User baldwarrior85 regrets not starting finasteride earlier to prevent hair loss. Others share their experiences, with some having side effects and others seeing positive results from the treatment.
Finasteride can cause sexual side effects in less than 2% of men, but these often disappear over time, even if the treatment continues. Some users report persistent side effects, while others experience no issues or only temporary ones.
The user started using minoxidil at 19 for receding temples and saw good regrowth, but experienced severe and lasting sexual side effects from finasteride. They improved their condition with pelvicfloor exercises, a healthy lifestyle, and continued using minoxidil with dermarolling, which led to further hair regrowth.
