#hairloss #hairlossproblems #finasteride
Just slowing down hair loss is completely unsatisfactory for most people and just not good enough. It's not really a win to still be losing your hair just less aggressively. The goal is to not lose hair and regains some that was lost.
Agree 👍
there is no such thing as stopping hairloss. With finasteride, you just block the most potent androgen in your body (DHT). You have plenty other androgens that are still making your hair fall out. Especially testosterone since it rises from the lack of DHT. You can only slow it down, never stop it. Females have the same hairloss too, just at such a slow rate that nobody ever notices, even in old women they only lost so little hair that it doesnt look like they have hairloss.
If the goal is not to lose any hair then that's a cure which probably will never happen.
@@utrippin7486 There should be other ways too to stop hairloss whether it is by DHT or other causes we all know if we loss some 100 or so hair it is not considered as hairloss and we are loosing for a very long period of time nobody says that's hairloss we got worried when we notice some thinning area where we see same visibly area with no hair which was not there before.
@@utrippin7486 This isn’t true. DHT isn’t the most potent androgen on a quantitative scale. It’s qualitatively different in nature to other androgens. There is also no good evidence that other androgens cause hair loss. That’s why people with a genetic 5 alpha reductase enzyme show no signs of hair loss. Also it’s absolutely not true that you can only slow it down. Many people can fully prevent hair loss with treatment and even regrow hair to be better than their starting point.
Ive been on finasteride for over 3 years! I never really had that much hairloss at 53 but have noticed hair regrowth in hairline! I also use minoxidil, derma rolla. Lazer cap and nizoral. And having good results. Also try to avoid stress, keep fit and healthy diet helps.
Do you think your hairline regrowth is more due to minoxidil or finasteride? Do you have any side effects from finasteride?
how much does a roller hurt? that's the only thing keeping me from implementing it hahaha
@@TruthAndReconciliationdoesn't even hurt. A dermastamp is better
@@idontsaythenword Where did you get your dermastamp? I’ve been looking for an adjustable one online but all the popular websites seem to sell shoddy ones that look like they’re break in a week
Fenasteride dosage ?
2023 and we still don't have a cure for it. It's a simulation
They can send people to mars but not cure baldness
that's why I went straight for dutasteride🙁
I thought it's normal and part of the effect while using finasteride or we call it shedding? If so, how many months will shed the hair? Please enlighten me
Topical fenestride vs oral ? Which has better results
topical does not work
Oral

I use dutasteride and it works pretty well no sides effects after one year 🤍
Frequency/week and dosage?
@@ukidding 0,5 mg per day, 7 days plus minoxidil one application per day
Twice or thrice a week of .5mg dosage will work wonders
I was on it for nearly two years before it really fucked me up… the symptoms are not worth the debilitating issues that come with simply wanting to keep your hair. I would strongly recommend you stop ASAP.
@@CultgentlemanJackyou’re on what now ?
6 years on 1mg Fin daily; two years using Minoxidil; wash hair with Regenepure DR twice a week. I'm stable, slowly regaining hair, and results have been better since I reduced Min use to once a day - twice seemed to be overkill.
Do you have to wash minoxidil out everyday with shampoo ?
@@roberta6804 - I don’t. I have long hair and only wash it twice a week.
If still loosing hair on finasteride, go up to 1mg a day or switch to dutasteride. Period.
I'm on dutasterid for 3 months now the shedding is aggressive how long does it take to stop the shedding?
@@hasan6390 like me I’m using Dutasteraid for three months and my hair still fall out , around 150 hair per day , I don’t know what I should do , some people said that is normal when u starting a medicine like dutasteraid specifically when u switching from finasteraide to Dustasetride
@@hasan6390i have restarted finasteride after a gap 3 months and hairfall has increased
@@hasan6390I took this dutasteride medicine for four months
I did not notice any difference in the first month, not much, it may have been a subtle difference
In the second month, it was like magic. My hair had been falling for the last ten years. For the first time, it happened that my hair stopped falling. I would rub my hair for hours but not even a single hair would fall. When I would bathe, I was surprised and not even a single hair would fall. And most importantly, a change started coming in my hair. This change was so great that my baldness started to disappear.
3rd month, in this month my hair started falling again to some extent
4th month, my hair started falling again, the baldness that was gone started to look lighter.
=-:- Then I thought that the medicine is not showing any effect or it will not last long and I stopped taking the medicine. I was not financially capable of taking the medicine.
But it has been 13 months since I stopped this medicine. Within 4 months of stopping the medicine, I lost so much hair that it was more than the hair I had before starting the medicine. 13 months have passed and I have become completely bald, but I am thinking of taking this medicine again for a year 🥲
Any side-effects @@hasan6390
I've been taking 1mg of Finasteride daily for almost a year and I've been loosing hair at the same rateas before, arguably faster.
Is it normal to only see effects after a year?
Year that too long
Have you checked your vitamin d and b12 deficiency?
@@MyPlanet123 I haven't. Are they associated with hair loss?
@@Madaaguu yes bro, deficiency of vitamin d and b12 causes heavy hair fall. Go to near by clinic, have a thyroid test, vitamin d and b12 test to know whether do you have any deficiency in them
How is your hair now bro ?
Doctor what do you mean by whether the gut absorbs finasteride well or not?
I have one question: my hair loss slowed, is not aggressive anymore. But what I noticed is 1) I lose less hair. 2) I have less density on temples but the hairs are thicker there than before. 3) I lose different hairs now. Before I was losing thin hairs, now I lose just thick hairs. Is it this a form of stabilization?
How long did you started with finastride?
@@antonioashkar8895 7 months ago
Dutasteride is way to go right
One of the main thing about finastride is that it slows down the progression but is not an absolute stopping agent, i don't think there is any thing available on the face of the earth which can completely stop the progression of the hairloss and it's quite upsetting we humans discovered the cure of even a deadliest diseases like cancer but have failed to find the solution of hairloss.
It is because genetic hairloss isn't viewed as sincerely important, and is mostly seen as an aesthetic concern by the vast majority of people. However, I personally argue that hairloss is interlinked with mental health woes, and, therefore, should be taken seriously.
Dutasteride is the next stop.
Maybe because hairloss is not important for health compare to réal diseases ??? 🤦🤦🤦
Doctors and pharmaceutical company knows that but they will not share it 😂 money is money 🤑
Need more talk about the shedding. Thanks for the video.
i feel like you are right. I think I am shedding at 6 months in, but I cant find much info on if thats normal or not....any tips?
@@jamesbrickner5159 I’m at 7 months and still shedding. It’s starting to scare me. Everyone I’ve left messages with said to stay the course. They say that they’re pushing old hairs out to bring in new stronger ones. How bad is your shedding??
@@jamesbrickner5159 I’m at almost 7 months and still shedding. I’ve been told to stay the course. 🙏. Has yours slowed down at all??
@@trumpnation4198 nah i ordered minoxidil and I think im going to take that plunge in conjunction with the finasteride
@@trumpnation4198 starting minoxidil tonight
I switched from finasteride to dutasteride after one year of finasteride and now I’m on dutasteride for 5 months, I checked about the vitamins and everything is good but still this moment everyday Im losing around 70 -80 hair per day I don’t know why ? Specially when I take a shower and brush my hair around 40 hair fall out , honestly I don’t know if this is normal or not ? Some people said the first few months the side effect of Dutastiraid can increase hair shedding and google say the same thing but when this shedding can stop ? Anyone like me guys ?
Same😢 issue
How someone measure amount of hair loss? I do care about my hair specially after growing them up and unlike short hair, long hair are much easier to spot and i think it gives me false illusion of losing hair and stress. So is there any way to measure or track amount of hair you lost over period of time? Also is it okay you get so many drop hair after bath when combing damp hair?
Thanks
i’ve heard it’s not good to comb wet hair
you did not mention finasteride shedding? Something that usually happens in the first months? I was curious about more info on this...

I think when we masturbate we got some escalation in the level of testosterone in our body and if the testosterone level is high then there is a good probability for the high level of DHT as it only converts through testosterone and high testosterone level can lead the high level of DHT too and some might argue with that it is a very short time span escalation in the testosterone level but what about those who are masturbating daily for 2 times for 5 or 6 years these short span of time of high testosterone level may to lead high level of testosteron, it might not attacking our hair with high power but it is attacking with law level of high testosterone and in a long period of time we would able to see small attacks in a long run have destroyed a lot
Please answe doc about your point of view.
i went from finasteride to dutasteride and it made my hairloss worse
From what I've seen personally, that seems to be rather common.
Could be shedding phase that can be prolonged by dutasteride than finasteride. I do say keep going
It's just a shed. Dutasteride doesn't make hairloss worse .
@@exactly1176 my hair is so much worse after a year
Update please
Hi, i would like to grow a beard & i completely have zero hair on my face😅. Can you please help me choose between Minoxidil 5% & Redensyl for beard growth. Which one is better?
Minoxidil
Been on dut for a year, hairloss has been worse than ever
Update
Bro please update
I have question do those one pill Minoxidil and Fin all in one work?
Trust me bro don’t take this poison PFS is real and it’s fucked me up.. got every symptom plus it’s affected my kidneys. I’m in the process of seeing doctors trust me bro stay away from this shit. It’s not worth the risk there not being totally honest about the true effects. There are plenty of people sharing there stories on you tube and there debilitating battle with PFS. Do your self a favour and just shave your head and be happy this drug is truly poison… I took these drugs for nearly two years before the symptoms started.. it starts with an eye twitch then come the kitchen sink of symptoms.
Doc could you please do a video on, if finasteride associated with melasma?
On propecia for 9 months. I don’t lose any long hairs, I have long hair. I just lose these short miniaturized hairs all the time. Why???
Those are the hairs u should be worrying about. Long hair is healthy. Short hair is at the end of its life
I'am like you but on month 7
Thank you very much Dr Vikram. Its really informative. Appreciate your videos. It gives a lot of insight.
Hello Vikram, thank you for all your videos. They are my primary and invaluable source of knowledge.
Is this an interesting topic for you to make a video about?
Let's gather the premises/facts:
1) minoxidil accelerates the hair growth cycle
2) each hair follicle has a predetermined number of cycles.
And now comes the question.
Does using minoxidil result in a faster "wear and tear" of hair follicles?
Does this apply only to miniaturized follicles, or does it also apply to follicles that are resistant/less susceptible to androgenic alopecia?
ive on topical finastride and 10% minoxidil solution and hair vitamin tablets for last ten months, i regained lots of my hair in the first six months and most of my baldness was gone, then my doctor changed my medication to similar products but of different company.. ive lost a lot of my hair in the past three-four months and my baldness is again visible and while im still on the same medication, i started applying the same older medication that helped me in the first six months to regrow my hair and its been about a month but i see no improvement in my hairloss anymore, its been getting worse, can someone help?
Update?
@@んムムÐタモモ nope nothing worked, the doctor prescribed me to go for prp so thats what ive been up with, its working wonders for me, ive had one session right now and the next will be like 10 days from now but most of my hair fall stopped literally the next day after getting prp for the first time.
Cost bro of prp?@@theatrereactionist7591
Bro 😢 tell me your current situation
Im on finasteride for 1months, after 3days my hairloss boosted massively. Now im on my way going bald. Before finasteride i had much more hair.
Please sir is it normal for finasteride?
Yes, your hair will grow thicker and stronger after 3-6 months. It means finasteride is working for you.
Thank you for these videos! I have a quick question though:
Does taking Finasteride impact muscle growth in any way? Will I lose muscle mass if I take it?
No, your testosterone level will not be affected, if anything, it grows higher, but still within a healthy range.
@@allenc4731 is it the same for dutasteride?
Supposedly your testosterone will increase 10%
No but it may affect your libido
I have been taking fin for 6 months and still loosing lot of hair? Why is that?
What if it sped up After 2 years?
Hi, I have been taking finasteride for almost a year now 3mg per week. The only hairs that I am losing is in the shower and it is between 100-180 hairs per day, the days that I am shampooing my hair are the once that reach the 180 hairs. In my pillow and in my day I don’t notice any other hairs and I am really looking for them. I am loosing the same number of hairs now as before starting finasteride. I think the hairs that I am loosing and noticing in the showers might be a little thicker than before finasteride.
Now I am not sure if finasteride is working for me or not and if I should increase the dosage or even try dutasteride. What I have heard and read is that Dutasteride blocks 99% of DHT while Finasteride blocks only around 80%. Furthermore the topic I red and seen specified that there are 2 types of dht and only the type 1 affects hair loss which finasteride covers it al in the 80% that blocks.
Anyone here that knows anything I would really appreciate it,
Thanks
You should go to a youtube channel called Haircafe. He is very knowledgeable in this topic. Watch a few of his videos and itll put your mind at ease.

Try eating natural diet too like carrots and Indian gooseberry
so much empty talk...
Is it still normal to lose hair after 3 months of finasteride? In my first 3 months I noticed a significant increase in my hair volume and my hair stopped shedding but after 3 months I started to notice that I've been shedding a lot and it concerns me :(
Sounds like biotin diffeciency take biotin for 3 months
@@hasan6390Thank you! I just made a research regarding this, on what causes difficiency in vitamin B, and found out that frequent drinking is one of the cause. Made me remember that during on my 3rd month, I've been hanging out and drinking with my friends, weekly.
@@hasan6390 Brooo thank you! I was able to stitch things out after doing some research and 80% certain that I do need biotin supplements
I've been on Fin for 2.5 years with Minoxidil and Nizoral. It's slowed down yes but they're still falling off. My dosage was 1mg three times a week for the first 1.5 years but then the side effects got really unbearable, so I reduced it to 2mg/week, but then the hair falling rate got a little faster and side effects got better. Rn I'm at 0.5mg 6 times a week, which i think deals with the side effects a little better but hairs still going

I have been using minoxidil for more than two months.Then I have got new hair growing and now my new hair follicle is falling?
What mistake have I done for this case.
Dr,am working now please,help me
Minoxidil alone with not stop or prevent hair loss you need to get finestride because what causes hair loss is a hormone called dht and it attacks the hair follicles killing them all minoxidil does is provide blood flow to the follicle and prolongs the androgen fase
Bro how is your hairs right now is it ok or not?
Would sublingual administration of finasteride make any difference?

Why Andrologist and Urologist are (usually) against the use of finasteride for hair loss ? This is what makes me reluctant on the use of finasteride
I don't think that should be the case, after all they regularly prescribe Propecia (5mg Finasteride) to patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia
They are reluctant because it’s meant for the prostate. Hair maintenance is only a byproduct but side effects are very real with it
My gastroenterologist told me that it was fine to take it.
So if finasteride dont work oral it can work topical?
No
mind and body
I’ve been on finasteride for one year and 2 months everything seems working as it should, but I did a mistake and I stopped finasteride for only 3 days last September! But my hair till now is falling and it’s greasy with no dimension. I didn’t know that 3 days could do damage like this 😢😢😢
Bro watch more videos from them, it stays in the scalp for at least 20 days so it was probably something else like high stress or similar.
Hope it gets better man
Don't Worry Just Treat your scalp well make sure there is no inflamatìon or dandruff use sulphate free shampoo to tacke oily hair
3 days is nothing for finesteride. I don't know about the half-life of the chemical, but when I stopped topical finesteride I experienced hair loss only after like 3 months after. So I'm thinking the effect stays in your scalp long after you stop.
Would be nice if you got into more detail. Like why the gut would have a hard time absorbing the medication and solutions.
When I was still in nw2, I took finasteride one mg per day for 5 months the year before last, and my hair still fell out at 90-110 strands per day. So I stopped taking finasteride for 8 months. I discovered that my hair was about to turn into nw3, so I started taking 0.5 mg of dutasteride a day. Today is my fortieth day of taking Dutasteride, and my hair loss remains at 100-130 hairs per day. My hair is progressing towards nw4. My hair follicles are getting smaller and smaller. If I continue to lose more than 100 hairs a day after 5 months, I will stop using Dutasteride.
Hey listen to me. Dutasteride is the strongest hairloss drug there is. It takes TIME sometimes over a year to see progress. 5 months is not enough, do not give up!!! Add minoxidil and do it for 1 year with dutasteride!!! Do not count hairs, wear a hat if you need to and take care of your body
Any progress after dutasteride???

If I have gut issues, then how would I increase the efficay of finasteride?
Question. If someone has success regrowing hair on Topical Minoxidil and Finasteride, could they then remove minoxidil from thier routine and maintain that regrown hair or would Finasteride alone not be enough to maintain those gains?
That is not a question anyone can really answer. First one would need to know if it was Finasteride or Minoxidil that was successfully regrowing hair...or both?
If I had to choose one to keep taking, I'd choose Finasteride.
Finasteride and minoxidil work independently through separate mechanisms so one cannot substitute for the other. Where finasteride limits the DHT that reaches your hair follicles and thus curbs hair loss over time, minoxidil supercharges the follicles so they stay in their anagen (growth) phrase longer. Cutting off minoxidil will result in you losing the hairs you regrew with it, likewise cutting finasteride will mean DHT continues to hurt your hair follicles until even the minoxidil regrown hairs will fall out
No
Has anybody noticed any increased thinning since they took a covid jab?
No
Yes!!!!
Yeah... My hair loss became more aggressive after getting vaxxed
I took dutasteride and topical minoxidil for a couple of years and never got any improvement and I gave up. I want to start again, but I am not sure if I should try finasteride instead?
If these medication didnt worked, then its more likely cause by other factors rather than androgenetic alopecia such as nutrition deficiencies that can mimic male pattern hairloss. Check your nutrition level and see whats missing. That could be case
@@ayadhussin6771 Yes, I have been thinking about this, as I don't have male pattern baldness - I have diffuse thinning all over, but I have a varied and healthy diet. I don't know what to do.

I have a question that is bothering me..
"Finasteride has long been linked to high-grade prostate cancer", what is your opinion ? This is very scary.. and I think this is very disturbing..
That's the only thing stopping me from trying medication.
And believe me... I am a person who has been doing everything possible for ten years, including a hair transplant (once), but for a satisfactory result I need more grafts..
I know...if I start this drug I will keep the existing hair for a few years (and get some hair back that is not depleted by DHT)
High-grade prostate cancer ? This is biggest question.
What is your opinion.
Тhank you!!!
I believe the association is not causal, and if I recall correctly it is the case that finasteride makes it easier to diagnose this type of cancer, meaning that finasteride is associated with recorded cases of the cancer, but is not the cause of it.
Any risk is too much of a risk for something cosmetic
