@@EE12345 i probably have a little less hair than i had when i started but i would have been completely bald years ago without it. I noticed severe shedding when i was 15.
I’m fascinated by the fact that these 2 men both don’t have hairloss and made it their job. I remember 2 years ago when i had a full head of hair that i didn’t even notice it on other people if they were losing their hair at all. Never even thought about it.
The world is STARVING for high-quality, informative, fact driven and, quite frankly, entertaining content like this. Its is such a relief to hear two experts such as yourselves illuminate the topic. THANK YOU!! (I'll be copying and pasting this comment onto all the videos I watch of yours because it's nothing short of the truth)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart... I STARTED TAKING FINASTERIDE because of your TRUTHFUL content. 6 weeks IN no sides, slight shedding which means it's working. After noticing that it's not even CLOSE to being dangerous, three of my friends are now on it after talking to their physicians!
YESS! I started 14 days ago. I had some sides and documented the first 14 days. Just posted the video. I believe my body got used to the drug and the sides got less and less. Then I dropped the dose slightly from 1mg 3x/wk to 0.0mg 5x/wk and so far it's all good.
Im so happy I came across this channel. I'm 30 yrs old. I started using Minoxidil in January this year, and then after watching this video started Finasteride in March, following the 3 times a week process. Needless to say for me, the results have been absolutely amazing! I was expecting it not to get worse and stay the same, however, after 6 months I've actually gained so much hair already! It's given me so much confidence! I made a video about my experience so far and can't wait to see what my hair is like in a years time!
The most professional duo in Hair Loss Treatment, a subject you know they have experience in. Please keep this going guys you have great expertise and I trust both of you without even knowing you. (I generally don't just trust easily like this haha)
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 !!!!!
Bro, there are literally hundreds of guys on reddit who have had good results without any side effects. I haven't seen as many guys complaining about the side effects though. You are just fear mongering.
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.
If i take finasteride - lets say for 5 years. And than i quit. Will my hairloss than be even faster? Is the hairloss than quickly on the same Level like i would have never been taken finasteride?
@@rodrigobasoaltoc.1743 Bullshit thats fake news. After stopping propecia you will not lose all hairs. You will go to the point before you have started treatment.
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 taking finasteride about 3 months ago and i'm still microdosing it. Now i'm shedding and i know it's a normal part of the process but still it puts doubts in my mind about the effectivenes of the drug... Everytime i get doubtful i watch some of your videos again and they really help to get me reassured. I want to thank both of you for this information that you're putting out for free because without you i still wouldn't be on finasteride :)
When I was shedding I was losing maybe 50-70 hairs a day. But then my hair stabilized and I’m glad I stuck to it. On my 4th month now and my hair is denser and no longer shedding. Guys, don’t get discouraged. Pop it daily and give it ATLEAST 6 months.
This video is really helpful and a true credit to the dedication and commitment you both have for preventing hair loss in men. I’ve decided to try Finasteride after previously being put off, however I was concerned to read that it has caused Gynecomastia in a minority of men. I already suffer with this (mild) and wondered if either of you have seen this side effect in your patients?
Starting on Finasteride today after getting prescription from my GP. Will be taking it @ 1mg Tues, Thurs, Saturday. Wish me luck I will keep you all informed :) Will be patient and wait for 4-6 months margin.
@@ballislife9924 I started Minoxidil on Feb 10 once per day. No sides. Slight shedding now but that is normal. In fact once you start shedding more you know its working. No sides. I started Finasteride on 3rd of March. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. No sides a few weeks in.
First thank you both for providing such wealth of information to the public! You have reassured me on safety and effectiveness of Finasteride. You are the only doctors I found on social media that provide such clear and technical explanation on the meds which helps patient build trust in your knowledge. A clarification I did not find in your videos is whether generic finasteride is equally affective as branded Propecia?
@@sillkthashocker it took me a year to notice some changes. you just need to be patient with it and trust that results will come. But it's not like all of your hair will come back.
I buy 5mg Fiasteride, saving lots of money. A family with bald men wearing hats it absolutely works! Will it bring back hair to already bald? No. Fortunately Finasteride came on the market in 1995-96 right when I started to lose my hair. It brought back the little lost at the temple, and at 64 I have a full head of hair.
Love your videos. I’m 37 and have had a full head of hair my whole life. The psychological trauma of suddenly seeing my temples thin sent me reeling, just started finasteride. Hoping it works!
Finas propecia is a life changer! No more suicidal tendencies for me. my hair is like 90% of my life. id rather die with hair coz you only live once here on earth.
I’m not an expert but I’ve heard the sides are lower then the oral version however most of dht gets converted in the liver and not on your scalp. So it’s way less effective.

So at the "right" dose, there's no side effects, increase hair density with maybe more hairs, decrease prostate size, increase urine stream, increase testosterone a little, look better and feel better, I think it's a win, even if it's not 7mgs/week, and just 3mgs/week, its still a win, it's about balance...
GREAT podcast, rally good information and VERY WELL EXPLAINED. Ive been on finasteride for a year and havent regrowth, BUT havent loss more, so its success for me. THANK YOU!!! Subscribed
Hello, this was really useful. I do have two questions. 1-Finasteride is recommended for use by 18 years and older. Would it be safe for a 16 year old to use at the right dose or could it cause development problems? 2-would Finasteride be a banned substance in professional elite sports? Many thanks to you both.
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.
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 .
@@rajatthakur3058 The problem with your theory is that your are not accounting for metabolites which half-life is much longer than the drug itself. This is why it takes up to 3 months for side effects from Finasteride to clear upon stopping medication. Taking it another day or less will yield the same effect.
@@joshuastam7704 considering the half life part as well. The more frequent the drug intake will be chances of half life sustainence of the drug inside body is higher and frequent thus leading to blocking of dht often. The lesser and alternatively the medicine is taken , the half life value / no. Is the same for instance , 24 hours from 1 mg , the next day when u'll not take it , dht production will kick in again , so in a week , u r allowing ur body to produce dht atleast 2 wice a week compared to halting it completely from daily dosage. The build up of alternate dosage is going to be fairly slower . Now whether u may take complete dosage or microdosages , u'll have to stop or put the medicin intake into sleep by mode after a period of let's say 4-5 months ..the flush out period Def gonna be 1.5 months compared to 3 months if one takes finasteride daily . I did it last year. Took for 4 months with Prp, shut it down for 8 months ..no side effects during the intakes as well , nocebo was trying to catch hold of me but it vanished the moment I figured out the calculation. Simultaneously, I took ashwagandha alternatively .. no effect on my libido as well. Plus , the side effects were from 1 mg or 5 mg daily when prescribed for prostrate issues. My microdosing is 0.5 mg 3rice a week only .
Just ordered some, will do 3x a week after this video even though the prescribing doctor told me there is no solid studies on that dose and he wants me at 7x a week.
I read that DHT serum levels doesn't spike up instantly on the second day of not taking finsateride. The DHT levels increase gradually "15-20 % after the second day" and so on for 3-4 days. Is this true, according to your findings? My point is that, Can I take finasteride every third day(two days gap) because I don't have a very severe hair loss and want to maintain my hair with little or no hair growth. I would be glad to to have an answer from you! Love your channel and all videos you post. Thank you!
I can only speak for myself. I a few years back tried, and my breast tissue started to get hard and achy, and I had an elevated heart rate (although I attribute that to the minoxidil). I stopped taking both, all side effects went away, and I won't take either of them again. That's just my story, it is what it is, I have no medical qualifications.
I’ve been on fin for a week now, but I’ve had some bad headaches since I started so I’m going to take it 3x a week, I’ll update on the progress. So far no other sides.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you mentioned it is safe for the heart, liver, etc... I have mild kidney disease, is there any effect this medicine has on your kidneys? Thanks-cheers
It really depends on the degree of hair loss. If you have some mild miniaturisation, then it is possible for that to thicken up again. But once a hair is gone, it's gone. Glad you are enjoying the content. Feel free to subscribe, plenty more to come.
started today, ill update this so feel free to ask 1 hour after: feel like i should say Ive been using Minoxidil for 1 year and doing scalp massages, improvement was only slight because I have diffused thinning so Im starting Fin 1.25mg EOD (will try to lower in the future). Also I'm 18 and doing this with a lot of weak but still existent hair folicules and don't try this without talking to a trusted dermatologist.

No sir, the branded one (Propecia) is way to expensive for most, so just go for the generic one, they have the same chemical properties, the only difference is literally the name or brand
Don't be afraid lol, yes the scaremongers are in full force but I can give you perspective and I know many have a similar story. PFS is not a legitmate concern. People who claim to suffer from it is either suffering a psychological effect or its from an unrelated source (ed can be common and caused by so many factors). Side effects can happen, they did to me. But in the vast majority of cases, including my own, they normalize. The results on hair is legit. I noticed serious improvement in the quality of hair after 2 months and new growth after 3. I currently am no longer experiencing any sides and my hair is getting better every day! Many people who start Fin run scared at the first sign of any side effect. While it is true, they do happen and can be significant. I personally felt an unbelievable drop in libido for about 2 weeks. But It is NOT permanent! Many people will quit the drug right away if they experience them. When all they really need to do is wait or lower the dose. One of the biggest impacts that fin has on people is a nocebo effect. There is a far out 1% possiblity that fin will make you impotent temporarily, however just knowing that risk is there will cause people to stress and worry constantly about it. Which leads them to struggle with erectile dysfunction due to stress. The studies they conducted did indeed prove that the nocebo effect is significant. Long term the risks are so low and after 2 years of treatment the studies have also shown that the incidence of side effects is the same as the placebo subjects. Which means they decrease or resolve over time. Over 30 million people take this drug and it works well for them. The few scaremongers you see on the forums may have had adverse effects, and many of them blaming their condition on the drug itself. The disgruntled "Just shave it" Bros who try to convince you that baldness is the only option. Its not. You can keep your hair, and your confidence. My libido and sexual function is better than its been in years! The confidence that I have with the improvements in my hair really do make a difference. If you think your hair is worth it, dont be afraid. Always remember the devasting psychological impacts of losing your hair can have on you as well. I decided to take the red pill and fight for my hair! I have no regrets, best choice ive ever made!
Cody Bell hey, thanks for your answer and story. I started fin half a week ago and wasn’t even afraid anymore at that point. Infact, I was really hyped to start it. I agree, it’s about your mentality. After half a week of taking 1mg each day. I have no sideeffects (atm). Infact my libido may even have increased haha. On what dosage are you? And thx again for your long and honest response
@@janjet169 glad to hear! I'm actually taking 0.5mg/day and the results are definitely good! Keep up the positive mentality 👍and if you do see some sides, don't panic man! Lowering the dose necessary is a great way to manage or mitigate any of them without sacrificing the effectivness of the drug! Good luck on your journey!
You should try at least, I had the 1mg a day and it completely destroyed my libido and erections, i had some episodes of depression too but I think its because this dosage was too high for me, maybe i will try a personalized dose to see if it works
Hi, dr I've watched most of your videos relevant to me; however, I just have one or two questions that haven't been covered by your videos. if you get time, can you guys address the following questions: 1) I'm an athlete, and I'm wondering what/if finasteride would have any affect on muscle hypertrophy? 2) what purpose does dht have on the body that might be affected by reducing its production? I know it's a more potent androgen, as mentioned in one of your videos. as you can see, my concerns are based on it affecting my athletic performance. many thanks
If you take a DHT inhibitor and you develop side effects, does that mean your body was using DHT as a compensation for low testosterone? Something to consider.
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
Does taking zinc while on Finasteride lower the risk of side effects related to estrogen like Gyno and if I took it with Fin , will it lower the efficiancy of Fin and wont give the Fin the best results?!

Great show . I started Finasteride and Dutasteride very early before any hair loss at all . But my key question I wonder if you can cover : What do you think about taking 1000 mg pure niacin . to boost blood flow to the scalp ( and everywhere else ) . Surely that must help alongside fitness regimes . I’m 62 and have a full head of thick hair .
It seems to me the best time to start finasteride is before you even need it at all. Because by the time you notice if you’ve already lost quite a bit.
I'm not a fan of that logic, because if we did that we would be over-treating the population. The key is probably getting in early, that would be my advice.
The Hairloss Show I understand that completely but I was told by the time you even notice that you’re losing hair you’ve already lost about 30% of your volume. 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.
@@methodtraining I just receded at the temples to a NW2/2,5 but everywhere my hair is still unbelievably thick and coarse so I can practically do anything with it. Think of Harry Styles. So I think I caught it early enough. Starting today.
Hello I just wanna say thanks for the advice I started taking finasteride the way you suggested three times a week. I was wondering how does this add up with the months is it three to four months from that day or the days added together from when you take the pills 3x a week thank you so much

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.
If i take finasteride - lets say for 5 years. And than i quit. Will my hairloss than be even faster? Is the hairloss than quickly on the same Level like i would have never been taken finasteride?

My GP prescribed it to me and said take it daily for a year and he’ll recheck progress after one year. Any views for taking it daily? Thanks! Great show!
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)
I have a beard many call pretty thick and I just started fin 14 days ago. I just posted a video on it. I'll see what happens to beards as time goes on.
Hello everyone and doctors, could you please answer me this question? In my country propecia isn't commercialized in phamarcies, so I could only buy the generic brands of finasteride. Do you guys know if the efficacity is the same? and the results are the same. Thank you community!
Why when i read the leaflet when it arrived does it say it will lower testosterone and lower fertility and shrink prostate? Good video by the way it's nice to see it from a scientific point of view.
Hi doctor, I got a question, what do you think to mix finasteride in the same bottle of minoxidil? Do u think could be useful?? And secure? I took finasteride for a while, but I don’t want to continue using it in that way,
I’m currently watching these episodes but I have not seen them all as of yet. Does anyone know if these doctors mention that they themselves take finasteride? Thank you for the videos. And thank you all for your replies.
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? Thank you!
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.
@@filterhead22 Exactly, people just make reference to the same study on the group of rugby players. More research needs to be done. I really feel like I'm missing out on gains in the gym from not supplementing creatine. Please let me know your findings, my friend. Thank you.
Dr's I am not over weight, I don't drink or smoke. I had surgery for Gyno in 2012 when I was 22 years old. 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?
Have they removed the gland twice or just using lipo to remove excess fat? If the gland is mostly removed then it would he incredibly difficult for anything to regrow it.
Hi Dr’s, Can Finasteride cause penile shrinkage? I have read a news article reporting this. Is there any substance or truth in this side effect? If yes, would it be permanent? Thanks!
It decreases maximum growth if taken during puberty which would be permanent. If taken after puberty it wouldnt reduce size, it would reduce nitric oxide production in your junk which could affect maximum size when erect.

@@TheHairLossShow Hi please give me answer in one word
does taking finasteride tablets cause cancer?
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 !!!!!
@@navalh8679 I have using Finasteride for 2 plus years and I have no side affects and I am still waiting for my paycheck from "big pharma".
Bro, there are literally hundreds of guys on reddit who have had good results without any side effects. I haven't seen as many guys complaining about the side effects though. You are just fear mongering.
I never thought I'll trust a doctor opinion so much but when tywin lannyster is the doctor im a beliver
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.
If i take finasteride - lets say for 5 years.
And than i quit. Will my hairloss than be even faster? Is the hairloss than quickly on the same Level like i would have never been taken finasteride?
@@immanuelsandel6887 As far as I know you will go the the level of hair you would have if you didn't take the medicine.
What was your hairloss like before yougot on fin.?
@@rodrigobasoaltoc.1743 Bullshit thats fake news. After stopping propecia you will not lose all hairs. You will go to the point before you have started treatment.
@Sam lee did you toom finastride?
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.

This video is really helpful and a true credit to the dedication and commitment you both have for preventing hair loss in men. I’ve decided to try Finasteride after previously being put off, however I was concerned to read that it has caused Gynecomastia in a minority of men. I already suffer with this (mild) and wondered if either of you have seen this side effect in your patients?
What are the results after 1year of use?

First thank you both for providing such wealth of information to the public! You have reassured me on safety and effectiveness of Finasteride. You are the only doctors I found on social media that provide such clear and technical explanation on the meds which helps patient build trust in your knowledge. A clarification I did not find in your videos is whether generic finasteride is equally affective as branded Propecia?
I've been using finasteride for almost 3 years now. And the result is amazing!
Nice!
How long did it take to see more dense hair? I've been taking for almost 5 months so I probably need longer

@@jerricandres6422 Your hair looks fine. Are you still on finastride if yes what's the results. Appreciate your honest response
I buy 5mg Fiasteride, saving lots of money. A family with bald men wearing hats it absolutely works! Will it bring back hair to already bald? No. Fortunately Finasteride came on the market in 1995-96 right when I started to lose my hair. It brought back the little lost at the temple, and at 64 I have a full head of hair.
Love your videos. I’m 37 and have had a full head of hair my whole life. The psychological trauma of suddenly seeing my temples thin sent me reeling, just started finasteride. Hoping it works!

Two gents being informative and not acting like doctors.
What's your take on topical finasteride? Does it eliminate or reduce the chances of side effects? Is it as effective as oral finasteride?
I’m not an expert but I’ve heard the sides are lower then the oral version however most of dht gets converted in the liver and not on your scalp. So it’s way less effective.

You are still rambling on? Bro just STFU
So at the "right" dose, there's no side effects, increase hair density with maybe more hairs, decrease prostate size, increase urine stream, increase testosterone a little, look better and feel better, I think it's a win, even if it's not 7mgs/week, and just 3mgs/week, its still a win, it's about balance...

GREAT podcast, rally good information and VERY WELL EXPLAINED. Ive been on finasteride for a year and havent regrowth, BUT havent loss more, so its success for me. THANK YOU!!! Subscribed
Oral finasteride or topical? You may want to switch to oral
Hello, this was really useful. I do have two questions.
1-Finasteride is recommended for use by 18 years and older. Would it be safe for a 16 year old to use at the right dose or could it cause development problems?
2-would Finasteride be a banned substance in professional elite sports?
Many thanks to you both.
Great presentation!
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.
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 .
@@rajatthakur3058 The problem with your theory is that your are not accounting for metabolites which half-life is much longer than the drug itself. This is why it takes up to 3 months for side effects from Finasteride to clear upon stopping medication. Taking it another day or less will yield the same effect.
@@joshuastam7704 considering the half life part as well. The more frequent the drug intake will be chances of half life sustainence of the drug inside body is higher and frequent thus leading to blocking of dht often. The lesser and alternatively the medicine is taken , the half life value / no. Is the same for instance , 24 hours from 1 mg , the next day when u'll not take it , dht production will kick in again , so in a week , u r allowing ur body to produce dht atleast 2 wice a week compared to halting it completely from daily dosage. The build up of alternate dosage is going to be fairly slower . Now whether u may take complete dosage or microdosages , u'll have to stop or put the medicin intake into sleep by mode after a period of let's say 4-5 months ..the flush out period Def gonna be 1.5 months compared to 3 months if one takes finasteride daily . I did it last year. Took for 4 months with Prp, shut it down for 8 months ..no side effects during the intakes as well , nocebo was trying to catch hold of me but it vanished the moment I figured out the calculation. Simultaneously, I took ashwagandha alternatively .. no effect on my libido as well. Plus , the side effects were from 1 mg or 5 mg daily when prescribed for prostrate issues. My microdosing is 0.5 mg 3rice a week only .
@@rajatthakur3058 This makes no sense, sorry, it just doesn't work that way with 5AR blockers
Just ordered some, will do 3x a week after this video even though the prescribing doctor told me there is no solid studies on that dose and he wants me at 7x a week.
I read that DHT serum levels doesn't spike up instantly on the second day of not taking finsateride. The DHT levels increase gradually "15-20 % after the second day" and so on for 3-4 days. Is this true, according to your findings? My point is that, Can I take finasteride every third day(two days gap) because I don't have a very severe hair loss and want to maintain my hair with little or no hair growth. I would be glad to to have an answer from you! Love your channel and all videos you post. Thank you!
This was an awesome video! I have a question if you can so kindly answer me. Does the drug Interact with alcohol?
Only drink good wine..... That's just my general reccomendation and has nothing to do with Finasteride.
@@TheHairLossShow how about whisky?

I can only speak for myself. I a few years back tried, and my breast tissue started to get hard and achy, and I had an elevated heart rate (although I attribute that to the minoxidil).

Nice one guys ,
So finasteride may stabilise, is it possible it could allow some regrowth? Great channel by the way. Very informative.
It really depends on the degree of hair loss. If you have some mild miniaturisation, then it is possible for that to thicken up again. But once a hair is gone, it's gone. Glad you are enjoying the content. Feel free to subscribe, plenty more to come.
started today, ill update this so feel free to ask
1 hour after: feel like i should say Ive been using Minoxidil for 1 year and doing scalp massages, improvement was only slight because I have diffused thinning so Im starting Fin 1.25mg EOD (will try to lower in the future). Also I'm 18 and doing this with a lot of weak but still existent hair folicules and don't try this without talking to a trusted dermatologist.
hows it going so far?

Hi, i read some articles that Finasteride may lead to higher risk of high grade prostate cancer. May i get your comment about this? Thanks
Question: Does it make any difference to use the generic drug rather than the branded one?
No sir, the branded one (Propecia) is way to expensive for most, so just go for the generic one, they have the same chemical properties, the only difference is literally the name or brand
My biggest regret i Didn't heard about finasteride before 5/6 years ago when my hair fall start. I want to try. Wish me good luck
You say that it does not affect the liver and kidney but recent studies say differently.
Hello Dr. Is it ok to take 500mg Ashwagandha along with finasteride 1mg post dinner
Everytime I watch a video of yours, I think: yeah, imma get on fin.
Then I google it and think: nope, never trying that s*** out, haha
Don't be afraid lol, yes the scaremongers are in full force but I can give you perspective and I know many have a similar story. PFS is not a legitmate concern. People who claim to suffer from it is either suffering a psychological effect or its from an unrelated source (ed can be common and caused by so many factors). Side effects can happen, they did to me. But in the vast majority of cases, including my own, they normalize. The results on hair is legit. I noticed serious improvement in the quality of hair after 2 months and new growth after 3. I currently am no longer experiencing any sides and my hair is getting better every day! Many people who start Fin run scared at the first sign of any side effect. While it is true, they do happen and can be significant. I personally felt an unbelievable drop in libido for about 2 weeks. But It is NOT permanent! Many people will quit the drug right away if they experience them. When all they really need to do is wait or lower the dose. One of the biggest impacts that fin has on people is a nocebo effect. There is a far out 1% possiblity that fin will make you impotent temporarily, however just knowing that risk is there will cause people to stress and worry constantly about it. Which leads them to struggle with erectile dysfunction due to stress. The studies they conducted did indeed prove that the nocebo effect is significant. Long term the risks are so low and after 2 years of treatment the studies have also shown that the incidence of side effects is the same as the placebo subjects. Which means they decrease or resolve over time. Over 30 million people take this drug and it works well for them. The few scaremongers you see on the forums may have had adverse effects, and many of them blaming their condition on the drug itself. The disgruntled "Just shave it" Bros who try to convince you that baldness is the only option. Its not. You can keep your hair, and your confidence. My libido and sexual function is better than its been in years! The confidence that I have with the improvements in my hair really do make a difference. If you think your hair is worth it, dont be afraid. Always remember the devasting psychological impacts of losing your hair can have on you as well. I decided to take the red pill and fight for my hair! I have no regrets, best choice ive ever made!
Cody Bell hey, thanks for your answer and story. I started fin half a week ago and wasn’t even afraid anymore at that point. Infact, I was really hyped to start it. I agree, it’s about your mentality. After half a week of taking 1mg each day. I have no sideeffects (atm). Infact my libido may even have increased haha. On what dosage are you? And thx again for your long and honest response
@@janjet169 glad to hear! I'm actually taking 0.5mg/day and the results are definitely good! Keep up the positive mentality 👍and if you do see some sides, don't panic man!

@@codybell6882 good luck to you aswell!
You should try at least, I had the 1mg a day and it completely destroyed my libido and erections, i had some episodes of depression too but I think its because this dosage was too high for me, maybe i will try a personalized dose to see if it works

Hi, dr
I've watched most of your videos relevant to me; however, I just have one or two questions that haven't been covered by your videos.
if you get time, can you guys address the following questions:
1) I'm an athlete, and I'm wondering what/if finasteride would have any affect on muscle hypertrophy?
2) what purpose does dht have on the body that might be affected by reducing its production? I know it's a more potent androgen, as mentioned in one of your videos.
as you can see, my concerns are based on it affecting my athletic performance.
many thanks
Dht plays a very small role in muscle growth. If your testosterone is good them your muscle growth will be unaffected by dht reduction.
If you take a DHT inhibitor and you develop side effects, does that mean your body was using DHT as a compensation for low testosterone? Something to consider.
Hi doctor. Can I take Finasteride and Saw Palmetto together?
I’m stating on oral finasteride. At age 65, am I too late? Good hair sides and back but thin and bald spots on top.
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

Great show . I started Finasteride and Dutasteride very early before any hair loss at all . But my key question I wonder if you can cover : What do you think about taking 1000 mg pure niacin . to boost blood flow to the scalp ( and everywhere else ) . Surely that must help alongside fitness regimes . I’m 62 and have a full head of thick hair .
It seems to me the best time to start finasteride is before you even need it at all. Because by the time you notice if you’ve already lost quite a bit.
I'm not a fan of that logic, because if we did that we would be over-treating the population. The key is probably getting in early, that would be my advice.
The Hairloss Show I understand that completely but I was told by the time you even notice that you’re losing hair you’ve already lost about 30% of your volume. 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.
@@methodtraining I just receded at the temples to a NW2/2,5 but everywhere my hair is still unbelievably thick and coarse so I can practically do anything with it. Think of Harry Styles. So I think I caught it early enough. Starting today.

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.

Does finesteride has any effect on beard growth or stimulation ... I’m asking this question bcoz beard growth depends on DHT ...
this is a good question, please doctors answer this
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)
I have a beard many call pretty thick and I just started fin 14 days ago. I just posted a video on it. I'll see what happens to beards as time goes on.

Should I still take finesteride while getting my 2 hair transplant tho? I don’t want to miss a dose cuzz…
So theoretically this means that taking fin can also help with hair loss caused by low T..correct?
Hi doctor, I got a question, what do you think to mix finasteride in the same bottle of minoxidil? Do u think could be useful?? And secure? I took finasteride for a while, but I don’t want to continue using it in that way,
I’m currently watching these episodes but I have not seen them all as of yet. Does anyone know if these doctors mention that they themselves take finasteride? Thank you for the videos. And thank you all for your replies.
I started using Finesteride July 28 2023. If someone have questions comment anytime.
What happened
Any update
@@FarhanKhan-uv2ye I am not losing hair anymore. Or if I lose it's very small % percentage. But I am using Finasteride every other day.
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?
Thank you!
yes, as a gym rat, I am wondering the same!
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.
@@filterhead22 Exactly, people just make reference to the same study on the group of rugby players. More research needs to be done. I really feel like I'm missing out on gains in the gym from not supplementing creatine. Please let me know your findings, my friend. Thank you.

Dr's I am not over weight, I don't drink or smoke. I had surgery for Gyno in 2012 when I was 22 years old. 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?
Have they removed the gland twice or just using lipo to remove excess fat? If the gland is mostly removed then it would he incredibly difficult for anything to regrow it.
Hi Dr’s, Can Finasteride cause penile shrinkage? I have read a news article reporting this. Is there any substance or truth in this side effect? If yes, would it be permanent? Thanks!
It decreases maximum growth if taken during puberty which would be permanent. If taken after puberty it wouldnt reduce size, it would reduce nitric oxide production in your junk which could affect maximum size when erect.
Hi doctor can I check if there are any recommended finasteride brand?
I came across finnasride 1mg Binfin (Hetero Labs). Is all the brand the same ?
Let's say I havent lost any of my follicles it means I don't have bald spots.However , there are some areas thinning or miniaturised . Will finasteride make my hair thicken ? Thanks
Great channel guys. Any chance for a video on monoxidil? What it does, pros/cons using it with finasteride? Thank you
Have a look at this one... ua-cam.com/video/jztEaZKVz1Y/v-deo.html
Since the tablet is enteric coated do it affect the efficacy of drug when it get spilled to get prescribed dose. Why is it enteric coated, to protect the drug form acid or to protect gastric mucosa from drug? Should I spilt the tablet
Is it effective at low doses at all? Like once or twice a week?
Try 0.05mg per day.
I am taking 1mg Finasteride every other day. Does it make any difference if I am taking 1mg every other day versus taking 0,5 mg daily?
Thanks for sharing this information. Real Respect. Kudos!
lets say you started rogaine and regrew hair...if you then start finasteride and stop rogaine will those new hairs stay?
This is an interesting question, i would think it would because dht is being inhibited
