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.
