On the NORWOOD SCALE, my assessment/paranoia (Hopeful its just paranoia) is that I might have either 2A or 5A.

hi, look no need to worry for you, let me tell u why -

1) you can keep your existing hair for 5-7 years with propecia

2) after say 5-7 years you can get a hair transplant and that will last another 5 years, but you might need 2 procedures.

So you should be ok for another 10 years at least, but if things go well then you should be fine for more 15 years.

You have anxiety related to "measuring your hair loss, and evaluating your current hair status" and you need to reduce that to a normal level.

Hmm, I don´t think growing a bears has anything to do with male pattern baldness. Maybe post a pic with wet hair then we might give a better advice for your situation. If not, then go and see doctor about your hairloss.

And it isn´t said that Propecia stops working for you after a few years. It works different for everyone, for me it didn´t stop my hairloss at all, though you are an ideal candidate for it since you have no hairline recession,

could a low density (hair wise) be misconstrued as hairloss? I've never really had thick hair on the top of my head...so basically is it possible to have a low hair density on the tope and avg. density on the side and back?
