Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted October 2 Senior Member Share Posted October 2 how old are you? it is important to understand that male libido naturally goes down with age. Many guys start taking DHT blockers in their late 20's/early 30s, which is when natural lower libido often starts. So many guys blame meds for libido when it is simply nature. You aren't going to have a 21 yr old libido when you are 35, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't going to have a 21 yr old libido when you are 35, etc. im currently 37 years of age, and havent responded well to oral and topical fin, just wanted advice post hair transplant is it worth taking only oral min as a treatment... or better not doing the transplant altogether, and just accept being bald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can't tolerate finasteride without getting sexual side effects. I only use oral minoxidil and fairly recently added Saw Palmetto.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted October 3 Valued Contributor Share Posted October 3 Yes oral minoxidil has thickened my hair and my beard. However I was a Norwood 7. Where are you on the Norwood scale roughly? Can you share some pics with your eyes blacked out so we can get a better idea? 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
