Should I hop back on Fin? Or something else?

Wanted to get your guy’s thoughts on my situation. I’m currently 31, and initially started fin when I was 21 when I first noticed my hair loss. I had the initial ball ache and slight loss of libido, but it went away quickly. After about 6 months I decided to taper off it to not risk side effects down the road. Lo and behold I ended up getting side effects when quitting. My libido was reduced, and I lost some size downstairs. However I never went through ED issues.

It’s been about 10 years since then, my side effects seem nonexistent for the most part, and I’m considering getting back on. My hair loss has definitely progressed but much slower than I thought it would have. Not sure if this is due to my body maybe never fully recovering? My hairline and crown have a thinned a bit, but it’s still not noticeable to anyone I know, in fact I still get compliments here and there. My testosterone and free t were both in normal - high range so not sure if I should get others levels checked.

Last doctor visit, he had asked if I wanted to get a script for fin so I’m considering taking him up on the offer or perhaps oral min or maybe another treatment you guys would recommend.

Going back on fin is an option if you didn’t have major side effects. If you’re worried about sexual side effects, you could consider topical fin, which typically has fewer systemic effects. Oral min is another option and might be more powerful than topical minoxidil. Testosterone levels being normal is a good sign for reintroducing treatment without further complications.
