>>19182150The best way to limit DHT production is through taking finasteride, or a stronger version known as dutatasteride, but finasteride is more than sufficient in most cases. No, it does not lower testosterone levels - in the most comprehensive study performed, users actually reported a very slight increase in testosterone levels due to testosterone no longer being converted as heavily to DHT. It's a small pill no bigger than an M&M, and you can cut it into smaller portions if you wish to manage your doses.
Side effects are rare but there are 2 that get reported most often.
1.) Brain fog.
2.) Erectile dysfunction. This is the one that concerns people the most, understandably so. The study I mentioned earlier found that 4% of users reported ED. However, of that 4%, half of them were taking a placebo and not actually using finasteride - so they were blaming their dick problems on the pill. And so of the remaining 2% on the pill, how many of them were misattributing it? Regardless, there are plenty of ways to naturally increase your circulation and sexual performance without relying on viagra, if you do somehow encounter issues, the point is that it isn't insurmountable.
We live in the pickiest, bitchiest, and most petty society in recent history. If you are balding, women will complain. Do not fall for the "just let yourself go bald", most guys look worse bald. You are not Bruce Willis or Dwayne Johnson. Being bald isn't easier either, imagine having to shave your head. I'd rather just let my hair grow and get it cut every few months. Nothing against my bald bros, but if he's posting about it here he clearly isn't cut for it.
Additionally, minoxidil will help you regrow hair in areas where you've lost it. However, regular use is required, because if you stop you will lose the hair you've regrown.
If you're curious about more I recommend checking out /fit/, there's usually a thread up and if not you can create a copy of this one there. Good luck bro.
