I would do a good family tree in your family. Men and women. Rogaine must be used the rest of your life which is expensive. I did some of the early work on Minoxidil pills for severe HBP. It grows hair EVERYWHERE except where you want it. Some look like the Wolfman in early stages of changing. Most did not like this side effect.
