i posted the other day about acquiring oral minoxidil in the UK, thank you for the replies all. i’m now struggling to decide which one to start with. i’m 25f, no kids yet but would like a couple in my 30s.

the only reason i don’t want to try topical is because im lazy and have depression so some days i genuinely cannot be bothered to do any skin care or hair care.

but im worried ill have heart problems or something if i start oral minoxidil, or it wont be effective after a couple of decades. how do you choose?

i’m having a pelvic MRI next week through NHS, i’m so nervous! 😟 i’ve never had an MRI before, i’m worried ill feel claustrophobic and scared.

can anyone tell me about their experience, did it go smoothly? i’ve read that sometimes they insert things too, i really hope they don’t try that for me as i have vaginismus 😭.

please can someone help me with how i can get oral
minoxidil in the UK? i’m really struggling now with my hair loss. the front of my hair is all see through and it’s embarrassing now. i can see people at work and extended family staring at my scalp!

i saw 2 dermatologists through NHS and they both declined my request for spironolactone & oral minoxidil due to my age (25f).

there is a private dermatologist near me but it’s £370 for a consultation. i’m wondering is it even worth it if she won’t prescribe the oral minoxidil or spiro either? does anyone have any experience in seeing a private dermatologist, will they prescribe it?

thanks in advance. (i have AGA diagnosed 2 months ago)

i’m getting vagina botox soon to HOPEFULLY have pain-free sex, or at least minimise the pain! 🥲the date the doctor could fit me in is actually my 2nd wedding anniversary too! but i don’t want to get my hopes up too high, just in case.

does anyone have any advice or prep tips for before botox? :) thanks in advance!!

most of my neighbours have loud dogs. from the hours of 6am-10am, some of them let their dogs in their gardens to do their business, but then don’t let them back in. this results in 3/4 dogs barking non-stop in the mornings, everyday! it can last for hours sometimes.

i don’t understand how it doesn’t drive the owners crazy? just let your poor dog inside so it can shut up😭 i feel bad for the people who work night shifts (although, i don’t think many people in my neighbourhood even work tbh)! and i feel bad for the dogs too🥲
