If patients with androgenetic alopecia are diagnosed early and treated correctly and in a timely manner, most of them will have improved symptoms and can usually be cured. If left untreated, their symptoms may gradually worsen. It is recommended that patients take medication and surgery to deal with the problem.
1. Medication: For male patients with androgenetic alopecia, oral finasteride and topical 5% minoxidil can be prescribed to help improve hair loss. Female patients are recommended to take oral ethinyl estradiol cyproterone, spironolactone, and then combined with topical 2% minoxidil, to accelerate the growth of hair, but should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Surgical treatment: If the patient’s hair loss has improved or there are sufficient healthy hair follicles available for transplantation, the patient can choose to take hair transplantation, which is conducive to improving the symptoms of hair loss.
For patients with androgenetic alopecia, it is recommended to go to the hospital and choose the appropriate treatment under the doctor’s guidance. The medication should be taken according to the doctor’s prescription.
