My Hair Started Rapidly Thinning in My Mid-40s

Hi Doctor

I am male age 47 and my hair has been thinning very very rapidly over the last 5 months. Prior to this I just had normal daily hair loss which was unnoticeable. Is this normal at age 47 and also do you think propecia will grow back my hair given that i’m 47

Thank you

I am unclear as to why you are losing your hair so rapidly. What you’re describing is not usual, but certainly male pattern baldness is a possibility. Medications such as Propecia may help, but that is ONLY if you have androgenic (male pattern) balding. You need a good examination and a diagnosis before thinking of treatment options.
