  Before that wasted a lot of $ near $1k on some bogus products
  
  Now my hair have started to grow back
  
  Before that everytime I looked at a mirror...my head got a shining "glow"

  Any doctors to recommend mah? I'm thinking to go 8-11 Clinic & Surgery at Yishun.

  hmm.. i think most docs will recommend hair tonics which contain minoxidil.. you can find that at pharmacy..
  
  i personally went to Beijing 101 for hair treatment before.. not too bad and unlike some others who stereotyped them.. speaking from experience la.. you gotta try it then you will know..

  Propecia dun anyhow take....
  
  may give u grow tender breasts, and if u are married, have to take precautions not to make ur wife pregnant as it can cause deformities....

  it may only cause deformities if pregnant woman takes them.
  
  the common side effects r only
  • a decreased desire for sex,
  • impotence,
  • a decrease in semen production
  
  Those who took it, care to share ur experiences?

  i almost had your problem once.....maybe becos its due to some malnourishment.......in some vitamins......b6 and b12.........and you should try some tonics for your hair and some hair medications...........actually its okay to bald when growing old........i think its normal.........well not to be too insulting though.........if hair is impt.....then you should seek medical help.
