Hello everyone I am a 20-year-old young man from Denmark who has started to experience recession in the temple areas. I think it started when I was about 18 years old. On Monday I am going to have a consultation with my doctor because I have thought about starting to take Finasteride I have had a consultation with a hair transplant doctor in Denmark who has told me that I suffer from MPB. However I am very scared of possible side effects. What should I do?

Answer: Finasteride and side effects? Hair restoration options
This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Yes, bloating has been reported, although it is quite rare. I recommend consultation with an experienced hair surgeon to help figure out options. As the swelling could be an allergic reaction, I recommend that you immediately stop taking the medication.
