What is causing my extreme hair loss?
Patient: my query : Im 30 now and i have a hair loss problem from past 1 year.it has become drastic this year for some reason,I had 3 times more hair than what i now have.I was ironing my hair almost on a daily basis in the past without any protection serum.But now i have stopped it.What could be the issue? Doctor: Hi, welcome to HCM,I have gone through your query and understood it well.You are suffering from androgenetic alopecia. It has both high androgen level and some genetic component.It is a progressive type of alopecia and requires aggressive treatment to stop hair fall. It takes 6-8 month to stop and regrow hair.Minoxidil is the treatment of choice. Oral finasteride, biotin supplements and volumizing shampoo is used.Hope this will help you.Thanks
