A user is trying fluridil/topilutamide for hair loss and experiencing side effects like pain in the testicles and genital discomfort. They previously had adverse effects with finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841, and are considering other treatments like topical dutasteride and spironolactone for maintenance before a hair transplant.

A 30-year-old man experienced significant hair regrowth and improved libido after using finasteride and dutasteride for androgenetic alopecia, with no adverse effects. He plans to reduce dutasteride dosage when trying to conceive and has been using topical minoxidil since 2015.

User discusses using finasteride, ketoconazole, fish oil, nettle root, saw palmetto, emu oil, and plans to start minoxidil for hair loss. They report maintaining hair with minor side effects like slightly lower libido and watery semen.

The conversation discusses the idea of naturally lowering testosterone levels to potentially reduce DHT and help with hair loss, though it is speculative and not tested by the original poster. Participants suggest using treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, or RU58841 instead, as they directly target DHT without reducing testosterone.

A user experienced a hard lump under their nipple and increased hair loss after four months of finasteride. They are concerned about the lump and plan to stop the treatment.

A 38-year-old man reports positive results using topical Minoxidil 5% and infrared therapy for hair regrowth over four months, along with Saw Palmetto and Pumpkin Seed Oil supplements. Others suggest adding Finasteride for better maintenance and discuss the role of DHT blockers.

The user experienced significant hair regrowth using Rogaine foam, microneedling, Nizoral, liquid minoxidil, and topical finasteride over two years, with most progress in the last six months. They plan to evaluate their progress in the fall and consider a hair transplant if needed.

A user had their first dutasteride mesotherapy session in Spain to recover hair on the temple area, with plans for monthly sessions and continued use of topical Minoxidil. If no results are seen in 8 months, they will switch to oral Minoxidil and finasteride.

A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.

A dermatologist refused to prescribe finasteride due to concerns about recent research linking it to male breast cancer, suggesting a topical alternative with minoxidil instead. The user is advised to seek a second opinion, as the evidence for such risks is inconclusive and the dermatologist's reasoning seems questionable.
