    This is a message to everyone who is considering taking finasteride, but is afraid of the side effects:
    People drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take drugs but in the end the reason for their side effects is finasteride of course.
    (don't get me wrong, I am not innocent)
    Our mind is our strongest muscle in the body: If you think you can achieve something in life, you will get it (Law of Attraction), if you think you will get sick, you will get sick. If you think you are using a medication that helps you with your pain, you will feel relief (placebo)
    Just talk to your doctor, try finasteride out and see what happens.
    People here in the comments often talk about their horror experiences, but you never know what their motivation was for writing them (Game-Theory). The reason for their decrease in sex drive could have been anything, maybe they just aged and coincidentally at the same point in time they tried finasteride. Come on. In the US approx. every second person plays lotto at least once in a year and hopes to win the jackpot, with a probability of 1: >100.000.000 but they are all scared to take finasteride because they are scared to be 1 of the 100.

    I started losing hair around 21, and starting taking finasteride at around 22. I noticed reduction of hair loss after a month or two, and even some mild regrowth. At some point, I came off of it for about 6 months and I noticed a lot of shedding during that time. I came back on it and the improvements also returned. No side effects whatsoever. I'm willing to stay on it for life if it means I can even maintain the amount of hair I have right now.

      Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride.
      Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise.
      These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously.

    I see a problem with this. When you block 5AR you will rise E2. As you rise E2 (that is why patients can develop gyno) you will lower LH output as E2 is the main signaling factor on the negative feedback loop to the HPTA. So, this means less T. There are several reports and studies of men becoming either Hypogonadal or having a sustained decreased in serum testosterone after 2 years of Finasteride use. So no, blocking DHT does not increase Test. It might immediately but not in the mid term or long term as it will increase E2.

    • @rajatthakur3058
      @rajatthakur3058 2 роки тому

      I had a similar hypothesis. The blockage of dht causes the usual T increment to saturate to a threshold and then the E occurs to double levels to compensate it cause too much Test can cause aggressiveness etc. But the additional E produced to compensate higher T levels cause the female effects .Gradually when the T are not converted to DHT due to daily intake they accumulate and hence counter compensating E is produced at higher levels which showcase the female symptoms . So , microdosing ( depending upon hair loss ) and or reducing frequency in a week from daily to alternatively will atleast allow the T to convert to DHT for only for eg 2 days in a week or so and that is enough to bring the T progression and compensating E production to stable states .

    Cheers Doctors, I believe I am ready to go back on Finasteride after a 12 year absence. Do you recommend a daily microdose of .5mg? I'm still using minoxidil, but it's losing its efficacy sans finasteride. I hear constantly that any hair gained with minoxidil will be lost once minox is stopped, but if the follicle is still working, is it possible for it to return via finasteride (after initial fallout)? My entire hairline is intact, but there is thinning in the midfrontal region, that has only thinned out in the past 18 months. Is there a high chance of success for regrowth in this area of the scalp? Thanks and Best Regards! - Joey

      What kind of hair loss do you have. I am by no means a doctor. Have you tried natural hair treatment? Ayurvedic herbs do help with hair loss. I have an Instagram page manely_yours47 as well as a website www.manely-yours.ca. There I have a Ayurvedic Stimulating Hair Growth Oil as well as a Herbal Hair Tea. Keep in mind every individual has different experiences. What may work for you may not work for me and vice versa. Disclaimer: I am not promising hair growth however my products may promote it. On my page you will see before and after pics. You can be the judge as to whether you want to give the products a try. My opinion it wouldn't hurt.

    Hello Dr Knudsen and Dr Jayaprakash I just had a question regarding Propecia versus generic Finasteride.
    I know Propecia is much more expensive than generic Finasteride and the actual active ingredient in both is the same. My heart still is inclined to use Propecia. I read that sometimes although the active ingredient is the same, SOMETIMES the BINDING chemicals in the Propecia tablet is of higher quality compared to the generic drug, which CAN mean the results of the Propecia is better than the generic drug?
    I read that a trial was done Propecia had better results than generic Finasteride.
    Would you be able to advise?

      Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride.
      Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise.
      These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously.
      Stay away from Finasteride whatever you do !!!!!

      If beards depend on the DHT levels then you pretty much should know the answer. The enzyme that is getting reduced 2/3 (not DHT) just keeps the DHT levels stable (Not over-producing the enzyme that causes the DHT levels to rise, causing baldness) If the DHT levels are stable then this shouldn't affect the beard at all as your DHT level is not too low. (Even though it does decrease slightly)

My Gyno came back by 2016 and the surgeon said it's probably down to using Propecia (which I only took for 6 weeks) for hair loss. This put me off using any drugs for hairloss. I had surgery for Gyno a second time in 2016 when I was 26 years old. My Gyno has come back again but without taking Propecia or any drugs/vitamins what so ever. Do you think I should give Propecia another go as my Gyno has come back without taking Propecia and hair has been slowly thinning over the last 10 years?

And like you said “once it’s gone it’s gone”...And if there’s no downside except for 1.8% of the population it seems an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. I could see people being grateful they’re not losing any more hair while using finasteride… But no one can tell me they’re happy having already lost 30% or more before they realize they need treatment.

    So if i feel a daily dose of 1mg finasteride for 7 months now has promoted dry eye syndrome. Would i beable to straight away regulate the dose to say, monday, thursday and sunday? Instead of taking a months break. Would that be beneficial?

      Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride.
      Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise.
      These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously.
      Stay away from Finasteride whatever you do !!!!!

    Hi, Doctors.
    Love the channel. Quick question: Can creatine be taken with finasteride? If creatine is known to increase DHT and thus speed up MPB, can finasteride negate these effects? would they be safe to take together?

      I’m wondering the same. As much as they say creatine is widely researched, not many have tested this. So I took it on my own to test. I took a DHT blood test prior to getting on creatine. My DHT level was 15. Once I’ve been on creatine for 1 month I will test for my DHT level Again, and check.

      Start with .5mg 4x a week and get baseline bloodwork. 6 months in get more bloodwork done to see your levels. A year same thing. After a year or two of using the drug go up to 1mg 3x a week.
