Should i take Finasteride and Minoxidil now or wait for few months thinking its Telogen Effluvium?
All of a sudden in oct and nov 2018, i use to see 100+ hairs while oiling. in Nov and Dec 2018 family, friends and many people noticed my diffuse hair thinning. now, Jan 2019, head looking same, and 30-60 hairs while oiling once a day, which looks like somewhat normal. (normal hair loss per day and hair loss while oiling has lots of difference
)
Actually I started noticing very little less decline in hair density from year 19 (2 years ago), but no one including family and friends were agreeing that my hair is not normal. I also remember that my hair density was little low and hair shafts are thin from childhood, but no problem with hair styling.
At first, i thought it is androgenetic alopecia because out of 50-70 hairs while oiling, around 10 hair were miniaturized hairs(this minute hairs, i used to see this from childhood) & people use to say 99% of cause of men hair loss is Androgenetic Alopecia. But my hair line is just like when i was 10 year old(NW0). and hairs in temple is not miniaturized. Then i thought it is DUPA, I checked all photos of people with DUPA, they all have NW1 or NW2 with diffuse thinning all over head, i found no one with NW0 + diffuse thinning.
Now its hard to accept if i have Androgenetic Alopecia and go with finasteride, i never went to doctor/specialist because i saw their reviews(of top few hair clinic of city) and got to know that many people were prescribed with Finasteride and their problem becoming worst and I also saw doctor saying 99.99% men hair fall is due to DHT.
now there not a little improvement in hair growth + looks like little more shredded from 2 months. dont know the cause.
Anyone have idea about the causes for my hair loss type?
I would be happy if it looked like NW1 or NW2 because i can go with finasteride and save my hair.
1. I was getting angry and over reacting to in all situations. less social. broken windows, TV, mobile, etc while i'm angry(from school days). sexual function are active.
2. Daily exercise from 4+ years. daily eggs + good food. (im veg, only eggs)
3. From 1 week taking biotin 10mg, zinc 10mg, iron 15mg, folic acid 200mcg, evion(vit e) 200mg. herbal hair cream with bringaraja, amla, grap seed extract from 1 month. hair loss mild shampoo daily + ketokonazol 2% shampoo once a week from one month.
4. no dandruff, no itching.
5. no symptoms of underactive throid, less/more T, less/more DHT, or more prolactin. But mood swings from many months.
6. no history of family baldness. my cousins, my mom and dad's cousins(plenty of them who meet in marriages) and their sons. some of them are blad at 60s, but they became bald after 40 or 50 as per my parents.
7. nofap from just 5 days.
8. working in front of computer for 12+ hours from 7 months in home.
9. no body fat from childhood. 4 packs visible.
10. bulk pimples appearing stopped 5-6 months ago.
11. no stressful events from a year. but extreme angry is there from many years which turn into stress for that full day, once or twice a week.
12. its looking like problem is not solving and increasing in slow rate which is like male pattern baldness
My next step: wait for 2 more months till feb 28th with vitamins/nutrients/stress management/cardio/head massage.
I was lurking this forum from last 30 days, i didnt like to mess up forum posting same problems many people post here. I'm now stuck in decision whether to take finasteride+minoxidil or just vitamins/nutrients/stress management. I will appreciate your help and I will try to help people here with knowledge i have.
