Propecia
The fear of hair loss grips many a man, because we know the odds are overwhelming we will not turn into a cool, suave bald guy like Patrick Stewart, and will instead wind up more like our weird Uncle Paul with his increasingly desperate comb-overs.
Thankfully, science stumbled upon an answer in Propecia, a drug invented to treat prostate problems that messes with the testosterone in your body enough to help you hang on to your hair. What could possibly go wrong?
Side effects may include ...
It's called "gynecomastia," the first four letters of which should make any man arch his eyebrow and feel wary. And with good cause, as gynecomastia means boobs. Boobs that can make milk. No, seriously.

There's got to be a Rob Schneider movie in here somewhere.
Should you worry?
Propecia is powerful sh*t; if you've seen the ads on TV you know that pregnant women aren't even allowed to touch the pills. The little bit that seeps in through the skin can mess the baby up so bad that even having a mom and a dad able to nurse couldn't save them.
Still, the odds on the man-boob thing are extremely small, which probably doesn't make the few lactating bald dudes out there feel any better. What will make them feel better is knowing that the effects are reversible and the man-boobs go away when you stop taking it. Of course, the luxuriant head of hair you grew goes away, too.

Gynocomastia affects tons and tons of dudes out there, Propecia can exacerbate it, however depending on the severity it is not "reversible"

wow that is some scary stuff. its like the dude is turning into a woman. a balding woman i suspect.

Picturing Tim with man boobs and that mop and red and whites. I'm truly messed for life now!

Somehow, I don't think the words "mental" and "Timmy" belong in the same sentence....then again, it depend on what context you're describing.
