I am really balding? I posted my hair yesterday and someone told me I need to take something against it.

it has receded, yes. it could stop there or advance further. keep an eye on your shower drain and brush for increased shedding or perform a pinch test

If it has been that way for awhile now then it might just be a matured hairline and youre fine, only you can judge that tho. id keep an eye on it regardless because its easy to cope about hairloss until its too late and advanced to a bad point

Just look at your male ancestor's hairlines and you'll know if you need to take finasteride or minoxidil or whatever else people use.
Some people slightly recede and stop there while others will lose most of their hair, so it's really just a genetic thing.

Yeah idk it is hard to judge that. I am really not sure at all. I feel like my hair is a bit thinning out but my hair has been basically always a bit thin.
I just don't want to take a drug that could make me impotent for no reason at all.

Some of them had hair until they were old others had a receding hairline at old age.

i mean, the odds are good that fin/dut dont. its like a 1-3% chance iirc and the symptoms go away after disuse. i personally never had an issue on fin so i feel its worth taking but i understand avoiding it

Yeah I just don't want to go bald. Hair is such an important factor to look young and attractive. But I would have to take it forever once I start.

you can quit whenever you want, theres not any nasty withdrawal symptoms on 5a-inhibs. but ya, if you have to take it you have to take it til youre ok with losing the hair.
i wish you luck whatever you do, and hope you dont end up like me on stuff with consequences

Thanks you had side effects? Is there any difference in the products or can I just take any finasteride with the cheapest price? Maybe I should go to the doc before I take.

>Thanks you had side effects?
for the year or so i was on it before i switched to stronger meds i had no side effects
>Is there any difference in the products or can I just take any finasteride with the cheapest price
its all the same drug and same quality regardless of brand. but i was using keeps.com 1mg/d finasteride if that helps
>Maybe I should go to the doc before I take.
if that makes you feel safer then ya. the web pharmacies have doctors that can prescribe with pics you upload tho, which is what i did

idk op because your pic has been deleted but if all the males are bald in your family youre destined to be an egg. If your maternal line is okay and your paternal is smoked then you got a 50/50 chance.

Me? dads side is fucked, absolutely cooked. Mums side all kept their hair, I faintly remember by great granddad a ww2 vet who had a full head of hair. I'm 24 so Ig well find out, apparently I take features from my granddad on mums side so hopefully i do okay.

Why did you take stronger ones did you keep balding?
I think I will go to my normal doctor instead. Online seems a bit sketchy.

Yeah it is 50/50. I think I got most of the good genes tho.

it worked for a year and then seemed to stop working, i began noticing more hairs falling out again. i couldnt take the stress it caused and went nuclear

understandable, a derm would be able to look at your follicles and give you a definitive answer about whether youre balding or not and give a good rundown on what to expect with medication. gl!!

Looks perfectly fine, certainly not worth making a thread over. Sounds like some jealous baldcel got into your head.

That sucks I think stress makes that even worse. Yep a real doc can tell me what it up for real.
>>81765933
It is worth it I think. Women hate bald men and it just doesn't fit me.

I don't see 3% as that low, I guess I'm risk averse. I bought some topical minox for now.
