Got prescribed fin. Do i take it?

Did a video call with my doc, who saw my hair. didnt even look at it carefully and just prescribed me fin. said hair loss seems mild. basically temples are receeding/thinning.
im 26

do i take fin? start with .25mg a day. Or do i have to worry about sides of ED?

also, if i do get the sides should I just stop? What happens to my hair if i stop fin?
I don't check my CP, IDC about reps/negs

I don't know. Flip of the coin.

Risk your hair, or risk being a man.

If you're 26 and barely noticeable loss, maybe leave a year or two, and see if it progresses.

But if it was me. I would jump on fin for 3 months, if side effects are too much. Stop, and don't stress about it. More to life than hair.

Unless the doctor is balding or on fin, he probably knows a lot less about fin than a lot of miscers.

U gonna get reaped either way. Just embrace the inevitable, instead of desperately holding onto a few strands by neutering yourself like a white cuck.

You have made this thread like 7 times already, just take the gotdam self-castration pills and get done with it *******

Take the fin. You will need your hair until you are well established in life in your 50's. Going bald in your 20's is basically a death sentence.

Don't take that ****!

I don't know what you watched or read from TMZ but men like you need to stop having a distorted image of what a healthy male really looks like. Eating veggies and abstaining from alcohol is more scientifically proven than taking finasteride.

Men taking finasteride is the same thing like women getting breast implants or ass lift. Those implants need to be changed every 10 years, cause risk of cancer, and overall look like ****. Besides huge titties aren't even attractive outside of a blouse.


https://www.reddit.com/r/bald/commen...t_finasteride/

Seriously, get the **** off the internet and throw away your finasteride. Throw all your beer away, eat some veggies and go for a walk. If you bald, you bald. Unsubscribe from TMZ and MTV, and stop watching porn.


JUST LOL imagine thinking someone taking finasteride and hair implants is a real man... ****ing cucks.
That's what we do in this ****, brah.

Your hair is worth absolutely nothing compared to your male hormones.

And just as an FYI, when I see a man who is 50+ with a full & thick hairline, I don't give him much respect, something about that much hair at such an old age gives you the impression of a weak man. It looks female. Receded temples are masculine, just like having a beard. If you idolize looking like a 17 year old boy, then go for the drugs my friend.

I wouldn’t touch that poison with a 10 foot pole.

Way too many horror stories about dude’s dicks not working bitch tits, weak/watery seaman, pain in your balls, depression, Etc. and in some cases people never go back to normal after ceasing mediation.

takes female-level insecurity to give a fukk about hair loss

anyone taking that kinda chit is basically a low-level tranny

DHT is 5-10x more potent than testosterone and everybody knows that, are you retarded or just coping?

If you want to jeopardize your hormones at the age of 26 to be 'more attractive to females', lol, then go ahead loser. I prefer to keep my body running like nature intended, seems those genes survived long enough to be handed down to me, if hair loss was such a problem for our bald ancestors they wouldn't have ever given them to you.

My 50 year old tradie uncle is balder than bald and he's more jacked than most of the misc. He's a strong motherfuker and his hormone levels are very high for his age, meanwhile there are plenty of 50 year old guys who can't put on muscle for chit but have full heads of hair. DHT is useless after puberty? Nah, evolutionknows betterthan some quack scientist who's putting out bullchit articles to line his pockets by targeting insecure balding men.

If you want to be a weak ass limp dik 50 year old bcus you spent your 20's and 30's cucking your body to preserve your hair, then be my guest. Don't get me wrong, if they can solve hairloss via more responsible methods, I'm all for it. But I'm not taking female hormones just to have hair holy fuk!

I just don't get why miscers ask the misc these types of questions rather than a doctor or a hair loss forum. All you're gonna get here is reaper jokes.

For 6 months you've been making these threads asking whether or not you should debate your prescribing physicians because of side effects in which most are non-existent

I’ve been taking .25 mg fin everyday since I was like 28, and I’m now 35. I wish I started taking it like 3-4 years earlier, although my hair still looks amazing.

There arent studies either of the consequences of young men taking it for years. All the studies out there are mostly of old dudes that were already limp dicked anyway, and using propecia to treat prostate cancer.

Also, this drug is worth billions. Good luck getting studies approved. This **** is infamous for a reason, when half the people that take it tell you to stay the hell away from that ****, its for a gotdamn reason.

Definitely dont listen to this dude. Anybody thinking about it i suggest you do your own research, invest a few hours on it. Really doubt anybody that does proper research would take it but meh to each their own.
