They rarely give Finasteride for BPH. You were most likely on Tamsulosin (Flomax) or Advodart (dutasteride). Even then, that is the oral dose, not the topical one.I tried Finasteride for its effect on BPH. One of the side effects is "retrograde ejaculation".It was too unnatural for me, so I didn't continue with it.

Why the science says otherwise. Baldness is partly genetic/environmental

29 and I currently shave my head every 3 days or so with a razor. I still have the same hairline but I have diffuse pattern balding, where the entire crown area is just thinning instead of having a receding hairline.

Show me your MD license and we can go with your theory.

It's not my theory it's peer reviewed research done by scientists not a lousy dermatologist lol

Sure. Whatever you say dude. I know this works as it has worked for millions of men. But believe whatever you wish. When it's alopecia areata, it is undetermined if it's 100% genetic or not. Regardless, if it is, this system will work to regrow and slow down or reverse hair loss. But, again, do whatever you wish. It's your hair, not mine.

My bad! Yes, it was Tamulosin. Interestingly, I have been on Terazosin, and it has a very nice Viagra-like effect.
Of course, as I take that prior to going to bed, it makes going too long without fapping impossible.
My hair is definitely thinning. I'm 35 now and first noticed it when i was about 22, since then my forehead has slowly got bigger.. From the chart i'd say I am 2,2... I really really do not suit a shaved head, it looks damn terrible on me. If the receding continues I'll definitely get a hair transplant....

They gave solutions here that supposedly provide 30-50% improvement. Thickening of existing fibres and regrowth and new growth.
Maybe I’ll try it.. I won’t put chemicals inside me though

The men gave topical so that testosterone wont be negatively effected. Biotin is vitamin b7. And the other ingredients.
Nearly 35 and still have full, thick hair which grows so fast that I need to go to the barber shop every 20 days or so. Not a single grey/white spot either. I remember having read some research online stating that the "best" boding age for young men is 23-28, after which you could pretty much hold it until late 40s or early 50s. Plus, it's genetics I guess. My dad used to have full, thick black hair at his 50y anniversary and after that he slightly started bolding - top of the head first, then the sides.Sick part is my dad's dad got completely white hair early 30s and my mom's dad got completely bold during his late 20s.

I shave my hair down. I have thinning but I can make the head shaved look work because i used to do it when I was younger. My current style is very similar to the attached picture, My head shape is similar as well so it works on me.
Also, If interested, I've heard about Men using a dermaroller to "wound" the scalp and the healing process causes hair to grow through regenerating. I looked into it and many Men have regrown their hair this way with very positive results. Some combined dermarolling with Minoxidil, Others did it without Minoxidil and they still had results with regrowth.

To my post above, here's a link where this guy talks about it
Also known as "Microneedling". I saw on a hair loss forum, Some guy butchered his scalp with blood pouring all over the place. At first I thought it was a joke but realized he was serious. He seemed to have a ton of hair growth this way lol.

I have full hair, I doubt I'll ever go bald. At least I'm not genetically predisposed to lose it. If I'm like my father it will slowly start turning white/light gray at around 40. My grandfather on my father's side had thinner hair, but it was even. On my mother's side he has lots of hair.
I friend of mine (same age, 27) rapidly started losing hair at 16, he's pattern 5 and class 6 now. Same as his father, although he's completely bald.

I'm going to be 43, full head of hair I have fine hair but no balding, grows fast every 5 weeks I need a hair cut. The grey hair is coming in but you expect that when your in your 40s. My dad retained his hair till he was late 60s its falling out now.
