Propecia Stress And Male Pattern Baldness

[michel sapin]

Hey guys , given the fact that i have male pattern baldness at the hairline , and that i stress on a daily basis about this .
I ve got OCD about my hairline and i check it all the time .
Is it possible to lose more hair than average on dutasteride and minoxidil if you are under constant stress ?
Could it make the treatment useless or accelerate male pattern baldness ( i am not talking about telogen effuvium , but real male pattern baldness ) ?

I think there is no person whose hair is thinning who is not under stress and does not check his hair with a certain frequency.
I don't think it will affect your hair loss unless you start touching your hair too often and stressing it by tearing it and stuff.

thanks for your help roberto . Just an off topic question : do you know if all the unwanted body hair cause by minoxidil fall after its discontinuation ?

The leaflet does not say specifically. It just says that if you stop minoxidil you will lose minoxidil hair, without specifying if the "side effect" hair is included in this set.
I don't see why not, from a logical standpoint. If hair on head falls when you stop minoxidil, why shouldn't body hair?
