Too late for minox/propecia... ??
Hi,
I am 26 and have been experiencing hair loss for the past 4-5 years. All the males in both my parents family are bald. I am now contemplating to have my hair restored. Would you suggest I undergo treatment with drugs such as Minoxidil & Finasteride or is it already too late and a hair restoration surgery is the only option... ??
Thanks & Regards,
Rajiv Nair

Update - 2 Months - 9 Weeks
Hello Everyone,
I would start by expressing my gratitude to Tracy C, whose suggestion i took to get on my medication for hair loss. I visited a trichologist after reading your previous reply and after the consultation I started my regime with the Big 3 - Finasteride(1 mg), Minoxidil(5%) & Nizoral(1%). I am from India and we dont have any local pharma providing Finasteride specifically for treating MPB(like Propecia) so I went with Generic Finasteride.
As far as the treatment is concerned, I am using Minox twice every day and Nizoral thrice every week, at other times Im using a herbal shampoo. Id like to think that I am responding to the treatment, though I would like your feedback on it. I am going with 10% Minoxidil starting this month. Also, I had a bottle of Vichy Dercos lying around, that Im using thrice every week. The only side effect that I can think of is runny or watery semen and otherwise I am experiencing an increase in my libido.
I would be updating this thread every 2 months to keep a track on my progress with pics and experiences. Kindly leave your suggestions and feedback.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajiv Nair
