Hello, Thank you for posting on HCM. I appreciate your concern regarding hair fall. Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, cosmetic products etc. From your description, it seems you might be having Male pattern hair loss or Androgenetic alopecia, which is due to male hormone, testosterone. The treatment you have been prescribed seems to be alright. I would suggest you to continue the treatment for 3 months months for appreciable results. Finateride can be used in selected patients after thorough counselling and checking your liver function. Finasteride, inhibits metabolism of testosterone at hair root level. It sometime leads to embarrassing side effects like impotency, decrease in semen volume but which are totally reversible on stopping the drug. I would advise you use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week. Avoid combing in wet hair and let them dry by wrapping in towel. Avoid blow dryers and hair-color/dyes. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your routine life. Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health. Thank you Dr Hardik Pitroda
