Cure For Hair Loss Without Side Effect Of Impotence?
Hi there! I want to ask you if ther is some good cure anti hair loss but that has not collateral effects like impotence . I ve heard that minoxidil can be a good tratement (local tratement) and has no collateral effcts the only pointless is that you have to continue to apply it twice a day for life... Or i also heard about finasteride which is going to modify testosteron and therefor has more collateral effectslike impotence.. What would you suggest me? Since i have receiding hairline and my hair seems to be thinner..

Hello.
Thanks for the query.
Vitamins are required for normal growth of hair.
Specially vit B 12 that is cobalamine and biotin is very important.
1.You can take androanagen tablet. one tablet daily.
2. please apply minoxidil 5 % solution twice daily.
This will improve your hair and also there will be regrowth.
Only thing is that it will take some time to show its effect.
Finasteride tablet is also good but there is a controversy,
regarding impotency. although most of the physicians consider it safe,
but better to avoid it.
Thank you

The symptoms mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having Androgenetic alopecia.
Also known as Male pattern baldness, it usually follows a pattern of receding hairline & is related to genetic makeup and male sex hormones.
Management includes:
1. Minoxidil preparation to be applied directly to the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles.
2. Finasteride preparations that interferes with the production of male hormone linked to baldness.
But these medications have to be used regularly under the guidance of a Dermatologist...as hair loss tends to return on stoppage of these medications.
Those cases which do not respond to medical therapy, are managed by hair transplantation.
So...it will be better to consult a Dermatologist & start treatment.
Wishing you a Good Health. Let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.
