Weekly summary - 217th week -- Do u suffer side effects?

Side effects I refer definitely is for Propecia aka Finasteride. I guess many of us known that the side effects of Propecia but how serious is the problem? Some may be just lower thier libido a bit but has no problem to have sex with his partner. Some lost the sex drive totally . Most notably is the claim of some ex Propecia user still lost their libido or unable to get back to their usual self even after 6 years they QUIT  Propecia.
Well there are two stories of two sides, from MSD (Merck) and from Propeciahelp.com, an organisation that fight for the victim of Propecia.
Story from MSD side
Only 4% of the people prescribe with Propecia suffer a mild side effects such as lower libido. It is go away once the body can tolerate with Propecia or once stop taking Propecia. So, obviously, MSD said Propecia is pretty safe.
Story from Propeciahelp
They claim you are lucky if you do not suffer from any side effects. Most of the people that took Propecia will suffer lower libido, shrinking of testicle size and penis size, watery ejaculation and so on. The most important fact hat they point out is that , the side effects that people suffer are much higher than the MSD claims. European countries put the warning of the possibility of causing permanent side effects even they stop taking the drugs outside of the box. There are lawsuit in US and Canada that is on going for the victim of Propecia.

Well, I am neutral of both claims as I think it is not as serious as Propeciahelp.com claim but it is higher than MSD claim. I would like to do a poll again to get more accurate info from you guys.

Another option is hair restoration surgery. There are two local hair restoration surgeons based in Subang Jaya at the moment.
Dr Tan and Dr Khoo who perform both Strip Method, FUE(Follicular Unit Extraction) and Biofibre hair implants.
