Suggest Treatment For Male Pattern Baldness

My husband is taking Propecia for male pattern baldness and he s very pleased with the results. However, we are thinking of trying to start a family in the near future. I ve read the information about women who are pregnantor might become pregnant not handling the tablets as they can cause birth defects in male fetuses, but does anyone know whether there is any evidence that just my husband being on the medication could cause any problems for a developing baby?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of male pattern baldness which is due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones leading to destruction of hair follicles. It could be due to genetic factors and poor nutritional hygiene as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do application of 2% Mintop lotion and massage it in proper way. I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get complete examination done and start treatment after proper examination. You should take Biotin and Multivitamin supplements and take Finasteride orally. Massage your scalp with warm coconut oil. Maintain proper hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
