Aldactone and Shock Loss in Women

Hello. I am a 30 year old female and have been suffering from hair loss since my early teens. I FINALLY found a compassionate dermatologist who did a scalp biopsy and I was diagnosed with female patterned baldness. I have had a consultation at (name with-held) and I am concerned with Shock Loss. I am currently on Aldactone (prescribed by my dermatologist) and would like to know if this helps prevent shock loss as Propecia does and also what are the chances of shock loss in women.

We don’t know the answer to that, because the medication has never been studied for this purpose, to my knowledge. Hair transplants in women with female genetic hair loss have limited application if the hair around the sides and back of the head is diffusely involved in the process of miniaturization. Be sure that the goals are well defined and that the donor hair that is being used is healthy for if it is not, there may not be value in the surgery.
