Using Propecia for the first time. What to expect?

propecia-5Being around 30 and suffering from hair loss can be a devastating blow to any man. Fortunately, if you are experiencing this problem, it does not have to end with you being completely bald before you turn 40. How?

Thanks to a drug Propecia, millions of people suffering from hair loss have stopped this process and have retained their hair and even started growing new hair.

Propecia is a brand name for a drug called Finasteride. At first, it was meant for use in treatment of prostate cancer for people over 50. However, after seeing that it can also be effective in treating hair loss, the developers of this drug have started a long journey making a drug that can help against hair loss. And with Propecia, they have hit a jack-pot.

You have to realize, however, the fact that Propecia does not cure hair loss, it only treats it. If you ever stop taking Propecia, you risk that this problem comes back, no matter how long you’ve used it before that.

Propecia can’t be used for treating every kind of hair loss. In fact, what it does treat is a condition that is known as Male Pattern Baldness or MPB for short. This condition, which is limited to just men is easily recognizable by the pattern it follows on your head. It starts on the top of your scalp and then it continues toward the sides and the back of your head. MPB is caused by a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. This hormone attaches itself to the hair follicles, causing them to shrink as a result of the lack of blood. DHT is created when testosterone comes in contact with 5-alpha-reductase enzyme and so the job of Propecia is to inhibit this enzyme and thus prevent the creation of DHT.

propecia-6Before you start taking Propecia, it is very important that you talk with your doctor about it. The side effects are probably the biggest problem about it. Although they are very rare, they can be quite troublesome. According to one two year study, 1.8% of men taking Propecia in that time suffered from decrease in their sexual desire, 1.3% had problems with their erection and 1.2% had a decrease in the volume of semen that they could ejaculate. As you can see, these sided effects are rare, but definitely not to be ignored. Discontinuing the usage of Propecia will fix this problem in about a week or so. Unfortunately, this can also mean that your problem will re-emerge.

Even though Propecia was approved by the FDA after years of trials and tests, long term effects of this drug are still largely unknown. This can be alarming, especially for someone young who is suffering from MPB and has to take this drug for years or even decades to come. What effect will it have on him during that time? No one can say for sure. All we can do is wait and see the consequences of taking this drug.

In some period of life, most of the men will experience problem of losing their hair. Considering this, we can say there are a lot of potential buyers for this kind of medicines. The fact that there are so many buyers causes the appearance of many untested and unwarranted medicines sold by questionable companies. Some of these medicines will have more and some of them will have less success in treatment of your problem of hair loss.

The biggest problem is that some of these products can effect your health in negative way, and then you can end up with much bigger health issues than the hair loss. You should be aware of this before you start using any of the products offered on the market. The most important thing is to be sure what are you buying and who you are baying your medicine from.

Prevent hair loss with Propecia

propecia-1One of the most common problems that men can have is the loss of hair on their head. There could be dozens of reasons for hair loss. Some can be attributed to stress, others to extremely high levels of certain hormones, third to things like chemotherapy, and so on. But the biggest reason for hair loss lies in our genes. This means, if our father or grandfather has started to get bold early, we also have a high chance of losing hair.

To make matters worse, where other people would normally lose their hair as a consequence of old age in their 50’s or 60’s, some people start losing hair in their 30’s. You can see how this can be a problem. This is a time when we really start to live our lives. Fortunately, there is a good way to prevent this and it is called Propecia.

I have said “prevent” for a good reason. Propecia does not heal hair loss. It can, however help a a certain percentage of men to re-grow their hair. This is mainly caused by the increase of male hormone we know better as testosterone. So, while you are taking this drug, you can expect not only that it stops hair loss, but also to reverse this effect. However, Propecia can only help you as long as you are taking it. 6-12 months after you stop taking it, you will start losing your hair all over again.

Propecia is meant to be used by men only. Women who try to use it can sense dangerous side effects and in case they are pregnant, this could lead to added problems concerning the baby. Also, you need to consult with your doctor about your medical history and determine if there is any reason why you should not take this drug. Above all, do not take it if you are allergic to Finasteride, which is just a generic name for this medicine.

propecia-2However, there are some negative effects that can be caused by Propecia. Namely, it can cause abnormal ejaculation or sexual function, lower volume of ejaculation, erectile dysfunction or even impotence. Only 2% of all people who use Propecia suffer from from these any of these problems, except for impotence, which go as high as 18%. A big problem can be that some of these negative effects may not go away, even after you stop taking this drug.

There you go. Propecia can really do wonders when it comes to hair loss prevention. To those that are really bothered by this problem it can give a massive confidence boost and practically get them rid of any kind of depression they could be feeling as a result of their hair growing tin. However, it does have its negative effects and a lot of people have opted that a few hairs lost is a smaller problem than this and have decided not to use Propecia. The final choice is, of course, entirely up to you.
