Hello dear,
Since you are giving history of hair fall with irregular menses, you will need a hormonal workup to rule out any hormonal imbalance. If it is found then you will need treatment for the same. Minoxidil increases hair fall initially as it causes the non growing hair to fall out and new hair to grow from the same hair root. You will have to continue with it and should see new hair growth in 3-4 months time.
