On finasteride & R Foam - Went To an Endocrinologist

[MARTINSTERN]

ive been on Finpecia 1mg a day for around 250 days

and been on rogaine foam once a day since jan 19,

i havent had any real side effects from finasteride,

my hair loss has Definitely slowed down, to very little,

and since rogaine i see some little hairs around my hairline.

anyway i went to an endocrinologist, to get tested to see if my hormone levels changed at all, from the finasteride,

ill post the results when i get them.

im still hoping for regrowth.

btw does anyone know if rogaine liquid is known to be better than foam?

Do you have hormonal workups from before starting on finasteride to compare?

Well that's pretty unhelpfully broad.

lol, yeah. Martinstern, you need to compare the exact values.
Do you have any side effects?

Regarding Rogaine, more people seem to have faith in the liquid version.

 

[MARTINSTERN]

ok so yeah my doctor just left a message saying everything he checked is normal and fine,

but he didnt give me details,

im going to call him for specifics, but he did compare all my test results against results i took before i started finasteride.

 

[Ende]

Yeah, ask him for specific numbers. Normal range is from 300 - 900 ng/dl or something like that - alternatively 8 - 35 nmol/l.
