Hair fall problem
I have been using minoxidil since 5 years but I think I should stop it now. I started it after I was admitted to hospital for jaundice and faced severe hairfall after that. I tried stopping it a year later but faced more hairfall again and since then I haven't stopped . Now I will get married and plan a baby and I want to stop it. Now I have reduced the usage from twice daily to thrice a week. I feel after 3 years it has stopped working efficiently as it used to. So kindly help me
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.

Hello, Minoxidil has to be used on a daily basis. Also once you stop applying and restart it after long time, hairfall in first 3 months is normal.
Would recommend to start taking oral medications and procedures also.
That would definitely help.
Do a proper consult for better clarity of all the medications and procedures.
