1654177 tn?1319838494 The kind of diffuse hair shedding you are talking about is medication-related hair loss. Based on what I have seen and read that type of hair loss begins to abate 2 to 6 months after cessation of the med that caused it. Supplementing Biotin is frequently mentioned however I have yet to encounter anyone who can attest to the fact that it did indeed slow hair loss or promote hair growth. This is whether it is taken orally or applied topically in various hair care products.
Avatar n tn I am a 23 year old male and noticed approximately 4-5 weeks ago that I have been losing quite a bit of hair. Not in large clumps but when I run a wet hand through my hair, a good 10-20 hairs are stuck to it. If I keep running my hand through more and more keeps coming out. Although it is worst in the front it appears to be rapidly thinning everywhere. I have very thick hair so this may have been going on for longer and I may have just not realized it.
Avatar n tn Hi, Most people normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day and this amount of hair loss should not cause noticeable thinning of the scalp hair. Hair thinning and loss could be due to increased rate of shedding compared to the rate of regrowth. This could be due to: hormonal changes, poor nutrition, diseases, certain medications, infections and stress.
Avatar m tn I do not want to stop taking Propecia because it has done wonders for my hair. Propecia has halted my hair loss and has re-grown considerable amount of hair. Thus, I need to address my erection problems while still being able to take Propecia. I read that L-Arginine could help with my erectile problems and that it works similar to Viagra. Thus, I began taking L-Arginine, 1500 mg. twice a day. It has helped but it has not solved the problem.
Avatar n tn He has lots of hair now and he does not lose any more hair. However, news is floting around saying that the sexual side effect comes from propecia is sometime not reversible. Asyesterday,he stopped his medicine. I am really worried if it has done any damage to him or not. He has never been in any relationship, so he really can not tell if it has done anything to him. please read more on any medicine you take.
Avatar n tn I know going bald is hereditary, but the fact is that it starts when -the body is producing to much testosterone that is being converted into DHT -Or some other type of imbalance is causing excess DHT DHT causes hair loss I am in the exact same boat as you guys except no propecia for my hair loss I also have gynecomastia and I am awaiting my hormone test to see if there is an underlying cause.
Avatar m tn It has been a month now but my Gyno hasnt reduced, I restarted propecia as I was starting to lose hair. Also I am witnessing libido problems (I can masturbate twice a day but my erections are not fuller and penis looks like it has shrunk), The place I live is also very cold with temp at night being -2 C(Can it also been an effect?) I am thinking about starting Tamoxifene for my Gyno, so need your advice and suggestions. I am student and dont have much money.
Avatar m tn I went to a dermatologist and she put me on propecia for the hair loss. I also took a blood test and said my iron was low. But other then that I my blood was normal. Is it possible they ran certain tests on my blood and not others which maybe why I am misdiagnosed. I have a follow up in late july. I didnt have this burning sensation before i went to see my doc. And my burning scalp is not a symptom of propecia. Any ideas to what this could be? A disease?
5708852 tn?1372804931 Hi CR, Try giving up both for 8 weeks, and then see if you erections start to come back, if they do, just give up the Propecia, and accept like me your going bald, get you hair cut short, me I have a Num 1, yes that short, means you still have some hair, then shave the top, It would be the best thing for you, just don't let it get you down, become a new me with short hair. If by week 4 you start to get nocturnal erections back along with morning woods its working.

Avatar n tn About three months ago I started taking propecia because I thought my hair was falling out too young. I experienced several side effects from the drug including total loss of sex drive, difficulty maintaining erections, loss of spontaneous erections/morning erections. I stopped taking propecia within 3 weeks due to an inability to deal with these side effects. Things seemed to be slowly getting slightly better as the weeks and months progressed however now some new issues have been arising.
Avatar m tn Some dogs shed more than others. Right now I am living in a haze of dog-hair myself!! Pity me! My dog, bless her, sheds twice a year. This is natural for her, and not a sign of illness. Regular grooming will help, but it's a bit of a thankless task. You get a good handful of hair on the comb, and think that's it. Then 15 minutes later there is another handful! I just got myself a good vacuum cleaner, and have to do that chore a little more regularly than I would prefer!
Avatar f tn I am 25 year old guy.. I have hair loss. so the doctor prescribed me for propecia which i consumed last 50 days. for the first 30 days, i consumed one tablet per day and the last 20 days i consumed 2 tablets/day. I was also taking anti convolution tablet for a different reason from a different doctor for 10 days. Now i am having erectile dysfunction. So i stopped taking the pills now. Can anybody please tell me how many days it will take usually for reversing this condition?
Avatar f tn 5mg every other day for my hair. Could this be the cause? He insisted that it was NOT the Finasteride (propecia). In addition, I asked if it could be low testosterone and he claimed that it was not the issue in this case. I'm an avid bodybuilder whom exercises 5-6 days a week.
Avatar f tn t panic, it will be ok. Believe me my hair was so thin at that point especially on top. My hair is long and I just had to be patient. Probably some of your hair is about to start coming in but you can't see it yet. I have a lot of baby hair and get more all the time. You might want to try some volumizing shampoos and conditioners. Look for trial sizes so you can find one that helps. They help alot.. I also started blow drying it again to pump it up.
Avatar f tn I've noticed my lips peeling more often.. I don't shed anywhere else though except for my hair falls out lol.
Avatar n tn There isn't a dog food that I know of that will stop shedding. Shedding is the release of dead hair. Brushing on a regular basis will help, having a groom done will help, or you could have your dog shaved. ??? Some people prefer it, some dont. Thought I'd throw it out there.
Avatar n tn im 16 and i used to have alot of hair no i still do but now less and when its wet you can see the white part of my upper head, there is a history of hair loss in both my parents families, which is the best supplement to stop hair loss and get my hair back? I am thinking to try www.regrowmyhair.
Avatar f tn Hello, Apart from iron deficiency anemia, stress and telogen effluvium can also cause hair fall. It is nonscarring alopecia characterized by diffuse hair shedding, often with an acute onset. There is a chronic form also which persists for a longer duration and starts with insidious onset. Chronic telogen effluvium is hair shedding lasting longer than 6 months. Treatment consists of medications like Minoxidil, surgical approach(hair transplantation) and improvement in diet.
7378022 tn?1390751481 I have a 4 month old blonde and white Chihuahua mix who is shedding like crazy all of a sudden!... I am bathing her weekly (vets orders) with an oatmeal shampoo and brushing her, but is there anything else I can do to speed up the seasonal process and make life a little less, unmmmm.... White? LOL Thanks for replies.
Avatar n tn Not in one area but all over, as of now I have no signs of a receding hair line or bald spot. Infect now I have a lot of hair, my hairdresser told me before the I have fine hair but a lot of it (lots of follicles). My Dad has lots of hair too. But now When I run my hand thru my hair ill see anywhere from 1-5 strands of hair in my hand. In the shower I counted (Yes I counted) about 40 -55 strands. Now I know there is a hair growth cycle and in the spring and fall you loss more hair.
Avatar n tn “Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.
