After 10 rough months on finasteride(no sides,though i gained 10kg in 1 year),i feel like finasteride shouldn't be taken if you are sedentary,because i got so fat,i have been skinny throughout my whole life,so its kinda fucked up being fat as an ectomorph. I am 5'5'' and my weight is 74kg. My ideal height should be among 60/68 max.

So,I was shedding like crazy last month,now it's slowly going away,but i was shedding so f*****g much hair,and it started after i upped my dose to 1mg(i was taking 0.5mg for 8 months and in february i started taking 1mg). But now my hair is starting to get better,and feels like its thickening up.

I won't provide photos right now,but as soon as i complete the 1y mark,i will post my progress.

It's good your starting to see progress to many people stop before any progress and end up in a worse place than when they started.

However 10kg in a year is absolutely a side effect unless something else contributed to this, so good to highlight this imo.

Makes my blood boil when young men on here post a picture with a full head of hair and the usual suspects advise them to jump on the big 3 for 'prevention' 'just incase' they develop male pattern baldness. Insanity at its finest and Instant ban if I was admin.

Glad to read that you are finally seeing some results. Finasteride can cause some increase in your adipose tissue from the slightly higher estrogen bu I remember following your original post and people had commented on your weight back then, so personally I wouldn't blame it that much. You can compare pictures if you still have them

It's not bro science to state finasteride lowers DHT / DHT is the primary male sex hormone / women have a considerably lower metabolic rate than men.

Lowering a man's primary male sex hormone will potentially increase weight, amongst many other things including reduced hairfall for SOME male pattern baldness sufferers. For others it does the opposite or nothing at all. It's good to praise finasteride when it does the job it's designed to do - relating to the prostate. Also helps some as a hairloss treatment. But you cant ignore the side effects many men have suffered.

Bro PLEASE lose weight, more weight = more aromatization = more estrogen = gyno. You know how bad gyno is? You probably have it without knowing it or will be developing it.

You're very overweight at 74kg at 5'5. I consider myself a fat *** (near obese) being 86kg at 5'11 from bulking a bit too hard.

How severe is your and your bro's gyno? Did you get gyno symptoms during finasteride?

Also, I wouldn't recommend losing 10kg in 2 months, you should aim for maximum 1kg/week (so 8kg in the 2 months), any more means loss of muscle mass.

Increase in estrogen can make it easier to gain weight, but even if that's the case, the extra fat can be removed by losing weight. I doubt your increased weight is due to hormones, you probably overate in the past year, 10kg increased in a year is nothing crazy, I gained 10kg in a few months when dirty-bulking (I don't recommend it).

Also, the less fat you have, the less T is being aromatized which lowers your estrogen and will balance stuff up. Just lose weight and you will be fine. I'm also planning to cut for 2 months and lose a max of 8kg of body weight so I'm less likely to get gyno. I would probably keep going until I'm 75kg or less and then lean bulk after.
