I am taking Propecia for two months for aggressive male pattern baldness at 23(Norwood 3 approaching) .. It has restricted my hair loss.. Want to continue the medication.. I have normal morning erections..but libido has decreased..want to be on the medication for atleast one year..
Answer: Propecia side effects If the side effect you are experiencing is minimal and tolerable I would suggest continuing the Propecia.It is not unusual for the side effects to diminish after several months but if they escalate or become intolerable than I would recommend stopping the medication.

Answer: Side effects of Propecia/finasteride If you are comfortable with slightly reduced libido and no other side effect knowing that Propecia is helping you to keep the hair you have, then the decision is easy. Look at it this way, you are young with many years ahead of you to progress to a higher Norwood class (more hair loss), and if a medication with one tolerable side effect is helping you maintain your hair then I think you have your answer. Make sure you follow up periodically with a hair restoration surgeon every year or two as new FDA approved medications for hair loss may eventually come to market.

Answer: Propecia and Side Effects About 5% of patients have issues with Propecia. I do not prescribe it for young males as when there are side effects they are devastating and it takes months to recover. I do recommend Minoxidil and PRP.

Answer: Finasteride: should I continue? There is no yes or no answer here. However the right answer for you can be answered after reviewing your full story with a physician. For many men with aggressive balding in the 20s the answer will end up being yes. Finasteride is the only medication that can have a dramatic effect on the progression of balding into the 30s and 40s.
