    Can someone please advise me what is going on. is the propecia making my hair fall out and will there be regrowth, is the thinning due to stress, it been a year and i have had stress tablets to calm the stress and my stree levels are back to normal. should i stop propecia as my hair is thining all over, can someone please help me?

    Hey I'm in the same boat as you, I began taking finasteride and I've begun shedding SOO Much.

    It's hard to remember that this is a good thing since my hair is responding well to treatment.
    I'm also using minoxidil in combination with it, and that has made my hair even thinner.

    I heard that it can take up to 3months of shedding before you stop and another 3 months after that to see regrowth. I'm going to stick it out because i know in a another year I'll be kicking myself for not doing it sooner then later. If your already shedding and looking thinner there's no turning back unless your having side effects.

    I imagine it will return to what it was before as time moves on. But you have a choice will that hair regrow thicker or thinner.... if you choose to stop it will grow thinner and thinner as time moves on. Or thicker and thicker as time moves on with propecia.

    What side effects were you experiencing? Also considering talking to your doctor about the side effects and dosing, I've read alot about guys taking the pill every other day, or 0.5mg each day rather than the 1mg.

    Everything i say is from research on the net, so I woudlnt trust my opinion with all certainty, your best bet is a great doctor who specializes in hair care. (something i need to invest time in also)

    my side effects the usual tastical pain less semen but the side effects have gone, the concern is the thinnonh and scalp showing, why does propecia make the hair thin, i have done alot of reseach over the net and read after the 3months the shedding stops,

    where are you losing hair from and is the sheding meaning the tablets working?

    from speaking to my doctor she has said the shedding has not happen to any of her patients and propecia is not meant to make the hair fall out

    if you look up shedding and propecia you'll see that it sheds hairs that are damaged due to DHT, and then the hair will shed in its vellus state, and return to a thicker terminal state.

    Also remember hearing it can cause shedding from all over the head in weird spots. I'm not sure how common it is, but alot of guys on here talk about it and talk of getting through that hump. Just think in another 3-6months you'll look back and think THAT WAS WORTH IT!

    My shedding is mostly due to minoxidil i believe. Its right at the peak of my hair line and all in the frontal region, it looks horrible. Can't wait to get it back thought since if the hair fell out, it means its responding!

    The Hair Transplant Complications, while infrequent, are essential to understand. Procedures like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) are generally safe. However, potential risks include infection, managed through sterile techniques and antibiotics. Swelling, often around the forehead and eyes, is temporary. Pain and discomfort are manageable with medication. Scarring, more likely with FUT, can be minimized with proper care. Minor bleeding is normal, while numbness and tingling resolve over time. Shock loss, though distressing, is temporary, and benign cysts can be drained if needed, highlighting the importance of post-transplant care.
