Dr Dan McGrath

Propecia worked really well on me in the 6 months i used it. I had much thicker hair in the front temple area and it grew faster and shaggier and there was even a bit of regrowth.

But I dont want to restart without first taking some blood tests and testosterone tests. My question is, do I have to go to a trichologist to get this type of work done or do I just go to a physician?
If it is a trichologist I have to go to, do you recommend any of these places I found on google? I just moved to the UK so I don't have much information about the procedures here.

Lastly, do you know what specific type of tests someone in my situation should get done? What to check for?

Sorry for all the questions but I really hope you can help me

(this is part 1 or 2 messages!) Hi Dr. Dan, I wanted to ask you a question. Firstly I wanted to thank you for being active on this forum.

Right now I'm at the point of restarting my use of propecia after not using it for year. This was because after about 6 months I started getting sexual side effects. They were the typical ones of reduced ejaculation, loss of morning erection, slight numbness in penis, slight loss of libido and slight girth reduction in the erect penis.

I've recovered since stopping but not completely. I still have reduced ejaculation and penile girth and my erections arent as strong as they used to be, but i've improved the in the other side fx experienced while on treatment.

So now I want to try and go back on propecia because my hair is thinning more noticeably now and I dont want to go bald. I might just lessen my dosage and ramp up into it like some people on the forum suggested here:
