27 Year Old Just Started Propecia (with Photo)
Hi Dr Rassman, Your blog is a gift so thank you for your efforts. After reading your blog and doing a bit of research I have decided to get some guts and visit my local doctor to start Propecia. I have been on it for two weeks so far with no major side effects – so any one reading scared off by all the internet hype out there – you will just have to suck it up and give it a go. When reading your blog and looking at the Norword scale I am a little confused by my pattern, I

Dr. Rassman: Prior to reading this, thank you for your time. Your insight and knowledge is of great appreciation. My situation is as follows: I started propecia, was on it for a month, then underwent a HT of 1,900 grafts mainly in the front hairline. I continued to use propecia for 2 more months and began to experience some serious sexual side effects....
Hello! Congratulations for the great insight that you give with your blog. I’m probably hopping on the Propecia bandwagon and would like to know your clinical experience with it concerning side effects. Do many patients discontinue it after some time? I know the whole debate about Propecia’s safeness, for me it’s probably more of...
Propecia is the only FDA-approved, oral drug for treating male pattern baldness. It appears to be the most powerful treatment currently available for treating hair loss in men. Clinical evidence largely supports this claim. The sole active ingredient of Propecia is called finasteride and it works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into follicle-...
Dear Dr. Rassman, Thank you for this informative website. I visit everyday, and my wife just gave me your book for the holidays. Unfortunately, I am one of the few who have experienced side effects with Propecia. I was orginally on 1mg per day, and then I tried 1mg every other day, and .5 every day. But everytime I had to stop. Luckily, all three...
How do you keep the hair that you have without any side effect medications? Most men have no side effects from Propecia, as the sexual side effects only occur in 1% of patients. Members of my own family take it and have no side effects, nor have they ever had them. Minoxidil has side effects of its own, including changes in blood pressure and skin...
I’m 25 years old and my doctor recommended Rogaine (minoxidil) for my hair loss but people tell me it doesn’t work. I am also not sure if I’m willing to take Propecia (finasteride) because I’m afraid of the possible side effects such as erectile dysfunction. Should I consider a hair transplant instead? This hair loss

Dr. Rassman, Thank you for taking the time with this blog and the questions you have answered for me over the past year. I’m 30, I take Propecia and have been on it a year for crown thinning. I’ve gotten very good results but have a question that has been bugging me. Last year, after a month on propecia, I read

Hi Doctor, Thank you for maintaining this great and informative blog and answering all our questions. I was on propecia for 9 years until last year I was prescribed Avodart because propecia was losing its effectiveness. I decided to go off avodart after a year and go back to propecia. The dermatologist told me to give it a year before deciding to...
Men considering Propecia (finasteride) as a hair loss treatment are often highly concerned about the possibility of sexual side effects. And though these side effects are reported as rare on Merck’s website, they are a very real possibility. Thus, Propecia consumers should be aware of the risks and what to do in the event they’re

First off, I just want to say that I love your blog and I thank you for your willingness to offer advice to the general public. I’m a 24 year old male who recently stopped taking Propecia after 1 month because well, basically I began to experience sexual side effects and let’s just say I’m not man enough to risk losing my manliness...
