Question 1

hi, what's the cause of androgenetic alopecia in female? how it's been diagnosed and treated? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: Need androgenic hormone measurements and a goo family tree.  Share with your Dr.

Question 2

aside from androgenetic alopecia, what are the likely causes of hair thinning/loss in younger women? which blood tests would be helpful in diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Stress: Assuming you have tested for thyroid disease, the most frequent cause of hair loss in younger women is stress.

Question 3

please tell me if androgenetic alopecia is reversible in women?

Accepted Answer

It can be: remember, when treating androgenic alopecia, you are fighting nature.  There are topical solutions, foams, lasers pills and even surgery (hair transplants).  You should see a dermatologist who is well educated with the treatment of hair loss. The two of you may start a treatment course that will help reverse your hair loss.

Question 4

hi doctor.
i am 27 years old male and i am suffering from androgenetic alopecia since i was 18.recently a doctor advised me to take genesis (finasteri?

Accepted Answer

It may work: Androgenic alopecia seldom starts at age 18 apart from the hairline remodeling that all guys get at that age. This Rx may help some, and there are surgical options. In the long run, your best option is to embrace your genetics, shave your head, grow some nice well-groomed facial hair, and get buffed / ripped in the gym. Nothing looks better or more masculine. Do yourself proud.

Question 5

can homeopathy cure androgenetic alopecia and what are the medicines?

Accepted Answer

It can't: If there were any cure for baldness, there would be no bald world leaders. Your physician can advise you on Minoxidil, Propecia, (finasteride) and the others, about hair transplant surgery. I'd urge you simply to get in even better physical shape. Good looks for a man is 95% physical fitness, regardless of where he does or doesn't have hair. PhotoGuy isn't complaining. It's healthy too.

Question 6

i'm a 44 yr old female with androgenetic alopecia. my trichologist recommended taking diane or yasmin. when i was younger the pill gave me severe thrush and depression so i am worried about trying again. do you recommend one more than the other?

Accepted Answer

: BE certain you have told your trichologist about that problem and follow their advice. Have you seen a Dermatologist? Recommend doing so if not.

Question 7

is it possible to acquire androgenetic alopecia in case of no history of hair loss in the family?.

Accepted Answer

Yes -- but...: I read your history. Please get over the idea that entertaining yourself had anything to do with your hair loss, and stop believing what people tell you about apple cider vinegar.  You also know that all men lose their temple hair at your age. If you've got a lot of chest hair, you may be starting androgenic alopecia even at the age of 23. You need a relationship with a patient, wise physician.

Question 8

i am suffering from androgenetic alopecia...is there any remedy to overcome this issue or are there any chances of getting my hair regrow again?

Accepted Answer

Yes: there are a number of medcations/treatments  available for androgenic ("male/female pattern baldness) and I usually refer females to Board Certified Dermatologists for diagnosis and treatment. (Rogaine containing products are most commonly used)

Hope this helps
Dr Z

Question 9

hi, i am suffering from androgenetic alopecia (severe). prescribed medication finasteride1, capixl gel, kerawash shampoo. will there be any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Well-tolerated: These medications usually don't produce any side-effects. Your options are medication, surgery, or embracing your masculinity and your genetics.  Good looks in a man is 95% physical fitness -- photoguy isn't complaining. The choice is yours.

Question 10

can spironolactone help reduce androgenetic alopecia even if my testosterone is normal? if so, what dose do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Maybe : If your alopecia is truly androgenic, then, by definition, it is driven by androgen (dht).  Spironolactone will provide blockade which may help.  Your md should give the dose.
