Skin flora is the key

General Discussion
#1

Have you ever noticed that people with PFS …

(1) lost body odor
(2) sweat less
(3) have dry skin
(4) not produce ear wax
(5) the penis has no characteristic odor

I think that finasteride can induce a reduction in bacterial skin flora. The skin loses protection. When bathing, all chemical compounds in soaps and shampoos enter the bloodstream. This causes a hormonal imbalance, gastrointestinal, affects memory, sleep, causes depression, anxiety.

Experience after a few days without showering(and taking probiotics), I noticed an improvement. I’m not saying to stop bathing. I’m raising a suspicion about the possible cause of post finasteride syndrome. I think the cause may be the skin.

I will reduce the amount of baths, eliminate the use of all chemicals with skin, wash dishes, soaps, deodorants, shampoos. I’ll do this until the skin begins to produce oil and odor.

may think I’m crazy, but the solution may lie in the simplest things.

I feel sorry for you.

#3

I think that finasteride is making you feel like a woman. feel sorry? :laughing:

#4

Backfromhell, my side effects occurred immediately after my final pill. Some people are affected after one pill.

#5

Ok i’ll say what i think then. You are a fucken idiot who has no idea about the way finasteride operates.

Do us all a favor and donate to the PFS foundation, because bullshit like this is so 2010.

I am sorry the way you are thinking. you will become a stinky animal.
This is due to hormonal changes.
women go through the same sides when they are affected from IUD, their LH, FSH, testosterone, DHT, progesterone etc go low. here is sample from lifeaftermirena.blogspot.ca/2008 … pdate.html
Anyway, my symptoms were fatigue, unusual body odor in spite of a fresh shower and deodorant, weight gain, puffy face, craving sweets, headaches, moodiness…the same as everyone else…

Sorry mate. This is retarded.

You took something that reduces DHT and for those suffering PFS decrease in Testosterone.

#8

This crohn’s disease is killing you. You need professional help.

I had a total recovery of testosterone. All my hormones are normal. My testicles are huge. Returned exactly as before the finasteride. I do weight training heavy lift 5 times a week and run 20km a week. I am in perfect muscle conditio. Strong like a bull. This means that PFS has nothing to do with reduced testosterone.

'm considering immune system problems too.

#10

may be is a alergic reaction due to imune system problems.

#11

for how long did you used propecia?

I have my doubts about the veracity of this information in internet. Anyone can create a profile and make up a story. Has a lot of smart people wanting to make money. be careful.

im all for the sharing of ideas on this website, but unless you can offer any sort of literature to support this - i think we’re all gonna chalk it up to another crazy idea.

do whatever you feel works for you… but you have to admit this is quite a stretch. actually - i’ll go further. it’s obviously incorrect. if you can support your idea with any piece of substancial evidence… we’re all here to listen.

Not thinking that this is right, but I think it is possible that SOME of the side effects MIGHT be explained by this theory. However, I wouldn’t think that this approach would treat the root cause, just some of the symptoms.

My skin feels bad a lot of the time, like really dry. I stopped using deodorant awhile ago. The body scrub stuff I use was really making my skin itchy, and one time I felt bloated in the gut after showering, so i switched to a bar soap. Some of the skin related symptoms have improved, but that’s it.

#14

it’s because your test - dht is low or your hormones are out of wack. ffs.

#15

For once I agree with Tim. But yeah many of us do have those symptoms… however they are more likely a result of having PFS vs a cause or cure for it.
