I receive many questions each day, and because these two are both from young women with hair loss questions, I am posting both questions in this one entry. I would first have a good doctor see you and look for medical causes of hair loss (there are many). The following problems are amongst those that […]
Post-menopausal women (50% of the feml population) often develop hair loss or diffuse thinning. Finasteride works well in some of these women; however, when a pre-menopausal woman has this condition, it may not work very well. In addition, pre-menopausal women have significant risks with this drug if they become pregnant so they should not take […]

Some folks don’t respond to 5AR inhibitors and find no other option but to quit and embrace baldness instead of consider the immunologic possibility of their hairloss.

If I marry a women with genetic hair loss and I have it, will my children have it? There is no way to predict hair loss in men at this time. If you have a child now, by the time he reaches puberty, there may be a test for balding by then.
