Suggest treatment for hair loss on the crown of the head
Answered by
It would be progressive over months!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this hair loss that you have reported. For sure it is most likely related to this drug. Having stopped it, it would stop further hair loss but hair growth would be progressive and may require weeks or month in order to catch up with the normal rhythm and hair density as before.
There is no point to get a stimulant at this time. Since the drug is the principal culprit, discontinuation is enough and time would restore growth. This drug has no known side effect on the thyroid.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

MD Hi Doc
I am a male, 68yo, widower, Chinese (not from China). I lead an active sex life.....I have sex at least twice a week sometimes with different women (not prostitute). For the last 1 month, 5 out of 10 times that I have sex...I couldn't ejaculate although the sensation of ejaculation were there. I have Type 1 Diabetes..I inject 52mg of insulin everyday plus captoril and simvastatin. I also consume 80mg of Aspirin everyday for the last 20 years.
My question is.....Is there any kind of medication\drug that I can take so that I can ejaculate each time I have sex.
Thank you.
