Hey guys,
So I'd really like your advice on what you think I should do. I've posted some pics so you guys can see where I'm coming from with regards to my hair loss and how bad you think it is/will get if left untreated. For a few months now I've noticed that my hair at the back, and a little at the front, has really started to thin out. This has been compounded with some pretty extreme shedding when I'm in the shower. It seems like every time I shower and wash my hair and look at my hands there's like 50 hairs each time. Also, my hair has gotten really itchy the past few months, something that I never had before. I don't know if that has something to do with the hair loss though.
Here's where I'm not sure what to do. I did in fact get a prescription for Proscar and started taking it. I took it for about a week but developed some side effects like watery semen, and it seemed like it was more difficult to get an erection, and that it was softer too, so I quickly stopped taking the pills. I tripped out and stopped taking the pills, and now with more hair loss occurring, I'm not sure whether I should have stayed on or not. Reading propeciahelp certainly didn't help, and it just scared me even more! Should I start taking Proscar again? I'm not sure if the side effects would have gone away after my body got used to the pill, but I stopped taking it after a week. Should I stay on it longer and see if the side effects go away this time after a few weeks use? I just don't know if it's worth it.
Anyways, your advice would be appreciated and here's some pics:
