NEGATIVE SIDE EFECTS: I took Finasteride for 3 months and I had to stop it as negative side effects appear for the lack of DHT. No interest in sex. All the hair in my body fell off including legs, arms and chest. It made me insulin resistant therefore growing up a big belly. My doctor said this medication was suppose to do all the oposite but nevertheless I stop it in its track. This medication takes 3 months to get out of your system after which the desire for sex return SLOWLY, the hair on my body came back except in the chest and stomach and the insulin resistant belly stayed even after years of strict diet and exercises, and I still have it. If you are prescribed Finasteride keep your eyes wide open and if you see any of these side effects appear go and tell your doctor. There are always exceptions to the rules and unfortunately I was one.
Hello, Dr. My hair loss pattern began in my 40's and has progressed rapidly, particularly in the crown area, with other parts (the side area and hairline) being slightly impacted. I'm now 46, I had a hair transplant operation two months ago, and I'm using finasteride 1mg and minaxdil 5% as prescribed by my doctor for at least a year. Now that I'm seeing some side effects, I'm wondering if I should continue using it or if the hair loss trend will stop after a year, or if my body will readjust and the negative effects will fade away with time. Also, would taking modest doses of 0.5/0.25 mg be beneficial in reversing some of the negative effects? your doctor's opinion appropriate?
It’s been 2 months I’m using propecia 1mg .. Since one month I’m suffering from too much hair shedding .. daily more than 100 hairs I’m loosing .. I’m socially restricted.. I’m losing my confidence.. help me

So, if i have difficulty peeing due to an enlarged prostate, i have to wait approx four/six months for it to take effect, seems a long period of time to gain any relief ?
It's a very informational video that explain FINASTERIDE. As you said it may cause larger prostate. What if you stop taking it, will the prostate becomes smaller again? Or it's irreversible? Thank you Doctor O'Donovan.
From what I have read : First you need to take it to know if you're going to have side effects. After you take it for 2 to 3 weeks you will know. If you stop early it will take 1 to 2 months for your body to go back to normal. But always remember that finasteride mostly works if you have less of side effects then just take it, it's always better then being bald. Don't worry most of men don't suffering any or at most they suffer from mild side effects.
Hi Dr , I’m 18 years old, falls 50-70 hairs per day now ! My dad is fully bald due to genetics it’s serious ! Is it okay to use 1mg finasteride + minoxidil spray without dr prescription! Please reply me and tell me a method to stop this !
slowly start with topical minox 5percent along with change in diet try eating more protein cut off all junk ,increase your physical activity and then after 3 months start taking finasteride 1 mg 3 times in a week it would help in most cases currently i am doing that
Hi Doctor, I have been taking 1mg finasteride everyday for over 1.5 years And I had pretty decent results but lately I have been shedding alot of hairs and thining Would adding 0.5 dutasteride once a week be beneficial?

That’s interesting you say that as I’ve only been taking for 4 months but I now get really dry itchy eyes at times. But nothing a few eye drops don’t sort out
Been taking it for 6 weeks now alongside topical minoxidil. The side effect im experiencing is chest growth (man boobs), not so big but I can notice the difference. Feels a bit heavier and shaky. Apart from that, I can see improvements in my hair.
Sorry, to tell you this, but there's no way that's related to the Finasteride, lol. You are not taking it long enough yet for it to actually affect your body and "man boobs" don't grow that quickly either. Lastly, there's no way you can see improvements with your hair yet either. Give it two more months and maybe you see some improvements then.

Testosterone does not effect male pattern baldness. DHT does. Using Finasteride actually increases your testosterone, so having high T isn't relevant. You could take 2mg a day, but studies have shown that its only a tiny bit more effective than 1mg. You can take anywhere from 0.2mg-5mg per day, and there isn't too much of an effect in effectiveness, but higher doses put you at more risk of side effects. It's also important to note that Fin isn't supposed to grow your hair back. It main purpose is to prevent further baldness and keep your hair as it is. Only about 40% of men grow any hair back.
Thank you for that information. I was on anxiety tablets a while ago cos something happened in my life and I noticed I couldn't sleep or ejaculate. So I gave them up but my hair is slightly going so I decided to use these tablets. I was told its called Proscar. So hopefully I won't get the same reaction as the anxiety tablets

Assalam o alaikum sir i have done hairtransplant in September 2023. one important question i am asking you...? I am using Finisteride 1 mg since 4 months.i am noticing that you know due to use of this medicine some little side affects are facing me that is low libido, and gradually increasing ED issue that is commonly and vary man to man. So can you tell me that 1.Can i take testosterone booster like "Tribulus terresris" medicine that increase your testosterone level?. 2. If testosterone levels increase then your DHT level also increased? 3. If testosterone levels increase then your hair loss increased? Plz guide me on this issue in comment are plz make a video on this topic.waiting for your prompt response.thanks
lowered my libido and made ejaculation painful however I kept on taking it because I was desperate not to lose my hair but few months in and my nipples started to get droopy and sensitive thats when I freaked out and stopped.
2:38 sorry I disagree I have been on it since 1997 no side effects but 10 years I was out of town and ran out for about 9 days started to lose hair quickly got back on it , you can never stop taking this drug everyday

I’ve been taking finasteride for 4 months now and im shedding my thin hair drastically the past 10 day’s i can see my scalp clearly, what’s wrong doctor ? Is it normal? I read that it supposed to shed my hair but i don’t know if that much. Please an answer 😮💨

Yes this is normal! Your hair is shedding the bad hairs so that new thicker hairs can grow. Went through the same issue and freaked out, but keep pushing through and it grows back before you know it. You need to understand that you are your biggest critic. YOU will worry about it more than anyone. My hair is VERY clearly thin (you can see my scalp and hair is receding big time) but that has not had any negative affects when it comes to relationships, meeting girls, or anything at all. Just be confident and yourself. You will be just fine. I promise.
@@rayveon7022 I want you to think about it this way: if you are currently losing your hair, the longer you wait and push off treatment, the less hair you’ll be able to gain back. You need to start treatment now so that you can save as much as possible. I put it off for a long time and I regret it because if I would’ve started sooner, I would have a lot more hair… Don’t worry about the shedding process, your hair WILL grow back thicker and fuller. The shedding starts pretty quickly as in the first couple weeks you notice a lot of hair coming out and that lasts for probably month or two and then your hair grows back after that. I say a month or two because so much bad hair falls out that, by the end of month two, there’s no bad hair left… The most difficult part of treatment is the initial shock people get when they’re in the shower and they see tons of hairs on their hands when they wash their hair. I freaked out and almost stopped but you just need to keep grinding it and it all grows back thicker and fuller. When you start treatment, try to look at the situation as “ok the sooner the hairs fall out, the sooner my hair grows back.” In my previous comment I mentioned that you are your biggest critic, and it’s true. No one cares about your hair falling out. You’re getting treatment so it will come back thicker and fuller. I basically thought to myself that I needed to stop acting like a baby about it and realize that no one really cares. It never hindered me when meeting people, TRUST ME (if you know what I mean). All in all just get it through your head that you’re in a crappy situation and it is what it is. I’m right here with you and so is every other viewer. Shit happens, so make the best of it and start your treatment. Don’t worry about the shedding. The shedding stage just means it’s working.
bro see in Pioneer hair clinic banglore Dr sreedhar Reddy what he exactly told and suggested me is Vitamin tablets 3 diff Finastride tablets 1 mg twice a week for 3.5 months and stop permanently and minxodil for 8 months and stop and finally 6 prp session which I have taken 1 prp now and 5 yet to go . Mu doubt is if i stop minxo and finastride i ll loose my all hair na then why he suggested like that ...he has done 6k + surgeries but i m not using minxo and finastride now I ll go ask him again any idea about this pls tell
Yeah he’s right. It will also protect the hair you have right now. But sometimes, there are hairs very close to dying and they can be resurrected. You have to look reallt closely st your scalp to notice them. But yes. The doctor is correct.
Thanks for the video doctor , if you can help i take 1.25 every day then got after 40 days tenderness and chest pain then reduced to 3 times a week and still get same side effects then reduce to twice a week still same side effects i dont know what to do dont want to stop fina im thinking of using 1,25mg weekly but if it can be effective or no i use proscare 5mg
"For hair loss, you can expect to see some improvement after 3 to 6 months. You will usually take finasteride for a long time. It could be several months or years." Reference: www.nhs.uk/medicines/finasteride/
Proscar, Propecia and Finasteride - which is best to take for hair loss and is there any difference between them? I've been taking 5 mg of finasteride for prostate issues for almost six years without noticing any change in my hair.
Hi doctor, by tacking finasteride can it effect my bodybuilding? So as you said it convert testosterone into DHT and for bodybuilding the more testosterone is better for muscle building
Finasteride isn’t going to affect your strength or muscle mass. If you are worried about gyno that’s a different conversation. Plenty of bodybuilders pair test with fin and are just fine ( for now)
it's important to have blood work done before starting any dose of this drug in order to avoid gynecomastia, your normal estrogen levels for men should be between 10-40 pg/ml anything over the amount you are at high risk of gyno. However, even gyno can still occur if your levels are normal when you start the medication but the chances are a lot less all depends on your diet and the way your body adapts to the medication.

Dr, I’m 62 now, I’ve been taking finasteride for 9 yrs with topical minoxidil, absolutely no side effects and at my age absolutely no erection problems, I’m as horny as I was years ago, I was thinking of halving the tablet so that’s 1/2 a mill daily as studies have shown the hair count is around the same taking just .2 mill daily or even every three days, as 1 mill daily, obviously taking less would be easier on your system, what’s your views on this ? There’s also the Nocevo effect because of all the negative rubbish wrote about this
No. If you are trying for a baby or have a pregnant partner - this medicine passes into semen and can affect an unborn baby so please don’t use it without speaking to your doctor
Any clue what happens if you stop taking finasteride after period of tkaing it? Will aloppecia return, which means yous hould dedicate to the drug to life?

First you get on fin and see how you can tolerate it. There are topical fin solutions which minimize the sides. You also can take lower doses or reduce frequency. If nothing works and you can't tolerate any dose of fin without losing libido, then you just downgrade to minoxidil as the last line of defense. Minoxidil doesn't address the core issue but is more of a stimulant effect to make hair look fuller and thicker. It doesn't improve nor maintain your hair, it just maximizes whatever roots you have at the moment. Other than that the last option is to shave off. Honestly even if you go the nuclear option and do a hair transplant, the new transplanted hair will also fall out due to DHT affecting the same areas of your new roots unless you take finasteride. All hair transplant patients in any clinic are prescribed finasteride to preserve the new roots in the DHT effected scalp areas. It is absolutely fundamental, otherwise the transplant is just a waste of money and in the long run when you start losing hair in the unnatural pattern, it will look much worse that your natural hair loss does now.
@@OldboyWOW DHT doesn't affect hairs or roots in the donor areas, it affects the U shape on top of men's head which is the DHT sensitive area in most men. Therefore if you take hair roots and plant them in the DHT sensitive area, and don't take finasteride, then it's like picking a flower from soil and putting it in a vase with water. Won't be long until it will whither and die. In addition finasteride with minoxidil is the most prescribed combo. Minoxidil stimulates while finasteride fights the root of the problem. Both can be obtained topically or orally. Topical finasteride is more expensive due to extra labor and cost for compounding the solution.
Hello!! I have been using finstride since 3 months minoxidil 5 months at first when i started using minoxidil i got the results my hair stop falling and then i also started taking finstride and its been 3 months since im taking finstride and minoxidil but my hair now started to falling very badly 😢 i don't know what to do if someone know what to do then plzzzz help me.🙂
You know how hair works? You have to read the lifecycle of hair, from anagen katagen to telogen. When people have male pattern baldness, most hair are in a "limbo" state, because no new hair is coming from the root since the root is weak. By using medication, the root is then strengthened, give ways to new hair. But the new hair cannot emerge if the "limbo" hair is not falling out. Hence, people called this shedding period. In order to see if this is really the shedding period, you have to observe if there is a new hair coming. Dermatologist usually use the hair follicle count as an indicator

It's a very informational video that explain FINASTERIDE. As you said it may cause larger prostate. What if you stop taking it, will the prostate becomes smaller again? Or it's irreversible? Thank you Doctor O'Donovan.
From what I have read :
First you need to take it to know if you're going to have side effects. After you take it for 2 to 3 weeks you will know.
If you stop early it will take 1 to 2 months for your body to go back to normal.
But always remember that finasteride mostly works if you have less of side effects then just take it, it's always better then being bald. Don't worry most of men don't suffering any or at most they suffer from mild side effects.
I'm going to my dermatologist next week and starting the medication I have a bald spot at my crown and general thinning everywhere.

Hi Dr , I’m 18 years old, falls 50-70 hairs per day now ! My dad is fully bald due to genetics it’s serious ! Is it okay to use 1mg finasteride + minoxidil spray without dr prescription! Please reply me and tell me a method to stop this !
slowly start with topical minox 5percent along with change in diet try eating more protein cut off all junk ,increase your physical activity and then after 3 months start taking finasteride 1 mg 3 times in a week it would help in most cases
currently i am doing that

Hi Doctor, I have been taking 1mg finasteride everyday for over 1.5 years
And I had pretty decent results but lately I have been shedding alot of hairs and thining
Would adding 0.5 dutasteride once a week be beneficial?

Is there any problem could happen if I stopped taking it?

Good day Dr. I am experiencing my hair loss at the age of 30. How long should I continue with FINASTERIDE?
Forever
Been taking it for 6 weeks now alongside topical minoxidil. The side effect im experiencing is chest growth (man boobs), not so big but I can notice the difference. Feels a bit heavier and shaky. Apart from that, I can see improvements in my hair.
Sorry, to tell you this, but there's no way that's related to the Finasteride, lol. You are not taking it long enough yet for it to actually affect your body and "man boobs" don't grow that quickly either. Lastly, there's no way you can see improvements with your hair yet either. Give it two more months and maybe you see some improvements then.
@@mimamo fr, people mostly get paranoid after learning about possible side effects. You need at least 6 months to notice any sides.
@@mimamo drugs react different to different individual. Im actually saying what is happening to my body and hair. Humans are not the same set of machine assembled in one factory. We are all unique. Lastly, you don't need to be sorry about your opinion
@@xFlared Im just sharing my experience here. The desirable outcome is why I am on the pill in the first place and Im getting better results for my hair so will keep it going for the next few months and figure out from there.

Testosterone does not effect male pattern baldness. DHT does. Using Finasteride actually increases your testosterone, so having high T isn't relevant.
You could take 2mg a day, but studies have shown that its only a tiny bit more effective than 1mg. You can take anywhere from 0.2mg-5mg per day, and there isn't too much of an effect in effectiveness, but higher doses put you at more risk of side effects.
It's also important to note that Fin isn't supposed to grow your hair back. It main purpose is to prevent further baldness and keep your hair as it is. Only about 40% of men grow any hair back.
Hello doctor, I would like to have a question.Will the side effects continue when the drug is stopped?
No the side effect will not
After stopping finasteride side effects stop in approx 14-21 days.
Thank you for that information. I was on anxiety tablets a while ago cos something happened in my life and I noticed I couldn't sleep or ejaculate. So I gave them up but my hair is slightly going so I decided to use these tablets. I was told its called Proscar. So hopefully I won't get the same reaction as the anxiety tablets

Although rare, one possible side effect of finasteride is gynecomastia (man boobs).

More common than 1%. Most dudes won’t fess up to it doing this. Sides are probably more like 50%. That’s why it’s so searched on google.

Yes this is normal! Your hair is shedding the bad hairs so that new thicker hairs can grow. Went through the same issue and freaked out, but keep pushing through and it grows back before you know it. You need to understand that you are your biggest critic. YOU will worry about it more than anyone. My hair is VERY clearly thin (you can see my scalp and hair is receding big time) but that has not had any negative affects when it comes to relationships, meeting girls, or anything at all. Just be confident and yourself. You will be just fine. I promise.
@@JamesHardy how long was your shedding process? How long before you saw regrowth?
@@rayveon7022 I want you to think about it this way: if you are currently losing your hair, the longer you wait and push off treatment, the less hair you’ll be able to gain back. You need to start treatment now so that you can save as much as possible. I put it off for a long time and I regret it because if I would’ve started sooner, I would have a lot more hair… Don’t worry about the shedding process, your hair WILL grow back thicker and fuller. The shedding starts pretty quickly as in the first couple weeks you notice a lot of hair coming out and that lasts for probably month or two and then your hair grows back after that. I say a month or two because so much bad hair falls out that, by the end of month two, there’s no bad hair left… The most difficult part of treatment is the initial shock people get when they’re in the shower and they see tons of hairs on their hands when they wash their hair. I freaked out and almost stopped but you just need to keep grinding it and it all grows back thicker and fuller. When you start treatment, try to look at the situation as “ok the sooner the hairs fall out, the sooner my hair grows back.” In my previous comment I mentioned that you are your biggest critic, and it’s true. No one cares about your hair falling out. You’re getting treatment so it will come back thicker and fuller. I basically thought to myself that I needed to stop acting like a baby about it and realize that no one really cares. It never hindered me when meeting people, TRUST ME (if you know what I mean).
All in all just get it through your head that you’re in a crappy situation and it is what it is. I’m right here with you and so is every other viewer. Shit happens, so make the best of it and start your treatment. Don’t worry about the shedding. The shedding stage just means it’s working.
bro see in Pioneer hair clinic banglore Dr sreedhar Reddy what he exactly told and suggested me is

Yeah he’s right. It will also protect the hair you have right now.
But sometimes, there are hairs very close to dying and they can be resurrected. You have to look reallt closely st your scalp to notice them.
But yes. The doctor is correct.

Hi doctor, by tacking finasteride can it effect my bodybuilding? So as you said it convert testosterone into DHT and for bodybuilding the more testosterone is better for muscle building
I believe it effects testosterone converting into dht. I don’t believe it effects test production.
Finasteride isn’t going to affect your strength or muscle mass. If you are worried about gyno that’s a different conversation. Plenty of bodybuilders pair test with fin and are just fine ( for now)
it's important to have blood work done before starting any dose of this drug in order to avoid gynecomastia, your normal estrogen levels for men should be between 10-40 pg/ml anything over the amount you are at high risk of gyno. However, even gyno can still occur if your levels are normal when you start the medication but the chances are a lot less all depends on your diet and the way your body adapts to the medication.
Hi, how long do I need to wait for the finasteride to get into the system before urinating or defecating?
You don’t need to wait just carry on as normal

It's a life long commitment. The papers that came with mine said that if I stop taking it, all the new healthy hairs will fall out within 6-9 months.
Do alcohol has interaction with finasteride????
No, if in moderation.
These side effects are serious so how do you decide to compromise between hair loss or getting cancer, Loss of interest, erection issues, etc.?
How exacly u are getting cancer with finasteride?
First you get on fin and see how you can tolerate it. There are topical fin solutions which minimize the sides. You also can take lower doses or reduce frequency. If nothing works and you can't tolerate any dose of fin without losing libido, then you just downgrade to minoxidil as the last line of defense. Minoxidil doesn't address the core issue but is more of a stimulant effect to make hair look fuller and thicker. It doesn't improve nor maintain your hair, it just maximizes whatever roots you have at the moment. Other than that the last option is to shave off. Honestly even if you go the nuclear option and do a hair transplant, the new transplanted hair will also fall out due to DHT affecting the same areas of your new roots unless you take finasteride. All hair transplant patients in any clinic are prescribed finasteride to preserve the new roots in the DHT effected scalp areas. It is absolutely fundamental, otherwise the transplant is just a waste of money and in the long run when you start losing hair in the unnatural pattern, it will look much worse that your natural hair loss does now.
@@xFlared in hair surgery didnt they take the hairs that cannot be effected by dht? Maybe fin topical is better than minoxidil?
@@OldboyWOW DHT doesn't affect hairs or roots in the donor areas, it affects the U shape on top of men's head which is the DHT sensitive area in most men. Therefore if you take hair roots and plant them in the DHT sensitive area, and don't take finasteride, then it's like picking a flower from soil and putting it in a vase with water. Won't be long until it will whither and die. In addition finasteride with minoxidil is the most prescribed combo. Minoxidil stimulates while finasteride fights the root of the problem. Both can be obtained topically or orally. Topical finasteride is more expensive due to extra labor and cost for compounding the solution.

You know how hair works? You have to read the lifecycle of hair, from anagen katagen to telogen. When people have male pattern baldness, most hair are in a "limbo" state, because no new hair is coming from the root since the root is weak. By using medication, the root is then strengthened, give ways to new hair. But the new hair cannot emerge if the "limbo" hair is not falling out. Hence, people called this shedding period. In order to see if this is really the shedding period, you have to observe if there is a new hair coming. Dermatologist usually use the hair follicle count as an indicator
