Re: Hair Loss, causes and treatment?

I got the idea doctors can't really say for sure what causes women's hair loss. There are conflicting ideas out there. I've had chronic telogen effluvium (shedding a bunch every few months) and some pattern loss on the temples and crown for the past 5 years or so. I've had some improvement with minoxidil 5%. My temples have filled in and I haven't had any shedding periods since I've been on it.

I wish I'd started it earlier-- it really worked well on the most recent loss, not so well on the older loss. I'm going to see how I do for a few months then consider adding an anti-androgen.
