General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Krishna,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What you are experiencing hair loss could be due to 'dihydrotestosterone' (DHT), a derivative of the male hormone testosterone induced hair loss, which is common in your age group.
To overcome it, you can use regularly topical application of 5% Minoxidil twice daily along with intake of Tablet. Finasteride.
Slowly, by about 3 to 6 months, you would start appreciating the effects. The treatment you need to continue for about 2 to 5 years.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
