Can you do an updated video for Females Use of Finasteride? Discuss if women can have side effects like low libido, inability to climax. depression, skin aging, and bone loss. I have found no content on the internet about this.

Thank you for specifically acknowledging that women are capable of managing their contraception.

Following childbirth, I observed my hair fall but I remained calm. I acted to remedy it. I opted for a health-centered approach. I prioritized my nutrition, eating vitamin-packed foods, especially rich in Protein, Biotin. I worked out regularly and engaged in meditation for stress management. I just stayed away from styles that pull on my hair and quit using heated hair tools to minimise hair stress. I also started applying LittleExttra's Coconion shampoo, hair oil combined with a neem wood comb. The result was hair fall control and the return of my hair.

this was such an informative video - you guys are great! I got all of my curiosities answered and in such a clear & casual way I'm coming away from watching this feeling confident I understand whats going on. Super appreciate the work put in here : )

Here's the show I wanted to see. Thank you.

Hi Docs, please what brings about scalp pain and how can it be treated?...please help !!!!

Thank you for this. I wish I lived closer! You are great and I’d pick you as my doctors. I am in early stages of hair loss, my mother and her mother are both very thin. There is nothing worse than being blessed with really thick hair, only to start to lose it. Then again, at least I had a lot to begin with. Have been on minoxidil for a year and a half and am looking for more treatment options to keep what I have. I just turned 44 and only started noticing thinning at my forehead and temples about two years ago.

Accordng to "Hugh S. Taylor clinical gynaecology and endocrinology" 5mg fin is used in young women also with hirsutism and alopecia... What's your opinion doc?

Hey doctors.. what's your take on using Aminexil instead of minoxidil for women with mild AGA?

I am post menopausal for 22 years and a former sufferer of PCOS. I have had hair loss for years along with hirsutism. Both conditions are getting worse and testosterone is getting higher and higher. Would you suggest Finersteride alone for me with along with an oral contraception?

How can a scalp biopsy show 5-alpha reductase as being the culprit of hair loss? I've had 2 done and neither dermatologist mentioned this nor did the report.

I read several medical journals about finasteride for women and given that it is safe providing I am not planning to have a child and am already taking yazmin for hair loss , I now take 4mg of finasteride a day . Medical journals recommend 3-5mg for women . I’ve now been on 4mg a day for 2 months with absolutely no side effects so far . I get mine via male family members who order from an online pharmacy for me because it’s near IMPOSSIBLE to get it prescribed. I can see tiny improvement already and I only just finished my second month . It CAN help women according to medical trials … we just need a higher dose than men .

Might I add … the research in the medical journal that I found , not one single woman in that study was reported to have side effects at all. These were proper clinical trials in published academic journals. They are very easily accessible online. The issue I DID have in the past was with spironolactone . I stopped taking that 3 years ago as it was messing with my kidneys and causing other side effects . Thus far , I have had not one negative issue from taking finasteride, other than the expense of it .

Is it possible that post-finasteride syndrome is confused with the long time the drug remains on the skin? It is said that a simple dose of 1mg can remain on the skin for at least 30 days, so daily intake would lead to an over-accumulation in the body. In addition, it takes 3-6 months for the body to rid itself of the drug.

There’s different causes to hairloss. Androgens are just one of them. Check for scalp tension, inflammation, fungal infections causing itching and flakes, as well as possible other hormones off balance; stress, thyroid issues, lack of blood flow and nutritional deficiencies! It’s a lot of work but eventually you’ll find the root cause, :) Took me a lot of research to understand this. There’s a serious lack of information online and even doctors are clueless. The common blame is DHT but the truth is that it’s just one of the multiple factors that can lead to hairloss and some people don’t even have this issue and still lose tons of hair!

In fact the most improvement of hair regrowth occurs in the areas where I’ve applied an anagen serum where I see baby hairs growing.

I’m finally starting to reduce the dosage: the side effects are absolute insane in my body and it only gave me relief in the first 3 weeks of heavy dosage; I feel like I barely see any hair difference and I’m not seeing anything beyond skin side effects. If by any chance your doctor prescribe you corticoesteroides you cannot stop taking them whenever you want; you have to slowly reduce the dosage for months so that you don’t get a disease in result of the shock of your body. Very dangerous meds. Would not recommend unless you feel the terrible accute pain I felt during hair loss and even then the side effects can be intense.

Nathalie4058 hi! Contraceptives are for pre and perimenipausal women( in your case- Diane 35) and hormonal replacement therapy- HRT- is for menopausal/ postmenopausal Women). They are practically the same thing, the first ones are high- dose hormones, the second ones are low-dose hormones. So, let’s say you are on Diane 35 now, take them until The average age a woman hits menopause( around 50), then you can switch to Climen( that has the estrogen and the progestin- Cyproterone acetate) similar to Diane 35, but lower dosages- doesn’ t prevent pregnancy. In fact, no Hrt product prevents pregnancy because of the low- dose progestin in them). I hope i helped!
