On finasteride alone for 6 months, no hair regrowth

I’ve been using finasteride alone for the last 6 months. Zero sides but not hair growth so far. I used dutasteride several years ago, it was a success but gave it up as I had too much testicular ache and urinating was painful because it somehow caused pressure. Do I need to use minodixil to support hair growth? I am not sure even if i used min, finasteride may not stop balding for me as it seems it didn’t do any help alone. What would be possible solution for me to try?

Extra info: I’m a diffusal thinner.

Since fin isn’t giving you regrowth, adding min could help since it boosts growth by increasing blood flow to your follicles. It might be the extra push you need. Check out The Beginner’s Guide for more options.
