Is It Possible to Bald Without Shedding? (from Reddit)
Yes, some people can recede without balding. This means that their frontal hairline may work its way back to blatant frontal balding without loss of hair elsewhere. However, sooner or later, many men will develop balding elsewhere on their scalp. If it bothers you a great deal, then a hair transplant (an FUE) can solve the problem.

Good Positive Finasteride side effects
Started Fin 2 weeks ago. Side effects:
Increased libido (which the wife loves)
Increased confidence
More energy
I’m thinking these are probably just from the feeling of actually finally doing something about my hair loss. I used to get anxious multiple times per week thinking about the fact that I’m losing my hair. I was worried about fin sides after reading the posts on here, but I’m so glad I finally took the plunge. Instead of worrying about the hair I’m losing, I feel a sense of control and confidence. No negative sides at all so far.
I have heard this quite a few times.

Poor Washing Produces Terrible Crusting (Scabbing) and Is Difficult to Hide.
Doctors should take charge of the post operative care instructions by teaching patients how to wash their hair on the very next day after surgery. By not teaching the proper technique, patients (like the one in the photo) will have to hide either under a hat or at home for a month until the crusts come off.

I Have Very Poor Growth After a Year. What Should I Do? (Photo)
By this time, I would have expected more growth than you are showing now. I recommend that you go speak to your doctor. In the discussion, your doctor should address the number of grafts that are growing, what you and he expected, and see if you can arrive at an agreement on expectations. If there is a failure of some of the grafts to grow, the doctor should make it right, especially if it was only on one side of your head, which indicates that the person placing the grafts on that side may have damaged them during the placement process.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
i have pcos, i have hair loss in the front of my skull, there are still some left but only a pathetic few. what should i do , i used to have this long black great hair. can i get it back.. thank you for your time.
Dr. Robert Bernstein (Hair Restoration Surgeon in New York) was kind enough to supply a thorough answer to this question for you…
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), originally called Stein-Leventhal disease, represents a number of conditions where ovulation is inhibited and, as a result, the ovaries become cystic and secrete more androgens than normal. The most significant of these androgens is testosterone, but other related androgens such as dihydroepiandosterone (DHEA) may be produced as well. Testosterone is converted to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). If women have a genetic predisposition to balding, this hormone will cause the follicles on the scalp to shrink (miniaturize) and eventually disappear.
There are a number of treatments for hair loss related to PCOS. The first is the drug finasteride. Although not FDA approved for women, finasteride blocks the production of DHT (this is the same medication that has been approved for treating hair loss in men under the name Propecia) and thus will decrease or reverse the process of miniaturization. Weight loss (if this is appropriate) may also be helpful as this will decrease the body’s production of testosterone. Spironolactone, a diuretic, blocks testosterone and can also be useful. Finally, birth control pills, because they contain estrogen, will lower testosterone in the blood stream and thus decrease the amount of DHT produced. Please remember that these treatments should only be used under a doctor’s supervision.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and Hair Loss
hi im 23, female and for 3 years now my hair has gradually become noticly thin all over my head i have been told by a dermatologist my scalp is ok and that my hair has only thinned out due to stress but i feel its through dht, as my hair falls out from the root and regrows finner especailly the sides where it was effected first. my hair around the sides of my head to the back of my ears look near enough bald now even though theres hair there. please HELP i feel like i cant cope with my hair loss its effecting my life so much im highly thinking about taking propecia cause my hair is so important to me i dont wont to where a wig the thought of it makes me sick. please note i have polycistic overies and have been told that can cause thinning of the hair, i have also had alot of blood tests except dht which have all come back normal once again pease help me. regards kelly. x
ps, the loss of my hair has caused me to look so unatractive, and was applying to be a model but i now feel it can only be a dream. i wish and wish for a mirical every day.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) can produce some masculine hormonal changes, including hair loss on the scalp and hair growth in areas like the face (i.e. upper lip) and some body hair growth. You need to get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to outline just what is happening to your scalp hair, where on the head it is happening, and to what degree. Drugs like finasteride (Propecia) may work, but if you should become pregnant on this drug, there is a likelihood that your child will develop abnormal sexual characteristics like hermaphroditic changes. There is a report in the literature that women with PCOS and hair loss have been helped by finasteride, but be warned not to get pregnant if you go that route. The metrics obtained with mapping of your scalp hair will show the value of any treatment modality, therefore it is critical to get the measurements in hand before any treatment is started. With that positive note, you probably have genetic female hair loss which can impact the course of treatments as well, and just like men with hair loss and finasteride treatments, there are no guarantees that it can work. Any approach to this requires a really good doctor to manage your hormonal problems.

Politician Declines to Campaign Due to Baldness
A reader sent us an article on Huffington Post. Take it with a bit of sense of humor but there really have not been many bald presidents considering that about 50% of the male population has some degree of balding.
