    I love Spironolactone. It's working beautifully for me so far. My hair is growing on my head while excess hair is reducing on my face, legs, arms. My gynecologist took blood tests and prescribed this to me. I drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated. I hope my kidneys don't become affected though. That's the one thing I worry about.

      Did you notice any mood swings or change of mood? I was prescribed Spironolactone. 50 mgs at night. And 50 mgs in morning. I am kinda scared. I already get testosterone pellets.

    I finally got to see a dermantologist today, dermdox. I am not satisfied with how they handled me 😣 she saw my hair took her finger and poked my scalp in 1 spot, backed away and said "hmm maybe stress based hairloss" she then looked at previous bloodwork and said everything else looks good. It was a less than 5 minute long appointment and all she did was POKE my scalp one time in one spot!

      Sorry to hear that, Guanimos. If you suspect genetic pattern hair loss, at least a microscopic exam of your scalp is needed to identify thinning hair. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female patter hair loss - ruclips.net/video/2WhELyekG4A/видео.html

    Hello doctor
    I was misdiagnosed with PCOS , i was taking spironolactone for 3 and 1/2 month later i knew i was misdiagnosed. After stopping it, within 20 days i have lost half of my hair. I didn't had high testosterone,neither achne or hair problem ,i went to the doctor after being concerned with weight gain,then later on she told me i had pcos. After 3 and half month with the concern of hairfall I went to see another doctor ,the doctor told me my reports looks fine and i don't have pcos . How can I stop my hairfall?

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi @SheIn-hk3km,
      Since I haven't diagnosed you for any conditions, I suggest you stop taking medications that were prescribed for your misdiagnosed PCOS, and see if your hair improves. If things don't improve, you will need an examination to determine the cause of your hair loss before treatment can be recommended. I hope this clarifies things for you.

    Hello doctor,
    Ive been experiencing hair loss for the past several months. My derm recommended me minoxidil 5, which has caused significant shedding. She later did bloodwork & found out I have high testosterone levels & put me on Spironolocane. Should I continue to use minoxidil with spironoolocane? Or should I just use spiroonolocane?

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  5 лет назад +3

      Hi Rahima Khatun,
      In my opinion, testosterone does not have a significant impact on female pattern hair loss, so I don't usually prescribe spironolactone to my female pattern hair loss patients. As for minoxidil, both my male and female patients can stop using it after the Hair Regeneration treatment. Minoxidil needs to be used continuously if you want to avoid a sudden hair shed, but this can also happen with time if you continue using it daily. There are limited treatments available for female pattern hair loss, which is why we offer a more effective alternative that doesn't require minoxidil or spironolactone. I hope this clarifies things for you.

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  Год назад

      Hi turiou,
      Minoxidil does take several months of daily use before it takes effect. I generally don't find spironolactone to be an effective treatment for female pattern hair loss, and it usually takes a year or more for effects to be noticed. I don't prescribe spironolactone, so you can talk to your prescribing doctor about it.
      Our female TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients featured in the video don't need to use minoxidil, or spironolactone, but can thicken their hair much more effectively than either of these drugs. You can refer to this more recent video about it - ruclips.net/video/lbngJ1a5GIw/видео.html

For my hair loss which looks alot like the pattern you ve descrived , I ve been using minoxidil but It was really hard to accept face hair and the other side effects so i am thinking about starting Spironolactone 100 mg once a day also but I am afraid because diuretic can cause Functionnal kidneys failure which may major the hyperkaliemia ..

      @AmiyaPrasadMD  6 лет назад

      Hi suruchi kumari,
      Sorry to hear about your problem. It's important you see a doctor to diagnose your disease. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and these hairs grow back. If it's excessive shedding, or the hair doesn't grow back, you need to see a doctor to diagnose the cause. Pattern hair loss is gradual hair thinning, not hair shedding. I hope this helps you.

    Does your Trichostem treatment have animal products in it? I looked up the ACell extracellular matrix you put the PRP but was not able to verify. I am interested in this therapy with you. Also, I very much like your videos. Very informative and you seem like an extremely educated MD who keeps up with research, etc. Thank you for helping people with your content.

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD

      Hi Patricia Massari,
      Extracellular matrix by ACell is derived from porcine bladder because of its remarkable healing properties, but it is sterilized and processed to remove unnecessary biological material. People with dietary or religious restrictions need to make this choice for themselves, but a good number of patients with these concerns have still gone ahead with the treatment.

      It's not clear what your dermatologist prescribed spironolactone for, but I don't prescribe it for female pattern hair loss. Also, it's not clear if you're male or female, as spironolactone is testosterone blocker not usually prescribed for males.

      Hi Tara Sims,
      We have patients from out of state and from around the world coming to our office for treatment every day. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in New York. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, which is done at no additional charge, and results for out of state patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.I hope this clarifies things for you.

      @AmiyaPrasadMD  6 лет назад +2

      Hi fifi fofa,
      Hair Regeneration is the alternative to spironolactone and minoxidil for female pattern hair loss. Hair Regeneration can thicken thinning hair and stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles. Hair transplant is not advised for most cases of female pattern hair loss because the trauma of placing hair grafts close to existing hair follicles can permanently damage those follicles and causing more hair loss. Hair transplant for women is only safe if there are no native hairs in the transplant recipient site. I will have a video soon about when hair transplantation applies to women, but female pattern hair loss is diffuse, meaning it happens all over the scalp, so in most cases its not safe for women without damaging nearby hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.

    Hello Dr, I just got my biopsy results done by my dermatologist bc I was experiencing hair loss for about a year .. 6 months ago I notice the thining all over but where it’s more noticeable is on the side of my head temples area. It says it’s compatible with androgenetic alopecia also it’s compatible with mild pauci-inflammatory but non scarring alopecia. They did some blood work and thyroid was ok but my estorgen levels are high exactly 623.4H and also my vitamin D was low 26L. I’m 29 years old and this has been devastating/confusing news but my question is .. is there a possibility that if I balance my estrogen and vitamin d will that help and fix my hair loss before starting rogaine. I don’t know what to do next. This is a very scary reality, I watched your videos and I know getting to the root of the problem comes first before doing treatment .. I know I probably shouldn’t be getting my hopes up but wonder if I balance those out my hair can go back to normal.

      I advise you have your hormonal levels balanced out prior to treatment. Although female pattern hair loss is traditionally very difficult to treat, we have gotten outstanding results for female patients since 2011. Over 99% of female pattern hair loss patients get visible improvement with our Hair Regeneration treatment, and the majority only need one treatment session which can last 3-5 years.

      Hi Doris Komba,
      Sorry to hear about your sister's situation, but there are no clear details provided about your sister's condition prior to seeing the doctor. There are several medical uses for spironolactone, so prescribing it can help these conditions. Without these details, I cannot recommend anything. I suggest you get a clear diagnosis from the doctor, or get a second opinion from another doctor who can physically diagnose her condition as I cannot do that with just your comment. I hope this helps you.

    What do you recommend to your patients. Minoxidil and what else?

      Hi noran sameh,
      For female pattern hair loss, our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients don't even need minoxidil after the injection treatment. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss:

    Why spironolactone can't be used in men for androgenic alopecia doctor ?

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  3 года назад +1

      Hi Mahmoud Shaker,
      Spironolactone is a testosterone blocker, and testosterone is important for normal male systemic function. A major factor in pattern hair loss in men is sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that causes hair to thin. DHT can be blocked with a DHT-blocker like finasteride. Blocking testosterone in men will lead to more serious systemic issues. I hope this clarifies things for you.

    If I do hair regeneration will DHT sensitivity still destroy my hair after this treatment?

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  6 лет назад

      Hi Batool,
      It depends on your age and level of DHT-sensivity. For younger male patients with high DHT-sensitivity who lose hair in their 20s, finasteride is essential part of the treatment plan with Hair Regeneration. With older male patients with later onset of hair loss, say in their 40s, they are less DHT-sensitive, and can succeed with Hair Regeneration alone, and without finasteride. Generally for female pattern hair loss patients, DHT is not an issue and they can manage hair loss effectively with Hair Regeneration alone. It's important to note that DHT-sensitivity is hardwired into the DNA, so hair loss treatment is about management to keep as much hair as possible, for as long as possible, but there is no cure for pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  6 лет назад

      Hi AMS khan,
      Sweat on your scalp can affect your transplant procedure, so it is best to take a week off after your transplant to avoid high temperatures during the initial healing period. I hope this clarifies things for you.

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  4 года назад +2

      Hi Louse Cadet,
      Spironolactone is a prescription medication, and one I don't usually prescribe as I don't find it effective; and women generally shouldn't be using DHT-blockers. You do need to have a proper diagnosis for female pattern hair loss before considering specific treatments. I hope this clarifies things for you.

      Hi Jolas Nicolas,
      No, spironolactone is not prescribed by men as testosterone is an essential male hormone, and spironolactone is a testosterone blocker. DHT-blockers for men include finasteride, and dutasteride. I hope this clarifies things for you.

    Hi Doctor, I’m diagnosed with androgenic alopecia. My doctor told me PRP for the first six months has to be done once a month continuously..it’s costly and I’m wondering if I can do it every two month?

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  6 лет назад +3

      Hi Jenny Tn,
      I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth. Also, the number of sessions needed does vary, and the longevity of results is unpredictable. Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. Hair Regeneration is a one-time treatment for most patients, and can last up to 5 years and beyond, depending on the aggressiveness of the hair loss pattern. You don't need repeat injections periodically, and many older Hair Regeneration patients don’t need maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride can concurrently help younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely.

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  4 года назад +1

      Hi All True,
      Spironolactone is a testosterone blocker, which I don't find to be very effective for female pattern hair loss, and I don't prescribe it in my practice. If you have female pattern hair loss, and would like to thicken thinning hair, and stimulate growth from hair follicles currently not growing, look into the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.

    • @AmiyaPrasadMD
      @AmiyaPrasadMD  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Suhana Subha,
      I don't prescribe spironolactone, but I have some female patients who take it, and some say it's effective, and some say it's not. If it's working for you, you may see its effects decrease if you stop it. If it isn't working for you, then it shouldn't make things worse if you stop using it. Minoxidil doesn't cause hair loss, but its effects of delaying the hair shedding cycle and prolonging the growth cycle will stop if you stop using it, so you can experience more hair shedding. I hope this clarifies things for you.

      Hi suruchi kumari,
      Sorry to hear about your problem, but I'm not familiar with doctors in India. We don't currently offer the Hair Regeneration treatment in India, but we do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age.
