male pattern hair loss


Recommended Posts

hey all, I was wondering if anyone else it here has an issue with the male hair loss. I was looking at keeping mine for a bit longer, so am looking at the propecia. Now the research has revealed that it is a test blocker, from what i gather it is similar to temoxifan, as it it stops test aromatising. at $100 a month for the stuff one i was wondering if their was anything cheaper out there. the other question is does it affect test in the system and how would this affect my gains. big warnings on the container about loss of sperm and limp dic etc.. thoughts?????

Proscar is another product that contains Finasteride and is a bit cheaper. From memory it works out about $1 or $2 a day. I used it for a while but stopped as it made me feel a bit weird and sadly didn't do too much for my poor hairline. It worked for one of my brother's but his libido fell through the floor while he was on it. It basically lowers the conversion of testosterone to DHT. DHT binds to the hair follicle and reduces hair growth. Unfortunately Propecia and Proscar have a whole list of potential negative side effects and they don't work for everyone so you have to like your hair quite a bit to want to give it a go.

Apparently it can mask steroid use so is banned in some sports. Maybe in bodybuilding?

And if you can read swedish it may have some irreversible side effects on your "sexuell funktion".

Like Flex mentioned, try proscar if you must.

It's a med for inflamed prostates so you'll have to get that looked at before you start the stuff (pretty daunting :pfft:).

You must have a special doctor - I didn't need an "exam" when I got it.

i used to be real paranoid about losing my hair started loosing it at about 21 , never used gear to this day , im 29 now and just shave it now, bald as my ass the day i was born, everyone says i look sweet not that i really care what anyone thinks anymore . so i guess if i take gear in the future its one less side i have to worry about aye :pfft:

proscar works out cheaper as its much stronger and so you can snap the tablet in half or quarters (i did halves) and have half a day. Did not save my hair, nearly lost my girlfriend though, my libido was fine but the big guy wasnt coming out to play! It will not affect anything to do with the gains that you make on gear or otheriwse though. You may have already been there and done that by now as i am late on this topic!

later dude
