my hair is thinning out with excess hairball how to fix my problem
hi from the information given it seems you are experiencing the early signs of male pattern hair loss this is a very common condition and there are many factors responsible one of them being genetic if you have other family members with similar patterned hair loss the chances for you to develop it increase too due to the effect of the male hormone on the hair cycle over a period of time the hair follicle starts shrinking and so the hair which comes out is thinner and more fragile and breaks easily also the growing phase of the hair is shortened so your hair does not grow as long it used to and becomes shorter and wispier being just 17 years old I am sure it must be worrying you a lot but do not be disheartened there are several treatment options available and the sooner we start the treatment the better the chances of reducing further hair loss thinning and increasing regrowth a combination of oral supplements to boost hair growth along with application of lotions containing minoxidil to begin with will be the best course of action in my opinion oral finasteride which is the male hormone blocker is used frequently applications with finasteride are available too this will be prescribed by your treating doctor after assessing the extent of thinning and discussing the side effects etc several preparations of bio peptides and other natural ingredients like saw palmetto extract melatonin etc are also available to boost the hair growth pop platelet rich plasma is a popular procedure which is often used in combination with medical treatment to stimulate hair growth further usually a combination of treatments is suggested after the clinical evaluation but using the applications regularly is the key to good results hair regrowth takes a few months to show and you will have to be patient to see the benefit of the treatment I hope this helps
