Amazing results, only 56 days in on big 3! (23, using dutasteride)

Castrations is when your body stops producing Testosterone. With dutasteride you're only inhibiting the conversion of T to DHT. Amazing results, if you're applying minoxidil while the wounds are still open it's going systemic at an higher % hence the better results. This is an issue, the delivery of the compounds to the follicle, if we had better vehicles I'm sure even stuff that shows that work on studies would actually work in vivo.

These results show that inhibiting DHT and minoxidil still have potential, just hope CB comes out sooner than later because I don't want to go full on NW4 or 5.

Inhibiting it loses your ability to gain muscle, can cause penile shrinkage, gyno, depression, it's chemical castration. It also regulates mood.

Sure you can slow down your hairloss, but what's the point if you are incapable of f*****g women?

Will you f*** them with your hair?

Continue to believe DHT has no purpose in the human male body.

You know you are blowing it out of proportions, the dht levels affect penis size on fetuses, not adult men age 23. Permanent ED on fina is rare and happens to men not on fina as well. Your case is very unfortunate but not very representative, and theres no way of knowing if you would have gotten erectile problems in the near future even without fina. Caution is good, thanx for reminding about potential dangers but i hope that conclusive facts will be enough next time, scaring guys to think their dick will shrink on dht inhibitors is hurting your credibility.

Chemical Castration is really more when the testicles stop producing sperm, not testosterone.
Even natal females produce testosterone in their ovaries. It is produced in the adrenal glands in both sexes. In natal males, about 5% comes from the adrenal glands, 95% from the testes.

I've been on 2.5-5mg finasteride daily, plus spironolactone and estradiol for going on 8 weeks now, and while I no longer have "morning wood", I can still perform just fine when aroused and my dick hasn't shrunk any at all.

I've been on 5mg finasteride for about 5 months & 1mg dutasteride for about 4 months.

Amazing results Tumi!


I have never seen extreme regrowth like this!


The dandruff is because your minoxidil contains high amounts of PG. You have solved this issue with nizoral but I'm not a big fan of nizoral because ketoconazole is toxic and I have had shedding that never stopped until I actually dropped it. How about getting pg free minoxidil and dropping nizoral?

Any more progress pics id really like to see and congrats!! =]

May I ask if dermarolling cut your hairs? I'm just curious, my hairs are really short though.

This thread really shows how much regrowth you can get on Avodart!

Hello all,

I'm a young 23 year old male who has been plagued by hairloss from an early age. By 19, I was pretty aware that my hairline was receding quickly. I went to a dermatologist and was proscribed propecia. After reading side effects online, I was too scared to use the drug.

Fast forward to about 2 years ago. I saw a hairloss doctor and was set on getting a hair transplant. I am very glad I did not, as I saw a run of the mill-- we want your money type doct. I think I even posted some questions here before a few years back, but couldn't find my old username.

About two months ago I was sick of not doing anything. I was sick of the fact that in about a year I had gone from thinning to almost completely bald in the front and my vertex was severely progressing. I wanted to recoup as much hair as possible. I read many non medical solutions and started there.

After a week or two of those methods, I decided to take the plunge and get dutasteride. I first started out with a script from my doctor on Advodart, and by my last fill, the script had a generic on the market (dutasteride) by TEVA. My monthly copay went from $48 to $8 which I was very happy about. I purchased a 6month supply of Kirkland brand Minoxidil from Costco (manufactured by the same company as rogaine). I did this for a few weeks, when I ready about Nizoral. I purchased the OTC version. Last time at the Doctor, I asked for script for the 2% and I was able to get that with only a $4 copay (yay! cheap and stronger nizoral).

What you are going to see is a very dramatic change. The changes shown are after only 56 days of treatment, nizoral was about 2-3 weeks after Rogaine and dutasteride. I have a derma-roller and have used it about 5-6 times. I just use it once on the weekends, and still apply minoxidil after. I am so ecstatic, I am probably going to start a blog outlining my progress. I have about 150 pictures so far outlining the progress.

Keep in mind the starting pictures were taken with a front facing camera, which is why they were grainy. I quickly realized the best method of pics, which you will see in all future photos.

Side Effects:I did start getting dandruff from Minoxidil, but the nizoral resolves that. I also use about a 3 month supple in a 2 month window. (more than suggested). I am taking one .5mg of Dutasteride each day. For the first two to three weeks I noticed some ball ache (like light blueballs, mild headache in the balls). This has since disappeared. I haven't noticed any sexual side effects, I can still perform 3+ times daily. I realistically do not get any acne anymore. Each month I used to get a few zits, but I don't get anything now. I may have had 1 zit in the past 2 months and it was a sweat zit at the hat line. This was awesome for me!!

Some people note less body hair. I haven't really noticed that, but I can say my beard appears to be growing in more full than before.

My suggestion to any young man like myself: do not let this take over your life. My biggest regret was not starting a treatment sooner. I hope to get back most of what I lost, but the earlier you start, the better your chances!! Do not make the mistake of giving up or let the overly negative hairloss community sway you into believing there is nothing you can do.. because you can! Here is proof!

The black spot is a identifying tattoo covered.

Note: I will not entertain the negative crowd and/or respond. Lets act like adults.

Great progress. Any updates

Would love some updates.

Guys here is a pic comparison. The pic with the most hair is 92 days in on the regiment.

Those are pretty amazing results for returning from being skin bald. I wonder if the OP will ever come back for an update?

I'm going to stop implying things at this point, but consider me living across from the NIH -- my potential occupation and what resources I have available to me. Not sure why you are evening discussing Propecia in my thread, as well as leaflet literature with no references. I do not take Propecia and it is not part of my regiment. But alas- the drug is designed to shrink your prostate after all.

Can you name any large pharma company without litigation transpiring from patients, or class actions suits?

Hey Tumi - I’d love an update on your story. Love to get the successes on dutasteride with so man GoPro stories.

I just switched to dutasteride from 4 successful years on finasteride and minoxidil. I’m 32 and wanted to take one last shot at a full set of hair so switched to dutasteride and added PRP. I’ve been shedding a lot and it has made me nervous like I’m not responding to dutasteride like I did finasteride.

Hope you’re still having success.

Growing hair is awesome but the sad part is these drugs always keep you wanting more when your progress stops
