I agree with u partially but i still have no idea if it’s properly a dht related issue and i wont know cuz of the fact that i dont rlly notice hairfall. Ur right in the sense that i need to go to an endo. Can i get a blood test to determine some of this stuff ?
You show other symptoms. Im 99% confident.
Ok thank U i will
Youre currently in a midway process. Other facial features and harmony show me insight into your genetic markup. Pairing this with the hair loss (its functionally loss) makes the picture even clearer. Maybe @Copercel can explain he seemed to like my post and i think he knows his shit somewhat
Alr i will update u with blood test results sooner or later. For the mean while, can i just start with topical minoxidil and then potentially start with dut or fin after determining if it’s a hormonal issue? Or should i just start everything at the same time
Elaborate with the genetic makeup thing and what it has to do w my features and stuff i’m interested
Isn’t the shedding phase meant to be normal and just my hair replacing itself or some shit? I don’t see why hopping on finasteride afterwards would cause an issue
DUDE YOUR HAIR IS FALLING OUT. If its gone because of minox shedding its gone forever.
But isn’t the hair shedding thing literally a part of the process? I don’t get why it matters
Genetic Markup. Your face is a mirror of your hormonal state. I expalined yours detailed in my AI respone. It may be AI but its very well written and just extended my idea simpler. Please read it damn
I agree with you on what you said that’s why I repped, I think OP needs to listen carefully to what you said.
Because you are currently in a phase where hair follicles wont renew.
Mirin. Cool dude.
What is 5ARi and RU?
Yeah bro my response explains it all if you would JUST FUCKING READ
It doesn’t bro. My hair has been equally thin for 3 years and ur response was fundamentally flawed considering it included terms like hairfall which is something i literally do not experience idk how many times i have to fucking explain that
BECAUSE YOUR DHT IS EQUALLY HIGH THE LAST 3 YEARS BRO.
Then why has it not worsened ??? Are u saying its in some fucking limbo state of high DHT where my hair is just fucked but won’t fall any further?
Do you even realize how slow the process of balding actually takes? You will realize it too late unfortunately, we’re trying to help you
Yes, thats exactly right. Your body needs one or two levers and it will be a rapid movement of hair actually falling out.
U need to calm down a lil bit bro, otherwise ur hair might start falling too. And yeah im trying to understand what ur telling me, forgive me but not all of us are med students, so my knowledge on this stuff is very surface level hence why im asking what u perceive to be stupid questions
Alr i’ll get a blood test done within the next few days and ill update you.
Sorry. You're right. Im stressed. Exams tomorrow.
I hope you have a good journey. Update me and ill help you out if i can.
No problem bro and I appreciate the help regarding this. I’ll be sure to keep u updated and good luck with ur exams
Thanks brotherNo problem bro and I appreciate the help regarding this. I’ll be sure to keep u updated and good luck with ur exams
With a beard like that and chest hair already its not that surprising tbh. Those with a high predisposition to body hair also are more likely to have hair loss on the scalp (not always but in general). Also the ethnicities with the least hair loss (east asian, native american) are least predisposed. Men you will see also develop more body hair as they lose hair in the head. DHT sensitive people seem to be predisposed to both hair loss and body hair.
How's the weather in mumbai? still rotting like the typical 80 IQ jeet? just end yourself, your mother probably will only cry for a day and then have some relief her dipshit pajeet incel son is gone. "how is your scalp massage is going btw?" this pajeet can't even speak English. Who gave this dipshit internet access?
post a pic of what it looks like outside your window pajeet, how many thousands of jeets shitting in the street or donkeys running around
His development is not completely done, you don't know what you're talking about. The face remodels? growing 2cm in early 20s? face becoming maturer/more developed? You have no education, stay in school kiddo. This forum has basically just become a bunch of teenagers/20 year olds in a competition of who read chatgpt/wikipedia/pubmed better.
??????
fuck. it looks really bad. u should go to a doctor, because ur very young for that. u mention that u don't lose hair in the shower, and that's very weird for a case like urs where clearly the hair loss is very aggressive. now the problem with taking minoxidil is that u should take it forever; the moment u stop, u will lose everything that u gained. another important question: is baldness something that runs in your family (father or mother related)? if yes, that probably means that u're destined to be bald, but still u're very young for that.
Why in the hell would he wait till 25 for using a 5ARi
Because DHT is important and you don't want to get rid of your bodies DHT levels until you're absolutely sure it won't have side effects. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that it's not good to mess with DHT levels you're young.Why in the hell would he wait till 25 for using a 5ARi
OP probably finished puberty and if he didn’t, he doesn’t have much time left anyway. He should already hop on at 18/19 age.
He will be fine. Using a 5ARi at 19 is completely normal and he will most likely won’t have any side effects, especially if he will believe he won’t (since most side effects people get from dut/fin is nocebo).
And wtf this means
, you can’t be sure about anything, does it mean you won’t use it? No. What effects does DHT have on your body after puberty other than giving you BPH
He said he's 17, not 19. And I don't know if you know but puberty doesn't end that early for men. DHT is also important for your brain too in terms of masculinization and other things. And I do agree that a majority of people read up about PFS and convince themselves they have symptoms, but it's extremely important not to take finasteride/DHT blockers that young (especially before 20) - this is why any good doctor will be hesitant to prescribe finasteride before around 25. I myself take finasteride, and I have no negative side effects, but that's because I waited till I was older to take it when DHT had already done what it needed to do.He will be fine. Using a 5ARi at 19 is completely normal and he will most likely won’t have any side effects, especially if he will believe he won’t (since most side effects people get from dut/fin is nocebo).
And wtf this means
I hope you’re not going to say muh ED lol, happens to a very small amount of people and like I said it’s mostly not the drug itself but the a nocebo effect since people on the internet fearmonger other people that it’s a tranny drug blah blah.
Even if it will cause someone ED which is already very rare, I think being bald is worse than having an erectile-less dick.
I am not talking about now, I’m talking about what he should do in the future
The impact it has on your brain is very subtle after the age of 20, but your hairloss is extreme at that age (if you were in OP’s situation).
I think that specifically for OP’s case, he should hop on at 19 max. He should consult with his doctor tho because it might not be AGA after all and he’s just a diffuse thinner
nigga looks like my dad jflBro what
1. man made numbers don’t determine when puberty is done or not, everyone has different biological age
Good points, but even if it looks like he's done with puberty, I wouldn't necessarily say that it's 100% a fact that he IS done with puberty. Like I said DHT has effects on your brain as well. At 17 it's not fair to say that crucial hormones like DHT and test have had their full effect on his brain & body. 17 is still very young and I don't think a majority of men are fully done with puberty at 17. Maybe a minority of men are but I don't think it's wise to take anything that affects androgens/hormones before you're absolutely sure that you've had enough time growing for them to fully affect you. This is why doctors will be very hesitant to prescribe finasteride to people under 21 and honestly a lot of them won't even prescribe it until you're about 25 or so.
So would you say it’s a smart idea if I just start applying minoxidil now, and later down the line once I’m maybe 20 or smthn I start taking finasteride as well? Or do i have to start both at the same time
Don’t use fin, use dut if you’re planning at even using 5ARi at the first place
