yes that is the phase I am at you. I’m only younger so it’s a weird situation. On one side I don’t want to lose my hair now but on the other hand not being able to get an erection does not sound good, as you said
I absolutely think the onset age of hair loss is a major detail that changes the whole equation. Had I been 15 year younger, I'd probably jump on Finasteride because back then the pressure of looking a certain way was the law of the land. Now, heading towards my 40s, is a but different. I would still like the hair as it's been such a major component of my looks throughout my life. But it seems like these days even a low 2% chance of having my sexual or otherwise overall wellbeing affected doesn't seem to make it worth pursuing this avenue. At this point it seems to me that Finasteride (or duta) would be the only 'true' way to slow down hair loss. The rest of the "big 3" are complentary to Fina. I really do believe that Fina is the most efficient way to tackle hair loss. But at least for now I am not willing to risk ending up lamenting about my dick going limp or nit being aroused at the thought of women. Don't get me wrong, I really do value and appreciate what hair can do to one's look. But a mop upstairs and a noodle downstairs is not my kind of solution.
Actually as someone that read through 10+ years of threads on this forum, I must say it's not really as you say. Many if the users who debated sides either moved one, got tired or found different platforms, in part due to the toxicity of other users who needed to sh*t and puss on everyone who stated to have sides so that they can continue their Fina journey without having their bubble burst. Even though I am not a proponent of altering your hormonal profile (due to obvious reasons) I still do think that is the most efficient treatment against classic male pattern baldness. But it does not work for all. I believe the official number puts ut at about 80% success rate. Even if you cut it down to 50...still is much more than every other BS out there.
okay thanks !
does taking lower doses entail the same risk? probably not much of a difference
thanks for your response, I am coming to the conclusion that it probably isn’t worth the risk. Have you tried novaldex and proviron to boost your dht. I have heard that it has helped people with pfs but obviously I am no specialist. Out of curiosity, do you believe that the percentage that get hit with side effects really is 2-6% or a much larger percentage?
How long ago did u start?
Does anybody know what percentage of people get permanent sides? Is it close to 0.5%
interesting thanks for the info
