Doctor, There is an established correlation between (early onset) androgenic alopecia and both cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer. Now interestingly, Propecia (more than likely) reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

Dear Dr. Rassman, Thank you very much for your helpful book and web site. I am a 29 year old male planning to get a hair transplant.

Hi, Before started propecia my dht levels were normal, now after 7 months i had great results but my dht levels are 5 times higher. have any of your patients reported this? or do you know anyone who happened this?

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. But propecia’s website says in their 2 year study that 66% of men had visible regrowth. 2/3 sounds like the majority of people should regrow hair. furthermore the 5 year study...
Hey doc, I am 13 months in on propecia and my hair is a little worse than when I started. I have read that best results occur at 18-24 months.

I can’t recall such a situation with one of my patients, but we do know...

This blog is an excellent resource; I studied it extensively and used it to decide on Propecia as a course of action 3 years ago. I have a question with respect to Propecia and nocturnal erections. You mentioned in a previous post that, “the lack of morning erections is a known problem with Propecia.” Why is Propecia associated with lower...
Dr., If you’re a good responder to Finasteride, doesn’t that mean you’d have an even better result on Dutasteride/Avodart? Seems like the only guys saying dutasteride didn’t work for them were the ones that didn’t get any benefit on fin. Glaxo Smith Kline is making a big mistake if they don’t do the studies to...
