Hello, welcome Here i explain everything about A.A (Androgenic Alopecia) point wise 1. Androgenic alopecia or Male pattern baldness is due testosteron hormone which cause hair loss and baldness of scalp except back of scalp 2. There few treatment options which can delay the the process but final and ultimate cure is hair transplant only. 3. Being a hair transplant surgeon i always recommend to go hair transplant rather than spending the money on medicine and other things. 4. As you said you want to know other treatment plans so i mention below A) Use minoxidile 5-10% over bald or hair thinning area once in night B) Also take some multivitamine tablets once in a day C) Finasteride or dutasteride are the tablets which you can take once but it need proper guidance as higher and long duration doses of these tablets may affect sexual desire ( which is reversible after stopping the tablets) d) PRP ( platelet rich plasma) this is the small procedure in which serum is taken out from blood by centrifusing it and inject in to the scalp or dermaroller. Although as i said all above treatments can delay the process but cant give 100 % results but hair transplant is full proof method to get good and proper results.
