Is Hair Regrowth from Propecia Just a Bonus?
hey doctor, it seems everywhere (mainly hair loss forums) i read it’s saying that propecia is meant to just maintain hair and that any regrowth is an added bonus.

Castration and Hair Regrowth
From what I have read, castration stops hair loss however, castration will not regrow hair that has been lost. If this is true, why would Proscar grow any hair? It is my understanding Proscar blocks a percentage of DHT, which leads to the effectiveness of the product. If someone has been castrated there is o% DHT and still no hair regrowth? Also...
