This is not uncommon, an increased sex drive and water semen. Most of the guys have a focus on loss of libido, not what you are getting.
Increase sex drive on finasteride (from Reddit)
I have seen this in a few patients. People only usually complain if the reverse is true, so most of my patients who have this side effect don’t volunteer it unless I probe it. It is important for you to bring your story forward. Thanks

If I Increase My Minoxidil to 10%, Will I Grow Facial Hair?
I Increased the Dose of Minoxidil from 2% to the 5% Solution, and Now Have Flushing in My Face
Minoxidil is an antihypertensive medication and can cause flushing in the face. The flushing can also be an allergic reaction. See your doctor, or reduce the dose back to the 2% and see what happens.

In Turkey, the surgeon supervises the FUE
a little more info about the doctor, he’s from Istanbul/Turkey. even though he has license, his assistants will do the actual operation while he supervises. do you think this is a huge red flag? most hair clinics in Turkey operate in the same way and there are so many of them to choose from.
The question is really is he really over-viewing the surgery and the details of how it is being done, Who determines the distribution of the FUE grafts as they are taken out one-by-one. I’l bet he is not involved in that level of granularity and that is where the problems arise with the terrible photos I posted here: https://baldingblog.com/?s=over-harvested+photo . In my office, only the surgeon is doing the FUE so 100% of the decision are made by the surgeon as each graft is excised so we never they the type of problems shown in the reference here.

In the News – Young Boy with Trichotillomania
Snippet from the article:
Hair loss is a common problem that can be caused by a variety of conditions.
Imagine, though, it happening to a young boy because he pulled out his hair.
That’s what Max Sherwood of Riverdale, Iowa, had to endure. Max, 11, has trichotillomania, a psychological disorder that causes people to pull out hair from their head and other parts of the body to the extent that it causes patches of baldness.
“He started to pull out his eyebrows when he was in second grade, then he quit,” mother Candace Sherwood said. “Then, when he started fourth grade, he started to pull out his hair.”

The video that plays at the start of the article is about OCD in general, and isn’t specific to this young boy’s story. But for those curious about the disorder and the steps used to treat it, I’d recommend giving the article a read.
In the News – Woman Pulls Six Cars With Her Hair
From the very tongue-in-cheek post at automotive blog, Jalopnik:
In China, hair-pulling is, counter-intuitively to Western conventional wisdom, a male-dominated sport. This makes Zhang Tingting the Danica Patrick of the strange competition of pulling cars with her hair.

This looks painful. But… um, congratulations?

The Navghar police have registered an accidental death report in the case.
The deceased has been identified as Suparna Das, a resident of Krishna Park in Bhayender (East). Madhusudan, her husband said, “My wife used to look beautiful as she had long hair. A few months ago, she started suffering from excessive hair loss. We got her blood tests done to identify the cause. Since then, she had been very quiet.

This is a very sad story, but suicide is not uncommon in those with severe depression. When balding occurs in an unstable person who can not manage the added stress on their lives, this could be the end result. I am aware of two other such cases over the past 23 years.
In the News – Vitamin D and Calcium Together Reduce Death Risk
Snippet from the non-hair-loss article:
Older people who take vitamin D supplements along with calcium may live longer than others, according to a new review of previous studies.
The researchers looked at data regarding the vitamin D intake of more than 70,000 adults in their 60s and 70s. They found that people who took vitamin D, along with calcium supplements, were 9 percent less likely to die over a three-year period, compared with people who took neither supplement.
However, they found that taking vitamin D alone had no effect on mortality rates.
For every 151 people who took with daily vitamin D and calcium for three years, one life would be spared, according to the researchers’ calculations.

A recent article published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism suggested that taking vitamin D and calcium reduces overall fracture rates, and as a side benefit seems to reduce overall mortality. The meta analysis was done in a pooled group of 70,528 patients. The average of the patients was 70 years old and 86% were women.
