Can Sports Cause Hair Loss?

Hello, doc.

I’m a 25-year-old Chinese male. I’ve been suffering from hair loss since high school. I began to take Proscar a month ago. I have some questions:

1. Will finasteride lose some of its effect when exposed to the air? Since I currently split a pill into 4 parts.
2. I take part in sports very often like jogging, soccer. Do such sports do harm to my hair?
3. What kind of foods will help the treatment of hair loss?

Thank you for any help.

1. I do not like to give recommendations for how to manage drugs that are not the way the manufacturer engineered it to be. If I were to guess, I would keep any pills in a humidity free container if I were to do what you do.
2. Sports are not harmful for your hair. In fact, as a way of managing stress, sports may help you keep your hair healthy as stress is one of the four causes of hair loss (when the genetic defect is present).
3. The best diet is a well balanced one. Nothing magical about a good diet.
