Hair growth aids: benefits and drawbacks

Even younger men often try to do their best to be attractive to women. When having a steady relationship, it's still important remaining confident about an ability to find another partner should this relationship end for some reason. In some culturse men are thought to look older if they are losing their hair. But is it reasonable? All men lose their hair as they get older. But if a man is forced back on to the singles market, hair loss is going to slow down the recruitment of his next partner. Unless he happens to be rich, that is. Can't think why but, somehow, rich men never seem to have a problem in finding willing women no matter how much hair they have. Since the majority of men do not have the odd million or so as pocket change, keeping up appearances becomes very important. How else is a man to ensure his genes get carried forward into the next generation unless he keeps his hair?

The usual treatment for male pattern baldness has been tested through numerous clinical trials. That's why we can say, with the usual certainty, that the drugs such as Propecia are effective. They work by preventing the change of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, i.e. it changes the way in which the male hormone system works. It's a sad fact of life that if you mess with the hormones, it can affect the sex. So, for better or worse, here come a few distressing statistics. Just over 1% of men going through the trials suffered erectile dysfunction, but up to 7% experienced some problems with ejaculation. In some, this was a volume thing, i.e. less came out which is not so bad if you don't want children. Well, it's a kind of male birth control pill...

Other men reported muscular discomfort, but only one or two men had any real pain during sex or in their testicles while "at rest". This fact is not to say that Propecia is dangerous or unsafe in any real way. Most hair growth aids are also highly effective treatment to prevent tumors in the prostate from growing into something dangerous. So, if you do start taking it, you will be safe from anything too heavy appearing in your groin. But you have to face the possibility of a terrible choice.

As it's said in the article title, if you want the looks, it can be a shame about the sex. In this aspect, Propecia is no worse than some other medications that have erectile dysfunction as a possible side effect. In reality, the percentage of men actually affected by sexual difficulties is reasonably small. But it is something you may have to face. And to great relief, this side effect from Propecia is purely temporary. After a month or so as you stop the course, you will be back to normal erectile function.
