Anyone had positive results using saw palmetto? I am 23 and at early stages of male pattern baldness and just looking to slow it down for now. I use it in conjunction with biotin, beta-sitosterole and dht blocking shampoos. Trying to avoid finasteride for now but if it gets worse over next 6 months then will definitely reconsider

Question about women in their 30’s?
You're just delaying the inevitable. Better deal with the insecurity now, you'll be better off.
Start finasteride early or you’ll regret it later on. Don’t blindly believe all the fear mongering stories on the internet about fin, do see a dermatologist and have a proper consultation about fin and it’s side effects.
Orgasms cause a hell lot of chaotic outbursts of hormones (including DHT) in any individual. In some individuals that have genetic makeup such that the hair follicles in certain areas are predisposed to shrink to their death with long term exposure to this cocktail of hormones, a reduction in the frequency of orgasms slows down the progression of male pattern baldness. In individuals that aren't cursed in terms of genetics, the follicles are completely oblivious. In some individuals, those hormone bursts result in acne. Try it yourself, stop masturbating and even consuming porn for three months and see the effects. This is the only solution that actually works. In my experience, I can instantly see the stark reduction in both acne and hair loss.
That is a myth. Those hormone spikes don’t long last enough to cause male pattern baldness. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321153.php
Another theory is that masturbation increases testosterone, which in turn increases the levels of a hormone linked to hair loss, called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). “However, a study from 2001 showed that adult males actually had an increase in testosterone levels after abstaining from masturbation for 3 weeks. This means that testosterone levels might actually rise if a person avoids ejaculating.”
Swear to God, try microneedling. Go to hairlosstalk dot com and look up the microneedling thread. I tried everything including finasteride and dutasteride. Started microneedling + minoxidil a few months ago and it's the first time I've seen real, tangible regrowth
Finasteride is poison, not worth the risk. Don't do it.

Not sure if there's a way to stop but to prolong having hair don't shampoo every day, but apply conditioner every day, shampoo once or twice in a week. Avoid products with sulfates.
I was reading this article in all seriousness till I looked at the top left and saw Dr. Batra’s
Homeopathic treatment worked for my friend. I have witnessed the change in him over the years. But keep in mind that the change is slow and does not work for everyone. But the best part is that it has no side effects so if it doesn’t work for you then you only lose money and not your libido
Did it work?
Look up those side affects first my dude. Might be better to embrace the baldness and grow a sweet beard. If you have trouble growing a beard look up minoxidil results for beard growth.
