If minoxidil didn't thicken up my hair when I wasn't on anti androgen, will it work now I'm on spironolactone? I don't want to go through another dred shed tho. It's horrible :(
Im LOST at how you're losing hair...I mean, I know women lose hair too, but if it's androgenic; it's like...WTF?

Breast cancer affects men too. I'm not sure why you're surprised by female Androgenetic Alopecia. But sadly if Androgenetic Alopecia affects as many women as men, you'll be looking at a real cure by now.

It just confuses me how Estrogen is what helps men keep their hair, yet women are filled with E & they can still lose hair:confused:

Becuause women still have small amounts of 5 AR in their bodies + some women are very sensitive to DHT. It's that simple.
