Using finasteride to stop hair loss is like burning down a house to kill a cockroach

Congratulations, you stopped hair loss - but at what cost?

Significant collateral.

Blocking 70% of anessentialmale hormone is idiotic. It's extremely important for a variety of different bodily processes, including sexual function, fertility - and many others.

The usage of 5Ξ±-Reductase inhibitors can lead to sexual dsyfunction. Some side effects include:

- Erectile dysfunction
- Premature ejaculation
- Penile shrinkage
- Decreased sperm count
- Decreased sperm volume
- Decreased sperm concentration
- Decreased sperm motility
- Decreased testicular volume
- Decreased muscular power
- Decreased muscular strength
- Decreased neurosteroids
- Increased risk of gynecomastia

This isn't a pro-bald thread.

Balding is still bad, and probably should be considered a legal disability.

I advocate simply having good genetics.

Depends how bad your sides are

If my sperm is a little more watery, and my sperm count is lower (both of which will be fine if I just discontinue), then finny is less detrimental to my life overall than losing hair 2-3 points/10

brb chemically castrating yourself for a little hair, just wait for more to fall out and then get a hair transplant if you really want one, they will pick the GOAT hairs from the back of your head that will stay put (apparently)

The non-transplanted hairs in "at risk" zones will still be lost without medication.

Topical dutasteride is the holy grail.

Due to high molecular weight, it stops most 5reduc on the scalp but doesnt penatrate enough to go widely systemic

DHT regulates kidneys, liver, and eyes and other organs, as well. I'm happy you did not experience harsh effects.

Imagine believing blocking 70% of one of the most important male hormones will only affect the state of your hair..LMFAO

Also they do more than just blocking DHT:

By inhibiting 5Ξ±-reductase and thus preventing DHT production, finasteride reduces androgen signaling in tissues like the prostate gland and the scalp. In the prostate, this reduces prostate volume, which improves BPH and reduces risk of prostate cancer. Finasteride reduces prostate volume by 20 to 30% in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.[67] Inhibition of 5Ξ±-reductase also reduces epididymal weight, and decreases motility and normal morphology of spermatozoa in the epididymis.[68]

Neurosteroids like 3Ξ±-androstanediol (derived from DHT) and allopregnanolone (derived from progesterone) activate the GABAA receptor in the brain; because finasteride prevents the formation of neurosteroids, it functions as a neurosteroidogenesis inhibitor and may contribute to a reduction of GABAA activity. Reduction of GABAA receptor activation by these neurosteroids has been implicated in depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction.[69][70][71]

Literally a realistic idea. From the website:

The above claim is supported by the fact that men who are exposed to exceptionally high levels of DHT in response to the daily application of DHT for a long period of time didn’t experience acne, male androgenic alopecia or other androgen-associated skin pathology (R).

Furthermore, the differences in mean values of DHT were not significant according to the types of alopecia and the control group. And increased serum concentrations of DHT is not correlated with the advance of alopecia (R). This study speculates that hair loss severity is affected by other factors other than DHT, such as the duration of alopecia or the sensitivity of hair follicle cells to androgens (R).


Thus, blocking 5-AR in the scalp (topical application) and supplementing DHT would probably work fairly well.

Seems like you're the one ignoring studies. The article is backed up by tons of scientific articles.


The cope of baldies who are castrating themselves is funny though. A bit like circumcels denying reality

I've had women tell me I look better bald. I think they can detect the high androgen levels in my blood and find it attractive.

Not sure why I'd destroy my endocrine system with finasteride just to look worse.
