You ought to see an endocrinologist and possibly a urologist as well. The endo will likely order a full hormone panel. Depending on the results he may advise you to simply wait until your body resets or perhaps you may need TRT and or HCG.

Hello

I was hoping that topical finasteride did not go systemic but the research is clear: topical application leads to the same systemic reduction in DHT as oral: If you watch MATT DOMINANCE videos, or Hair Cafe or More Plates more Dates, or the Hair Loss talk Show (ALL YOU TUBE channels) they review research studies that clearly show that DHT reduction was systemic (aka serum DHT) just as much as oral....

So, I wonder if topical finasteride simply caters to people prone to believe that they are experiencing sides from the oral...

Has anyone here experienced side effects from topical finasteride. I know Post finasteride syndrome is very rare BUT who would choose to ruin their mental and sexual health to avoid balding?

Anyone experience sides from topical finasteride?

Thank you

Hey, iam on topical finestride about last 3.5 months. Still i lose my hair. My dr. Says that continue it 6 months after no result.. We can go with oral. I have no sides from topical

Ive been on minoxidil for 6 months. It worsened for awhile -shedding phase - but now my crown has filled in!

I've been on oral finasteride for 2 months too. I'm very thankful.

You may not see results on finasteride for a year or more.... even then it's more about keeping what you have then it is regaining....it's a MAINTAINING med. Monoxio is a GAINING med.

3 weeks completely off of finasteride, erection have not returned one big in fact it got worse. I cannot have sex or masturbate not even with very high doses of Cialis or v****. I am scared as hell, ill never touch finasteride again in my life, not topical and certainly not oral. I should have stopped when I got the side effects and I should have stop even more so when they did not subside on topical. I was so depressed about my looks and my hair I thought I made a calculated low risk and apparently it was not that low after all. I also have penile pain. my mind tells me this will stay forever and that I have acquired a venous leak that does not get amorqeliated by pills which basically means that I would either get a penile implant, or accept that I will literally never have sex. I could not accept either so rn I am very depressed and suicidal about my situation. I want to schedule an appointment with my urologist to do a penile doppler US to check for fibrosis or venous leak but I hesitate because I could not take the results. if this were in fact true id probably snap and kill myself out of a reaction. hell im suicidal right now because this is so scary to me, how could I have been such an idiot. having ED for 3 months on a medication and not stopping it, only body dysmorphia and stupidity does that to someone. I could never live with the regret of being so narrow sighted I think. the pain in my penis and the fact that I have despite being on a very high dose of Cialis(something which always worked even a few months back ON finasteride) severe erectile dysfunction kind of leads me to believe or know that this is not a psychogenic form of ED. I think I have caused tissue level damage with my moronic experiment and now I might have to pay the ultimate price for it

Yes this is severe BUT it is reversible. Guy on YouTube is reversing his with hormone tests and hormone supplements.

I guarantee yours is psychogenic because you are suicidal. Most men would not be as frightened as you. But your hopelessness combined with finasteride has made you impotent.

I'm sorry....you must stop p**rn too as it may be a major factor. The penile pain is almost certainly muscle tension in that area often caused by trying to masturbate without full erection aka chronic pelvic pain disorder CPPD....I had it and I too was so afraid I was suicidal.... Sorry friend for your depression and anxiety. There is ALWAYS Hope. Go to urologist. You will see no permanent damage.

But please note: I'm at 2 months and my anxiety and depression have spiked....I suffer from anxiety and depression and take SSRI meds

So this is very possibly nothing to do with finasteride....yet this is like a low grade panic attack with brain fog.....

I need finasteride...I will get more depressed balding so I dunno what to do lol.

I guess I'll take a break, get better and then try finasteride again
