Does Propecia still mess your manhood up? I read previously that guys lose their erections, and its permanent even if you stop taking it.
I took propecia for a few years and it didn't affect me in that way

Appears to be a minority of people who it does affect in this way. But like others, I personally just wouldn't risk it. As problems in that area would ruin life.

Why did you stop taking it?

One benefit of taking it is when I stopped the first time I fired the cannon I thought I was having a heart attack.

I believe the Propecia was working. I started with the Boots trial but it was quite expensive, can't remember how much exactly. After a few months, I became aware that you can buy the same product (Finasteride) a lot cheaper. Similar to me buying paracetamol rather than the brand name version

I took this for around 2-3 years, again I think it was working.

However, I just stopped caring about my hair. The only time I was ever REALLY self concious was when I still had it long-ish and the crown was thinning. People would laugh and do the old "ohhhh it's going" as if it was a big joke... but I really hated it.

I shaved all the hair off down to about a 2-3 and the crown is still thin but it looks quite decent. I still wish I had a good head of hair but I don't particularly care anymore.

Just saw that Floyd Mayweather has suddenly sprouted a full head of hair! So googled and his hair was very much gone before.

Beard and hair transplant. His Instagram indicates Turkey https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-floy...

On Harry's, the 'expert' said ‘In certain lights he does look as though he is thinning on top'. No st Mr Holmes, it's been going for ages. hehe
The picture just above the expert's quote.



Some very good transplant results on here, but I'm so used to my number 1 cut that I've had since 2019 that I wouldn't grow mine again if I had a full head of hair now. No more messing around, jump out of the shower, towel off, job jobbed. I wish I'd done it years ago instead of wasting time stressing over it thinning, and putting up with mates taking the mick.

Still keeping mine short at the moment. It is absolutely an improvement in terms of I think / worry about it much less during the day, it now doesn't really bother me if it looks thin, as it's just quite clearly a grade 1 ish and so looks pretty minimal anyway.

Occasionally it does still bug me a bit, obviously bad sunny pictures or video calls with sun in front I almost look totally bald on top which is pretty unpleasant but am at least getting a chance to get used to it!

I'd still consider a hair transplant, but in the mean time I am absolutely more content more of the time with a grade 1 than I was with longer hair.

Some great results in here, encouraging to see thumbup

My hairs really thick but receded quite badly at the front. Wouldn’t take a magic potion for it to grow back now even if there was one. Well I would but I would still cut it off every week with a zero all over.

Beard transplant. fking hell.

Either you can grow a beard or you can’t.

Beards are quite ‘in’ right now. This, as with all fashion, will turn full circle and in 5 years time he’ll be shaving it all off every morning.

Beard transplant.

My lower legs have always been quite hairless; clearly ruining my life; can’t ever wear shorts or go to a beach.

I know people are staring at them. Can anyone recommend a good surgeon. Happy to pay £10k a leg.

I wonder how many guys take the ‘magic potion’ but then won’t have the COVID vaccine.

One is completely non-essential and has some horrible side-effects for some people. One might save your life.

The reviews on Farjo seem mixed. This is a complete mindfield fue. Haven't got a clue where to go which isn't going to butcher my head or overcharge!!

Reviews will vary because it depends on the surgeon and your budget. Your results for this type of proceedure depend much on the skill of the surgeon and whether you pay for the surgeon to do both the removal and the re-insertion.

People like Mick will be able to give you advice on that.

He works out of the Manchester branch so I would call the Manchester office directly and book an appointment to talk to Mick. if Mick asks which Carl say it's a refferal from Brummie Carl who saw Dr.Lorenzo out of Madrid in Manchester 2015.

if that fails I do have his mobile number and email but you should try the front desk first.
