Treatment without Propecia/Finasteride

[tarzan]

From your photos you still have a great head of hair with not a hint of a bald patch on the crown or noticeable frontal recession. A very small dose of finastiride or propecia like 1.25mg per day is unlikely, in my humble opinion, to have any major impact on your libido/fertility in the long term....it may stop or greatly slow down further loss and thicken out hair that is starting to thin out, if you catch it early. I know fears over side effects [I am now on 5mgs per day, a fourfold increase over what I used to be on for past few weeks and no loss of libido]] but you have got to think of how you would feel about life in 10 years time or less if you had a big bald patch on your vertex and a middle aged man's fringe even though you would still be in your 20's!

Got much information regarding hair loss treatment after reading the comments.

I agree with Notcoolanymore. Think about using Rogaine until you are old enough to be prescribed finasteride. That's your best bet. And I know you don't want to take finasteride (you've clearly got time to think about it) but consider that pretty much everything has side effects, and finasteride has an excellent safety profile.
