I'm 27 years old at a crossroad in my life in terms of taking finasteride?

[WHTC Clinic]

Ethical clinics know that younger patients may not know their best interests

Hair loss is a bigger problem for 27-year-old males. All medication offers risks and side effects. One patient is not the same as another. Being healthy (sexually, physically, emotionally-mentally), having a balanced diet, and finding treatments that benefit is work. If tomorrow matters, today is what keeps us ready for tomorrow.

Ethical clinics know that younger patients may not know what their best interests are while others simply look to make financial profits. All patients, whether they be young or suffer from advanced hair loss, should know that surgery and medical therapy come with effects. Consider the amount of money being spent on drugs and surgery.

Effects are either temporary or permanent, pick one or both.

Quiet intrigued by your choice of words stating that people are fear mongers, when they complain about sides.
Harsh statement and offensive towards them donīt you think?
You are quiet hung up with proof facts that will never happen for obvious reasons, and the huge amount of people sharing their experience on propeciahelp are paranoid.

What is your opinion towards Doctors that refuses to describe Finasteride, is it lack of knowledge or could it be that they are well aware of the risks, and the drugs main purpose from the beginning?
Luckily i donīt take ridiculing from people i donīt know, and especially interactively seriously but a lot of people does, so i would suggest you to choose your words wisely as your stated wisdom.

Iīm going to prepare my kitchen remedy now (or was it snake oil that you said?) due to my lack of knowledge, and the ingredients that i use since they are not approved.

I suffer from severe clinical obsessive compulsive disorder. I'm fully aware of how powerful anxiety can be, and the symptoms it can manufacture. Do I think everyone on Propeciahelp is neurotic? No. But I think it's very feasible that many are.

Whether you like it or not, actual proof of pfs still hasn't been physiologically established. Many men take Propecia with few issues. These are facts.

Do I believe Propecia is harmless? Absolutely not. I don't believe any drug is without some ill effect in our bodies. It's all about measuring it's possible damage versus the damage of your ailment, and making a personal decision.

I also believe processed foods are far more damaging than many of these drugs. But people tend to ignore that and eat cheap garbage anyway.

You aren't going to live forever no matter how healthy you try to be. If a treatment can improve the quality of life for the individual it's up to them to make a risk vs benefit acessment and decide what's best.

To conclude:

Is Propecia completely safe? I doubt any medication is

Do millions of men take it without life altering problems? Absolutely.

Is it possible to suffer permanent ED? Probably possible but extremely rare. Should you avoid crossing the street because it's possible you get hit?

As for your treatment: I'm not at all against experimentals. I would looooove an effective natural treatment for hair. Everyone would. The problem I have with your method is that other people are ignoring proven treatments and most likely losing hair trying yours. Not everyone is like you, having a wife and doing this for the hell of it. Many men desperately need an effective treatment immediately. So I just try to inform them of the facts we have here and now.

No hard feelings, cheers.

I made it clear from the beginning that it works for me.
Iīm fully aware of peoples seriousness regarding hair loss , and i did my studies before i started my own remedy.

By using fresh ingredients with anti fungal, oxidant, enzyme co-factors and the major vitamin, mineral nutrients needed.
Trust me it took me a while since itīs not supplements with stated nutrient labels on them.
I have been using it since April with small changes, and it still works great for me.

I'm in agreement with this. If I were in a stable relationship and I was already married with kids I wouldn't even worry about this if I were completely bald, especially if I were 10 years older. Unfortunately that's simply not the case. I'm 27 and single this of course makes it a lot more frightening.

I started loosing my hair when i was 20 years old, and it did not bother me that much since it was only hair.
But then again iīm 41 years old now, and sadly the societies preferences are impacting people way more now due to interactive reasons etc...

As WHTC clinic nicely mentioned how it works now, itīs up to you how to proceed.

this is the most common topic being discussed on this forum. I always look at the situation like the following... do you really wanna take this drug for the rest of your life? u know once you start it, there is no way out. i would advise think more than twice..

and honestly i tried and had a serious pain in my sack so had to quit. I tried 3 months and pain didnt go away. Should i been more persistent? maybe yes ...did i want to take a risk on my healthy? no i am not eejit like most people here.
ok im bald but i am not putting my hair front of my health

[coderz]

I understand but aren't you assuming that 1. Other guys will experience issues and 2. That this drug is actually unhealthy to most men long term. I know that you have to keep taking it constantly. I wouldn't take it for the rest of my life, but I would like to take it so as to keep my hair into my 30s. As I started getting into my mid to late 30s and if I was married etc. I'd probably quit caring and I'd stop taking it.

I started with my first pill today. It was a little scary being that I took the leap into taking a pill. Let's hope nothing happens. Any advice to stop the stress and panic about the pill?

[AlexieJ]

I don't think it is advisable to take this forever. You still have a choice and I don't understand why do you think that there's no way out when you started taking the pill. Don't ever assume you will be taking this forever.

oh yes you do.. losing hair no matter what age you are in would be devastating.. it is a mental phase seeing yourself in a mirror everday you wake up... same feeling when you are in ur 20s or 30s.. maybe little less after 40s... assuming this guy is at his prime, yes taking a drug for 15+ years feels like forever...
my advise no one should use fin more than a year... because it is such a strong medicine could alter your hormones along with serious sides. the ones having no sides, i guess they are lucky for today but no guarantee for tomorrow for them either.
I would still say YES WE SHOULD ALL USE FIN if it was a magic portion, and guarantee to make us NW0. unfortunately it is not either.

in other words we are putting our health at risk just for maintenance and maybe few more hairs on top of our head... I think everyone on this forum agrees with it... after all it is just maintenance +few hairs vs taking it forever...

I was also a bit scared when I took the first pill, but of course everything was ok and now I don't even think about it anymore.

Pop it like a Vitamin C pill and don't overthink it. Any mild side effects will fade for most people after 3 months or so. The less you read about it online the better. The drug has been around nearly 26 years. I work with Seniors who take 5mg/day every day for decades for their prostate with no major issues.

[rmalh8]

coderz...can you please tell about ur progress? are u still taking it and did u experience ant sides?

[VictimOfDHT]

I don't know why people are still talking about this issue of "side effects" of Fin. I don't think there is anything left to say....but I'll say this again, been on the drug since it came out, literally, and I have no side effects. I had/have LOW sex drive to begin with, I mean before I even started taking the drug, I have depression -which lowers sex drive- and still, NEVER felt any decrease (extra) in my sex drive. Hell, sometimes I feel I'm more interested in sex now than I was in my 20's. I'd say, Fin never affected me in any negative way. Yes. I know there are people who are affected but I'd say many of them it's psychosomatic. Those who really have bad side effects are a tiny tiny minority.

But I do need to mention, neither Fin nor Minox could stop the progression of my hair loss. They -even though I feel it's Minox that was doing the job- did slow it down big time, I think. My 2 brothers (not taking anything) are almost completely bald.
