Topical and pills: Male pattern hair loss is irreversible once the hair root has "died". There are things to help prevent:

Finasteride pills - used for enlarged prostate and NOT without side effects/risks. These are:
enlarged breast tissue
slight incr risk of high grade prostate cancer
can affect liver

Consult with MD first!

Question 5

i am interested in trying dhea supplements for libido and erectile dysfunction. does dhea cause hair loss (which i am worried about)? what dosages would you recommend? 25mg, 50mg, etc. 32 year old male?

Accepted Answer

: That may not do anything for libido or hair loss. This is not standard treatment for those things. Knowing why you have poor libido is important. A virtual visit with a physician would be a good idea.

Question 6

i am 28 years old male. facing male pattern hair loss from last two years. need to know what medication need to be taken to avoid hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Several options: In addition to the Minoxidil which i see that you are using, you may try Propecia / finasteride. There are also surgical options. Or you may decide instead to embrace your masculinity and genetic heritage and opt for no treatment. You're a man, and looking good is 95% physical fitness, which unlike hair restorers actually makes you healthier. Photo guy isn't complaining. Best wishes.

Question 7

i am 18 years old male and am facing severe hair loss. i do masturbate once or twice a week. what might be the possible reasons?

Accepted Answer

Probably genetic: Depending on the pattern of your hair loss, it is  either genetic or caused by an underlying health problem.  Masturbation will have nothing to do with hair loss.  If your front hairline is receding and/or the crown is thinning, you have genetic hair loss and should visit a hair loss specialist.  If you are losing all over your head, see your family doctor for tests.
