I took finasteride for exactly 19 days and then quit due to sexual side effects. I got my dht levels tested prior and apparently it wasn't that high. Im 24, have thinning in the crown and front of my hairline, and i lost a good 20% of my density from the shed that occurred during and after my short term usage of finasteride. Will the hair regrow? Did I make things worse? I figured it would be better to cut my losses early than continue using it for months to find the side effects don't dissipate.

Answer: Shedding from finasteride (Propecia) In general terms, some individuals experience hair shedding during the first 1-2 months of taking finasteride (Propecia, etc). If one stops, hair shedding will eventually stop and some degree of improvement will occur over the next 9-12 months.Will hair regrow 100% do the same same density as it was before? Well, this is actually a very involved question. If one is in an active phase of genetic hair loss, with lots and lots of hair follicle miniaturization and lots of shedding to begin with, then the genetic hair loss can progress over the 9 months one is waiting for the hair to 'come back'. The result will be that the individual does NOT regrow hair to the same degree as 12 months prior (the genetic hair loss progressed). Also, if one sheds a lot of very small, thin hairs (miniaturized) hairs, then they make not all regrow.Be sure to speak to your prescriber about specific details. ANYtime ANYbody with androgenetic hair loss (be that male or female) experiences significant shedding, there remains a possibility that hair will NOT completely regrow.

Answer: Hair loss treatment one of the FDA approved medications for hair loss is propecia. It mostly effects the crown area. You may see some hair growth but it's mostly used for decreasing future hair loss. However it does carry with it slot of side effects،if you are young and experiencing the side effect, you should stop it. You may lose some hair initially but some Of them may come back. I suggest starting on rogaine, vitamins and laser, they may help with your sudden shedding.
