Suggest treatment for hair fall problem
Patient: Hello Doctor, i am 28 years old male. I have been suffering from hair fall problem for last few years. I had very dense and thick hairs, but now it has reduced drastically. I consulted a doctor and she advised me to use Mintop (5%) foam as I am suffering from male pattern baldness. Kindly suggest whether this line of treatment is ok or not..is it a long term solution to the problem or not? Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Mintop 5% will help you but the results will take sometime to be seen. at least a years treatment with Mintop (minoxidil) is advisable. Combining that with PRP (platelet rejuvenation plasma) treatment is doubly beneficial. Here, the doctor takes the patients own blood, spins it in a small machine which separates plasma from RBCs and that plasma if then injected into the scalp area with very thin needles. Also, work on your nutrition level and start multivitamin supplements especially those which contain biotin.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
