Looking To Go Back On finasteride, Anyway To Minimise Sides?

So, about a year and a half ago, I started on finasteride, and at first I got the usual sides, weaker erections, ball ache, but those did subside after a while. But by the 3-4 month mark, I had to stop, I was beginning to develop symptoms of gyno, and a trip to the doctors confirmed that. So I came off it, and fortunately the gyno symptoms went away not long after that. The only thing I've been using to treat my hairloss is nizoral, which may I add, is ab absolute God send, the stuff is amazing. My hair always looks so much thicker after I use it. Couple that with dry shampoo on the days where I'm not washing my hair, and I usually don't look too bad.
I have started noticing things getting worse again though, and I really want to go back on finasteride at some point, I'm 23, and I'm just not ready to lose my hair yet.

Is there anything I can do to try avoid the gyno symptoms? Or at least minimise it as much as possible. I was overweight back when I started, and I still am now, so perhaps losing some weight, getting physically fit would help stop the symptoms? I'd really appreciate any advice on this.

Well, heavy exercise and things like injecting HCG should help. But there is still no guarantee to circumvent them completely.

best way to avoid sides on finasteride is by not taking it. stick to natural methods that work much better

everyone can dislike my comments but they work for me and yet if you were all happy on finasteride or dutasteride or minoxidil or whatever chemical method your trying then you wouldnt be on here talking about sides, youd be on here maybe preaching how good they are and how theyve changed your life but your not. Everyone is on here because there ways havent worked or they are noticing bad sides. Ive tried finasteride, MONOX, dutasteride, KET, PRP, AND EVEN PRAYING TO GOD.

finasteride and dutasteride worked for abit but then slowed down but the sides were that bad i had to come off and even now my libido has not come back to what it was before.

Minoxidil i was on for years and yes it works but not how anyone wants and its effects are only short lived as after a year it loses its touch and your stuck on it for life for the fear of losing everything gained whilst on it. also minoxidil gave me patchy dark circles around and under my eyes that i didnt know was even a thing till after i read up on it.

KET helped with dandruff and dry scalp but not with hair loss.

PRP hurts like f*** and expensive but again does not slow the shed down it just boosts the folliculs to help them abit. Still better than the rest as didnt experience any sides.

Things that worked for me were the natural methods with no sides and very good results, those that want to hear this will and be curious, those that are getting angry just reading this, i think god will listen to you. :)

they do, its just everyones either scared to try them or scared to give it the time whilst trying to let the thing work and do its work.

Show me the peer-reviewed meta-analyses that prove their efficacy and I believe you

INT i dont go off that i just go off what works for me, I dont need no1 to believe me either im quite happy here with my full head of hair that makes me smile enough looking at it :) but just giving advice on what you can try as its helped me and friends around me but everyone wants the facts and evidence around it.

If its scientific studies you want to find then youll always end up finding something they did on mice years ago but i didnt really go from that i just try and test on myself and work with what works for me and what dont.

Hope this helps.

You are saying that natural treatments work better than non natural treatments which is simply not true. If you are having 'success' then you never truly had male pattern baldness and/or your wishful thinking bias is playing tricks on your perception.

@INT trust me i have male pattern baldness, ive had 2 hair transplants and have been losing hair since i was 19 (now 32). i have attached these pics to show you the hair loss i was losing in the middle of my scalp, due to the front of my head being the newly transplanted hair i would not lose any from there but only the old hair behind the transplanted bit (if that makes any sense)

Here is what i was losing after my hair transplant i was still thinning really bad and had the hair loss ITCH which felt like i needed to scratch the hell out of my scalp every day.

After a transplant they dont tell you much apart from here have some biotin shampoo it will help you in the future. but what they should tell you if after care is the most important thing. I applied onion juice and ginger juice on my scalp for weeks which helped loads with the itch and practically stopped it. With regrowing i found it also helped but microneedling and peppermint and rosemerry oil helped with the regrowth and made my hair thicker and much much fuller. I know the next pic is under poor lighting and il send another after i take one but you can see its fuller and the hair length is the same so theres no tricks with combing it over.

Not trying to piss anyone off but just wanted to point i do have male pattern baldness and yes i have slowed it WAYYY down to practically having no hairs on [pillow at night and when i wash my hair i only have like 10 hairs on a bad day, 4-6 on normal days. Which is very very good.

Make a thread about your experience and what you do now.

@Pigeon I think your right, i keep jumping onto other peoples threads and maybe its annoying people. Sorry i only just joined up to this 2 weeks ago after being a watcher for years, thought its finally good to help others who were confused like me.

Thanks il make my own thread. apologies everyone.

I am combatting my finasteride sides with Brevactin. Did my first injection today all by myself. I will tell you how it goes, but before you do anything like that talk to a doctor.

Brevactin? Never heard of that. The google is also not really saying much about ti.
