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.

Usually after starting minoxidil initially for 15-20 days there will be more hair fall due to loss of weak vellus hair.
But don't stop. It will settle within few days and if u continue minoxidil there will be regrowth within 2-3 months definitely.
