Should You Try And Hold Off From Taking finasteride For As Long As Possible?

Just say your starting to thin/bald at 22-23 is it worth waiting till your 25+ to start treatment as the anti androgens may affect your development?

For example, i'm 23 (24 next year) and my hairline is definitely starting to thin, but I'm trying to hold off from taking finasteride for as long as i can. is this a good idea?

It's probly best to get on it early to save the maximum amount of hair.

23 is plenty late to start , at least in my opinion. I started it at 18 because I knew to me the risk was worth it.

I take 1mg every day. Honestly aides are very rare. The first week on it I had physiological sides but then I realized it was in my head. Now I feel good as ever ( I'm still on it, coming up on a year)

Haven't had any regrowth though.
