Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am a 21 year old female. I have been experiencing hair loss, especially along my hairline on the left side of my head. On another part of my head I have very oily hair even after shampooing- it will not go away. Possibly unrelated, I have not had a menstrual cycle in 4 years. What is this?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to Polycystic ovarian disease. This can cause increased male hormones and hair loss. Ultrasound examination of abdomen will be helpful to rule out this. Taking anti androgen drugs, applying minoxidil solution, capixyl gel etc will be helpful. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
