I know that some of you are going to comment about going to see a doctor before taking such a medication but don’t worry. I will very much go see a doctor before I take it. Now for the main post…


I’m in my late 20s but I’m one of those that suffer from early hair loss. Think Patrick Stewart and Jason Statham. I’ve taken Minoxidil before with some results but not that total restoration that I’m looking for. After some thought and hesitation, I’ve decided to take finasteride. I want to know, if you’ve taken finasteride before, what was your experience? I’ve heard that it might give you “down there” troubles. From the little research that I’ve done, it only affects about 2-3% causes if on the standard 1mg dosage.


If you haven’t noticed already, I’m a cishet man and (I might be wrong but) most of the replies are probably going to be from other cishet men. However, I also know that many trans women also take finasteride to combat alopecia so, if you’re a trans woman, don’t hesitate to leave a comment about your experience.
