Title: What kind of excuse shall i tell?
Post by: georges on February 19, 2014, 04:50:38 AM
I've booked a meeting with an andrologist during March,but i would like to know what kind of excuse shall i tell so she can prescribe me antiandrogens. Because if i say that i hate my body hair,etc and act desperate about it,then i fear that she won't let me.

Are you shedding head hair? If so, that may do it. Or you could simply tell the truth.

I've just got a little bald spot (as big as this -> :embarrassed: let's say) on the top of my head,but it's not that visible...though i'm scared of hair loss because my father and uncle lost most of hair on their scalps at their late 20s. I'm 22 now,so i'm kinda scared too that in the further years i might lose hair more rapidly :(

Considering you are suppose to start as soon as you notice loss, start now.

You should ask for finasteride (Propecia).  It blocks DHT and has other anti-androgenic properties.

As i saw in google this has to do with hair loss...will it block my body hair and facial hair growth too, or at least slow them down? anybody had any experiences with it? :)

You can go on spiro or crypto (depending where you are).

Oh and telling the truth is usually the best way ;)
