Doctor,Slow hairloss over the years. In my early 50’s. Have noticed some rapid hairloss the last year. Though I still have what looks like a full head of hair I can definately notice a difference. Would propecia help?
And if I took propecia for a few weeks and had to quit due to side effects, would the short duration of use cause increased hairloss?
Thanks
A short run on Propecia should not impact you at all, but you said that you noticed rapid hair loss and that is why you went on the Propecia. You need a proper diagnosis, as this is an unusual observation for a 50 year old man if the cause is genetic. From there, more decisions can be made.

Dear Dr.Rassman,
I am a 20 year old male, and this year have started to notice my hair starting to slowly receed, but thinning rapidly.
I’m quite worried about this as my hair is a big part of my image! Im very conscious about my hair, and i want to keep a full, thick head of hair for as long as possible.
I have a healthy diet, but i dont think this is enough.
I have been spending time researching hair loss of late, and ive been very interested in a product called Nourkrin man, which claims to help hair loss, to stop hair thinning and to also promote hair re-growth, but its £250 and i dont want to waste that amount of money on a product that is simply going to do nothing! I have also asked my partner to buy me sea kelp, vitamin B, Iron and Zinc as from what i have researched these are all good for this problem(also good anyway to have in a diet and cheap to buy)
I would appreciate if you could please email me back to let me know what else i can do to help my hair, and about Nourkrin man. Thanks ever so much
