I was not lossing hairs before but they were thin so my doctor gives me minioxdil but my initial shed does not stop till 4 month so I stopped it but after stopping also I am continuing lossing my hairs why so ?? I know it is due to minioxdil because I have not taken any other medicine for hairs nor I have pcod PCOS problems and before minioxdil there was no hairfall now I am shedding a lot daily I don't need any harmone therapy as there is no other disturbance in my body please tell me what should I do

It's initial period..but specific medicine required depends on the grade...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Any local therapy alone will not control hair loss.Hais shedding after minoxidil stoppage is for 10 week only. In your case internal factors leading to hair loss needs to be thoroughly investigated. Go for online consultations with practo

Yes. Minoxidil initially causes hairloss. But if it continues better stop using and start with a good serum
