That 20yo boomer scared of balding
hey guys I am 26 and I'm starting to bald. am I doing it right?
I started to go bald but then I started taking Finasteride. About 2 months after taking it the balding stopped entirely, 3 years later and I still have a full head of hair.
I can't imagine my life if I never found this drug. My semen is a little watery but w/e not like I care.
What about sex drive?
>Possibly causing irreparable damage to ur hormones for hair
I still have morning wood and jerk off about once a day. Maybe a little less due to being exhausted at the gym doing high volume/high rep compounds.
>I have no idea how the endocrine system works and this 30yo drug that is well-studied and documented scares me
That images needs a mechanical keyboard
did the balding just stop or did you regrow your hair?
Just know that you're on that shit for life now. The most devastating side effects don't kick in until after you stop taking it. Look up Post Finasteride Syndrome. Sorry you fell for the pharmajew goy.
I'm 23 and balding. Receding hairline and thinning on top. How fucked am I?
To add: for the last 5 years I've been getting buzzcuts because they're zero effort cuts. I didn't even care enough to get a nice haircut. Now I'm afraid to lose something I never really cared for.
I don't want to take the risk of losing my libido. When you search online you can find forum entries of people who fucked up by taking Finasteride and turning completely asexual.
It's all anecdotal, there's no empirical evidence or studies that prove what you're saying. I'm against the pharma jew too, but not all drugs are harmful. I only pay $20 a year for this prescription anyways, this drug is cheap af.
There's zero empirical evidence for """libido problems""", all it does it stop the conversion of testosterone into dht, that's it. It's been around for over 30 years and it's side effects are well documented and well studied. There was ONE, ONE study that showed that 1.4% of men had erectile dysfunction while on it.
>It’s a low risk— overall, just 1.4 percent of men who took the drugs suffered long-term erectile dysfunction. But it lasted a very long time: more than 3 ½ years after they stopped taking the drugs, the team at Northwestern University found.
nbcnews.com
Which is complete anecdotal bullshit.
You know what the #1 prescription drug is for men? Viagra. If you give a drug to a group of middle-aged men and say "it might cause erectile dysfunction", a good portion of those men are going to struggle, but it's ALL psychological, I mean of course the men are going to blame the drug. There's a reason Hollywood stars and doctors don't lose their hair. You're going to go bald and ruin your looks forever all because of some 40yo men blaming a harmless drug on their inability to get it up.
The study was funded by the creator of the drug, Merck. Of course they manipulated it to make it look like it was some tiny portion of people who suffered the side effects. Its been argued by alot of pharmacists that the real number of side effects sufferers could be as high as 55-60%. All I know is that I have had two college buddies go limp noodle off Finasteride, and one of them is still recovering. You should check out the rise in erectile dysfunction in recent years, then try to tell me it's not the pharmajews fault.
I use to take fin but got off after my nut wasn't as potent. I realized what the tradeoff was but didn't want to have to rely on fin for the rest of my life in exchange for watery cum
all this bullshit to reassure yourself that Long Dick Bezos couldn't swoop in whenever he wants and just take your girl whenever he wants.
>Its been argued by alot of pharmacists that the real number of side effects sufferers could be as high as 55-60%
I don't believe that for a second. Citation?
I understand you hate the pharmajew, as you should, but not all drugs are bad. Unless you can show citations or evidence other than "my two friends" I'm not going to believe you. I've been on the drug for 3 years and haven't had anything other than slightly watery cum, which was so minuscule I doubt I would have noticed if I wasn't on fin.
I was here for the keks but you guys arw serious
I'm 33 - had no clue I was going bald until I took a picture of the top of my head a month ago. I'm using minoxidil now which is making me shed like mad, see pic related. Going to get started on finasteride soon. Looking forward to watery cum
You don't have to believe me, I'm not the one on the medicine. Good luck man. I sincerely hope you don't get hit with sides.
Im good looking and Il stay good looking even after I shave my head.
If I dont Il do implants, not touching hormone shit though.
Its 3k to have a full head of hair again
>willing taking pills that mess with hormonal balance just to not go bald

>Can’t get it up with chick on the >pharmajew pills
Are there any more guys in their late 20's that now find younger adult males fuckable because they have feminine futures compared to your old man body/face?
I'm not even gay but I'd subject myself into fucking a 18 year old zoomer twink in the ass just because of my age and how feminine young males truly are, I didn't notice it til I started to age myself.
How fucked up is it that this actually happens to straight men?
lol its over boyo
tfw beautiful long hair
My dad is a urologist and has been prescribing finasteride for decades to patients with enlarged prostates. He had never heard of anyone having horrible side effects—says people tolerate it well. His patients are all old men though.
If I lose a lot of hair, I'll just do pic related.
It might just give you ED and or depression and hormonal imbalance(meaning lower test) and those are pretty horrible side effects.
There's a form for people who used to take finasteride and now their dicks don't work.
If anything it will give you higher testosterone because it prevents it from being converted to DHT.
I know about that forum, just saying my father who has administered it to many many patients wasn't aware that there were people like those guys. He doesn't hesitate to prescribe it at all.
Also I'm pretty sure Harvard did a study on those guys claiming to have Post-Finasteride Syndrome and concluded their symptoms weren't distinguishable from ordinary depression, nothing wrong with their hormones etc.
The people you're arguing with are fear mongering on baseless assumptions who have no idea how the endocrine system works. Just ignore them, you can't help everybody.
u do that and its just gonna fall off again moron
after hair transplant docs prescribe u finasteride lmao
>being bald
Just lift and stop smacking off so much. Get some sleep.
Haha the side effects are on the fucking packet. Your dad is a brainlet if he isnt aware of the risks and prescribing that shit without warning. Is he a pajeet street shitter working for a rx site?
The side effects are fucked compared to the perceived benefits of delaying balding by 5 yrs lmao
Tldr; tell your dad Mumbai University isnt a real university
>muh money
>I'm not even gay
You will look like shit bald and there's not enough donor area to get a good hairline as a cueball
Fin is risky,after taking it for 5 years i stopped because i had some minor ED that went away when i stopped taking the pill.
For some people it will be Ed for life.
Being handsome as a man is overrated, its all aout manliness and attitude.
kek that was me.was stealing rogain from my grocery job.
27 now and still not balding
kill yourself, dude
I was on fin for 2 years no problems. I had to get a new prescription and ended up not taking it for about 2 months just to see what would happen
Literally no difference in my dick or mood, the only thing that I noticed was that my hair started thinning again, so I got back on it
Just rubbed dicks with a 19 year old boy. Am 28. Twas nice. /bisexual/ athenian right here.
>Born with shitty hairline, it looks like I'm thinning but never changes
>No loss of hair in family, 93 year old grandpa has a decent head of hair still
My hair will look half decent in about 10 years I guess.
My dad knows about the common side effects of course. But he considers the medication to be extremely safe and said it's very rare for his patients to report problems.
What he didn't know about was the vocal contingent of people on the internet who claim finasteride lead to devastating life-changing consequences like total sexual debilitation persisting long after they ceased using the medication.
I'm 29. Not balding but my hairline has receded with a peak in the middle. Sucks :(
Trade off is I have thick facial hair, even though I shave it
>athenian
Checks out
wtf..
How does the body cope with 70% decrease of DHT? (the most potent male hormone?)
Balding is death but lowering DHT is pretty dumb.
>this actually happens to straight men
> That 30yr old boomer who is attracted to younger guys and thinks he's straight.
>lowers DHT permanently for a little hair
Fucking faggot, i’d start juicing if I was balding
waste of a good head of hair
>not balding
>hairline receding
you aint straight buddy
>letting anyone else dictate to you what your self confidence should be, especially for something as superficial and temporary as hair
Soon as my hair starts to go I'll just get a buzz cut every two months and never worry about it.
thanks
started to go bald at about 21, took finasteride for about a year and it made it made my dick numb, was weird shit. couldn't even jerk off if i wanted to it felt like my penis was an inanimate washcloth sitting there. went off that shit and haven't noticed much more baldness in the 8 years since, but gladly my dick is back to normal now. my dick didnt work for about 6 months after i stopped too. have been using minoxidal at night for like the past two years but honestly i don't think it does anything or it might even make it worse cause it just causes your scalp to itch and shed. in between that time of no fin or min havent really balded much more
Glad I wasn’t born wih that face.
Peppermint oil
Try peppermint oil mate
Check it out.

>doctor warned transplant only restores whats gone and pre-exisiting hair will continue to thin due to genetics
>doctor suggests continued use of propecia
>i told the doctor to go fuck him self and got another buzz cut
I've taken to brushing my scalp with a boar bristle brush. Maybe it helps exfoliate.
I'm 31 and show no sign of balding.
Post Finasteride Syndrome has been classified as a rare genetic disorder. Extremely unlikely.
>every two months
more like at least once a week pal
t. buzzing but now growing it out because not a hairlet (yet)
Good thread. I wanna get on finasteride again for the awesome hair gains but it made me emotional and shit. What's the point of having hair if it made you behave like a woman
hey Jow Forums, good news from my doctor says I will never, EVER go bald
bad news is that I'm a genetic freak and I am literally so fucking hairy, whatever I shave grows back to about an inch in a week or less depending on the area.
am I fucked? Can I make money off of my incredibly strong, durable, quick growing hair?
most of u are ugly anyway so who cares if u've got full hair
blacks are more beautiful
shoo jew
dumb faggot
better be bait, kek
totally innocuous
I'm saving around 6,000 dollars as an investment in myself in the next 5 years to get the transplants. I'm noticing the receding hairline at 25. I'd rather go bald than take jew pills.
