Alright, young man, sounds like you're dealing with Androgenetic Alopecia – male pattern baldness at your tender age of 20. What a thing to start with so young! Now, tell me, what's your diet looking like? Are you eating anything that's actually good for you, or is it all junk?

Alright, alright. If you say so, I'll just take your word for it. Balding can be a real punch to the ego, can't it? Now, what about stress? Are you a worrywart or is your life all zen and roses?

I had a hunch! Stress, at your age, will just pluck those hairs out faster! Okay, tell me, are you currently taking any other medications or trying home remedies for your AGA?

Alright, young fella, considering your age, stress levels, and your concern about AGA, finasteride is indeed a common treatment. However, keep in mind that it comes with potential side effects, such as decreased libido and issues related to sexual function, which is something to think about. You should always consult with your healthcare provider before starting such medications to ensure it's safe and suitable for you.
