Hi,

I'm looking for some advice please, a bit of info about myself:

I'm 37yrs old, for the past 3yrs I've noticed my hairline recede at the sides of my temple, I would say I'm between Norwood 2 and Norwood 3.

My maternal and paternal grandfathers both had a good head of hair and my father still has most of his hair at age 61 - albeit thin and fine mostly.

I've been reading up on things, probably only for the past 3 or 4 months to see what I can do to stop further receding. I've read that the first thing to do is go on medication to halt things, where I live in the UK, there's a retailer that does an ongoing course - Boots Hair Replacement Scheme.

However, I've heard treatments can cause fertility problems. Currently my wife (same age as me) is pregnant with our first child and as we are quite old starting a family, we plan on having another child in the next year (or two max) - Therefore, I'm worried about potential side effects of these products?

Would it be ok to take products if any available? My plan was to go on the medication as soon as possible and then have Follicular Hair Transplant to bring back my hairline - does this sound ok and feasible?

Thanks for your time,

Johnny.

There are innumerable reasons for hair loss and there are few treatments that will suit you. In your case, you have to consult your doctor. After inspecting your medical history and your hair, your doctor would advice you the correct treatment.

However I would like to tell you my experience. I'm 40 and have a hair loss problem since last 5 yrs. I tried many drugs, shampoos, gels and creams and finally Propecia Finasteride worked for me. Generic Propecia contains the active ingredient Finasteride, a type II 5-alpha reductase drug that restricts the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. It certainly has some side effects. I too had experienced side effect like decreasing sexual desire in the beginning but as my body got used to it slowly, the side effect disappeared.

After year and a half, today I am satisfied with the result.

I think whatever Andy suggested is right as, there can be lot of meds and surgeries available that you can opt for to get the better treatment as, you have to look for some other options necessarily which may not affect your married life so, it is something which has to be considered as, there are some meds that you can take like propecia and rogaine which are also good and proved for better results but, you need to first consult with the doctor before taking this.

Thanks
