Accepted Answer

Hair Loss: You do not have to have "hereditary problems" to be genetically predisposed to hair loss.  If you indeed have male pattern baldness, the only fda approved meds are finasteride, a pill, and Minoxidil (rogaine) which is a topical solution.  Rogaine (minoxidil) only helps hair loss on the crown area however.

Question 3

is there "real" help for hair loss for women?  2 long story. anesthesia started it. hasn't changed. i am mortified. 1/2's gone.

Accepted Answer

Lots of reasons: Go see your family doc and even get a referral to a dermatologist specializing in hair loss. First, remember that stress can lead to hair loss. Child birth & hospitalization are classic causes of stress but so is surgery. Hair eventually comes back several months later. Thyroid disease can do this too. So can too much testosterone & its derivative, dihydrotestosterone. So get tested and see derm.
