Brief Answer:
Treatment is to be continued life long; upload a few Images

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have taken note of your query and I have gone through it in detail.

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia, which is genetically determined patterned hair loss in males.
The treatment that you have been taking is absolutely fine and I suggest that you continue with it.

The goal of medical treatment is to arrest Or slow down further progression of hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
Therefore ideally treatment should be continued long term.

Some patients may even require a second hair transplant to cover any new bald areas that have developed over time.

I would like to know approximately how may hairs do you lose per day? less than 50, 50-100 Or more than 100 per day?
Kindly upload a few Images so that I am able to assess the severity of your hair loss

You may upload images either at "Reports Section"

Or else

You may also mail me images at YYYY@YYYY

Brief Answer:
PRP would be a more effective

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Yes it is safe to use stemoxydine however, PRP would be more effective.

A session of PRP once every 1-2 months for a total of 3-4 sessions would be required.

However, even with PRP and after the sessions are over, you need to continue with the medical treatment.

what type of diet should I follow
doctor
Answered by Dr. Dr. Kakkar (33 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
No dietary specifications

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

There are no particular dietary specifications.
Androgenetic alopecia is genetically determined and diet does'nt play any role either in its causation or progression.
However, your diet should have adequate quantity of protein in it, as hair fibre is all protein i.e keratin.
