Hi, I am a 32-year-old white male, with a BMI of 29. My personal life was dominated by men, most of them older than 40. My wife had a family and an older brother (he was 32) at that time and we were both married for two years. On my first year I decided to be a mother and my husband and my parents both had been married for a long time. I was going to start losing weight (we were both overweight) and started dating again. I went from having about 20 pounds when I was trying to get pregnant to a lot more pounds in two years. I had no idea my BMI was so low and was just hoping it wasn’t too big for me to have a son. I started trying different medications (like Propecia or Finasteride) that were both prescription and ineffective as a result. It was very hard to talk about it and it was becoming a part of my life. I have since become aware of this problem and I am hoping to start a family.
I am not a healthcare professional and never had any medical issues. My insurance covers me but not my medication. My family is currently paying for my medications and the medication I use has been paid for by the insurance companies. I am a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, and I am an avid reader of crime fiction. I am very aware of the side effects that may be associated with taking the medication. My wife’s insurance doesn’t cover the medication as such. My wife and I were both diagnosed with and the medication went off the market in 2002 and was not approved by the FDA for use in treating hair loss.
I was also prescribed Finasteride which is used to treat male pattern baldness. I did not have any hair loss issues and my doctor was very reluctant to prescribe it as it was not approved for hair loss. I did have to be very careful with the dosage and how long it would take to notice any hair loss symptoms. The dosage was very low and the side effects were very minor. I was given 1mg of Finasteride and I took my first dose of Finasteride.
I have been on a lot of finasteride for some time and my hair loss symptoms are not as bad as I thought it would be. I am not a fan of this drug and have never taken any of it. I have tried to take the medication and it is very effective but I’m still having a bit of trouble with hair loss. I had been using the drug for over a year and have found that I can still get rid of my hair loss symptoms even with the use of the medication. It has worked well for me for about 10 years, but I still have some issues with it. I have also had the side effects from the medication such as reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems, and mood swings. I don’t want to see my family again because they are going through the same problems and I just want to be able to have a family now. I have also had my family members and friends call me back to tell me that there is a problem with my hair loss. I am trying to find a solution to this problem and I am so grateful to the doctors who have helped me and my wife so much.

Propecia (finasteride) is a medication used to treat hair loss in men. It is a type of drug called a male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) drug. Propecia is available in two strengths: 5mg and 10mg. Men who have taken Propecia should be aware that the lower dose (10mg) may cause side effects such as decreased sex drive and erectile problems. In some cases, men who take Propecia may experience hair loss due to an enlarged prostate or other reasons. In any case, it is important to consult a doctor before taking Propecia if you have any of the following conditions: a weakened male immune system, prostate cancer, or a family history of prostate cancer; a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); a personal or family history of prostate cancer; or if you have a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer. Men who take Propecia should also be aware that they may experience sexual side effects if they take the medication. In some cases, sexual side effects may be more likely to occur if the medication is taken with a large meal. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and not to take Propecia without the advice of your doctor. Propecia can cause side effects in some men. These side effects are usually temporary and may lessen as the body gets used to the medication. In some cases, side effects may be more likely to occur if the medication is taken with food or a drink of water. It is important to note that Propecia may not work for everyone and should not be taken if you have certain medical conditions. It is also important to talk to your doctor before taking Propecia if you are taking:

In rare cases, side effects may be more likely to occur if the medication is taken with food or a drink of water.Propecia contains a medicine called finasteride. This belongs to a group of medicinescalled Type II ‘5-alpha reductase inhibitors’.
Propecia is used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (also known as androgeneticalopecia). Propecia increases hair growth on the scalp and prevents further hair loss inmen. Men with mild to moderate, but not complete hair loss, can benefit from usingPropecia.
How does the hair on your head grow?On average your hair grows about 1 centimetre (half an inch) each month. Hair growsfrom hair follicles, which are located under your skin.
A single scalp hair grows continuously for 2-4 years (growth phase) and then stopsgrowing for 2-4 months (rest phase). After this the hair falls out. In its place a newhealthy hair begins to grow, and the cycle is repeated. The hairs on your scalp arealways in different stages of this cycle so it is normal to lose scalp hair every day.
What is male pattern hair loss?
Male pattern hair loss is a common condition in which men experience thinning of thehair on the scalp, often resulting in a receding hairline and/or balding on the top of thehead. This condition is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and aparticular hormone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
DHT causes a decrease in the growth phase and thinning of the hair (see picture). Thisleads to male pattern hair loss. These changes can start to occur in some men in their20s and become more common with age. Once hair loss has occurred over a longperiod of time, the hair may be permanently lost.

Hair grows continuously for 2-4 yearsFinasteride is used to treat male pattern hair lossFinasteride prevents the growth of hair by blocking the conversion of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to serum-types II and III, respectively. This increase in serum DHT levels oversees hair follicles that are normally located below the scalp, helping to maintain hair.
Finasteride will only cause hair loss if there are other causes than DHT levels. In men (over 50) suffering from hormonal deficiencies such as type II and IIIa excess dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is combined with DHT-containing hair (androgenetic alopecia).
Erectile dysfunction and reduced sexual ability/composition are the main causes of male pattern hair loss. Men with a history of prostate or bowel disease (including prostatectomy or other treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) or a history of alopecia are the most likely causes of this type of hair loss. DHT-containing hair loss has been shown to cause dermatitis, erythema, and psoriasis. These ingredients may also colour the hair and cause itching and/or redness.
Finasteride is not suitable for women, especially during pregnancy.
