Starting To Think People With Strange, Sudden Hair Fall Should Stay Away From These Meds

[djhype]

True male pattern baldness has a distinct pattern and generally follows slow course.

Sure, male pattern baldness can happen fast (a couple years), particularly at a younger age, but sudden hair fall is probably indicative of other factors, possibly several complicating factors.

In the short time I've been here I've read several accounts where people hop on these meds after abrupt hairfall hits them out of the blue and they end up losing almost all of their hair within months likely giving themselves chronic Telogen Effluvium.

Now, there may be components of male pattern baldness to their hair, but is it related to their hair fall?

For instance, I went 40 years with a full head of hair with a slight Norwood 2 hairline until this June and got hit with hairfall out of blue during a Trenbolone cycle, classic male pattern baldness induced by heavy androgens right? Not so fast. I've done steroids before with zero problems. The thinning in my hair has not effected the hairline further and is thinning mostly in a straight line down the center of my scalp looking nothing like traditional male pattern baldness. During this time I also went on two 4 day fasts as this was a cuttting cycle. Sure I may be prone to mild male pattern baldness, but other factors suggest I may also have triggered Telogen Effluvium or some other form of alopecia at the same time.

Granted my case is extreme, but I think it's potentially dangerous to go on these meds like finasteride or min which are known to induce Telogen Effluvium as they may GREATLY expediate the process of complete baldness by leading to chronic Telogen Effluvium.

IMO, Get multiple opinions, biopsies, and give things time to settle down before even considering something that may make matters considerably worse if your situation has multiple complicating factors.

TLDR, I trust my body to find it's way back to homeostasis more than I do these meds.

You may be so correct here. I had slight receding, jumped on Finasteride and oral minoxidil and now my hair is thinning to the point I can see scalp. Before these drugs I was seeing nothing more than a little receding.

Could they of actually caused or exacerbated the problem? I get a feeling the answer could actually be yes but too scared to get off because it's been two years and I don't know, maybe its saved my hair from a bigger problem happening to an extent.

But not all people have the same pattern though and some people have it very symetrical while others don't. For mez the hair line is affected pretty good with a couple of baled spots on the top and a balf spot. But my right side of head is much worse than the left.
