Have you found any solution?

@@memoonasaeed4408 I went to see them (yes one of the docs in the video) and they didn't help, in my opinion. They gave me Isotretinoin which didn't address my hormonal issues and I ultimately stopped taking because I'm frankly scared of that drug. I ended up asking my gynecologist point blank for Spironolactone and surprisingly he simply gave it. It did slightly revive the baby hairs in my widows peaks, and clear my skin, but I was hemorrhaging so badly on my period due to fibroid, and every time I took Spiro it got worse so I knew I had to stop. It was hard because Spiro had also completely cured my migraine and brain fog. Now I've had fibroid removed and kyleena inserted, I really want to go back on Spiro but my new gyno won't let me. I'm going to fight it, I miss everything about that drug.

@@memoonasaeed4408 I should give this channel credit though, without them I would never have learned Spironolactone existed.

I have PCOS too! My period disappeared for months so I went to a gyno and the NP told me to eat healthy (which I already do) and exercise. Well my period was gone for 6 months so I made another appointment and demanded bloodwork and ultrasound because my sister's friend has PCOS and has the exact same symptoms. So they put me on birth control and I started to see an endocrinologist but my symptoms weren't improving much. I started seeing a new primary who switched me to a new birth control because apparently they had me on one of the worst ones for PCOS and I asked for a referral to see a dermatologist for acne and hair loss. I've been on 50mg of Spironolactone and it's been helping along with the pill. It's a shame, but we really have to be our own health advocates.

May I ask a question in relation women and testosterone. Does Spironolactone block ALL of the Testosterone ie. the free testosterone in our bodies? Is Finasteride going to work the same way that Spironolactone does for women?

What symptoms of pcos do you have?

I’m 24 and I’m suffering from all of the above 😭😭😭 did you find the solution yet? I’m tired of testing my hormones and getting my ovaries/ womb checked without any results, every doctor I have seen says that i’m perfectly normal 🙂 yet here I am with hirsutism, cystic acne mainly on my chin area, and reseeding hair line

@@_blagh3621 take a Dutch test. Certain hormones are not very well measured through blood serum. For example, estrodiol/estrogen family is more accurately measured through urine & saliva. But spironolactone is working for me. Reduce stress, particular vitamins

@@pawsitivelivingllc4292can I tale this test if I live in Europe? Don’t know if you need to be in the US…

Omega13 hi! The progestin part of Climara Pro patch is levonogestrel- and is derived from tesosterone- that means it isn’t hair friendly!! The hair- friendly ones are drospirenone, cyproterone acetate, dienogest. Check my message above!!!( posted one month ago)

Wow I took Diane 35 fir many years. They was the only thing that cleared my acne. Didn’t know it had Spiro in it. I had to stop BC because I am over 50 and I began losing hair and my acne is bad again 😟

@@mvpglam8018 Hi! Diane 35 has cyproterone acetate, not spiro. They are both androgen-blockers, though! Also, are you postmenopausal? Because the only you can do, after thorough exams, is you can be put on hrt, and there is Climen with cyproterone acetate and Angeliq with drospirenone( similar to spironolactone) of course, it depends on the country you live in. Hope that helps

I was on Diane 35 for many years. It wrecked havoc on my mental health. Avoid at all costs.

It depends on what the cause of the AI is for? They can be used with careful monitoring.

@@TheHairLossShow Treatment for breast cancer. Thank so much for replying!

Katsem, i will definitely stick to only topicals/ maybe Minoxidil 5%, or, maybe alfatradiol( topical estrogen) - the product name Pantostin. Have a nice day!

@@OlaRalu Thank you. Didn't even know there was a topical estrogen that could be used on the scalp, but will run it by the doc.

@@OlaRalu Thank you! I will research this. What concentration or dosage do you take? How long until you saw results? Thank you in advance!

That's a good one.. I like it. We will add it to the list.

@@TheHairLossShow + Please have a solution!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, how are you doing with your hair fall? Have you tried prp any results ?

Hi, After being diagnosed with pcos when i was 17, i was on oral contraceptive for 2 years, after stopping diane 35 it triggered more hair loss than i was losing 2 years ago. I am now 19. On vitamin supplements, my dermatologist gave me spironolactone and advised me to use minoxidil but i'm gonna try prp instead. But did spironolactone help your hair? How is your condition now?

Sounds like PCOS ...look at the PCOS forums & videos. You'll need a higher dose than 25mg for at least 6 months

Not good for those who wants to conceive as it will affect male Fetus

Arash joon- yes but finasteride should be taken w birth control for women. Otherwise if a woman gets pregnant her baby boy could have birth defects from the finasteride or spiro.

@@EB-gt1pq Interesting 🤔

Great question I will be getting hormone pellet inserted and I can’t to see what happens after

I'm on HRT (error patch & micronized progesterone)

I use oral dutasteride for 2 months, it decreased my hair loss but I still see 20-22 hair on my bed, should I use oral spironolactone with dutasteride at the same time ? I'm 23 male nw 2.5

Topical finasteride does go systemic.

Please get a blood test to check your dht levels.. Mine was high and I'm on finasteride now.

2 months is very less to judge the efficacy of any medicine.

@@Angela-Gee why are you on finastride and not sporonolactone

@@Angela-Gee does it helped you?

Dose seems low

50 mg is way too low. Try increasing to 100 mg or even more. It does take like 4 months to start working. I took 200 mg daily for my hair loss.

No it usually takes 5 months to really start working. I’ve been taking it for years. On and off a couples times… and I hated waiting for it to work again!

@@amandastevens5629 how is your hair now? you‘re still using it?

​@@amandastevens5629was the Spiro effective in same way after restarting it? I heard stopping and starting of spirolactone sometimes, does not give same result or its efficacy reduced.

It’s called shedding, it should tell you that it works

It can cause hair loss. Listed now as a side effect.

Shirley Ellis I was on 100 mg spiro prescription; and I’ve loss more hair once coming off of it. I really felt spiro was simply holding on to the hair I already had and not regrowing any new strands.

@@regisnyder Thanks for sharing

@@regisnyder how long were you on it for??

May I ask if you were taking anything else to try and preserve it? I wonder if regrowth did occur for some, if it could be maintained with minoxidil and dutasteride.

Yes. That’s why I decided to discontinue this medication. I did not like the idea of having to take this medication forever. Thank God wigs are popular.

It shouldn't reduce the level of testosterone.

Isn't that the point of the spiro? To block testosterone ? Am I mistaken ? Is it blocking with-in the system or at the hair follicle/skin surface?

@@pawsitivelivingllc4292 no it blocks DHT Aka androgen. Not testosterone.

@@hollysmith1347 ok so testosterone & DHT are both androgens. DHT is stronger/more powerful form of testosterone. So the spiro can reduce DHT without impacting testosterone? Just want to make sure I understand correctly. Hormones are a fascinating field of medicine. Thanks for your time

@PawsitiveLiving it doesn't decrease the amount of DHT in your body, it blocks the ability of DHT to activate the receptor for DHT at the hair folicle only.

Its for women

how long did you took it

In some cases I heard that for some times the Spiro works and then it stops working,so what is your condition now? What medicines you are taking?

Have you seen improvement after finasteride..and how much time it takes to see improvement?

@@jimaborbora5948 lots of improvement.. It takes 6-8 months

@@Angela-Gee how is your hair now?

@@Angela-Gee What dose of Finasteride are you on or were on?

Who said that? No

this is such a good question i'm annoyed they aren't answering it.

Same here. My tests are perfectly normal too, yet i continue to face this.

​@@HM-lw6yl I went to a dermatologists since watching this and they prescribed me spironolactone. Apparently you can have normal testosterone levels and still need spiro, because your body is sensitive to DHT in general. Hope this helps!

@@Fluffyduff Thanku so much! This does help.i did endo, blood tests etc. beacuse I felt like maybe this hairloss, facial hair etc are symptoms of pcod but nothing came up, I guess based on this my dermatologist only prescribed me some supplements and minoxidil. Do let me know if u see some promising results. Wish u the best❤️

did you try minoxidil? it works for most people. also laser helps too but its expensive.

Zeyna Nd i cant use minoxidil causes my skin to peel and greasy oily scalp and dandruff especially with dermaroller horrible flakes and itchy I have low laser therapy

@@no-de3lg Sicne avodart and finasterid dose not help for you it is probably thetestostrone that hurts your follices, not your dht. Maybe try an antanogist

@@TravelWithTea8 how and where

Add oral minoxidil

No weight gain? Have you lost energy?

Any updates

Hi guys, nah no weight gain but I have my eating under control and work out everyday so I have not felt any hungrier or any loss of energy. I'm still plucking under my chin and upper lip though but it's not as bad. I used to shave my arms and legs as they got as hairy as eyebrows but not anymore I'm lucky if I shave them once a month. Body hair has reduced dramatically, I honestly can't believe it. My receding hair line and I'm talking from the tip of my ears straight across to the other side is starting to thicken up. I had 2 bald patches about 2inchs round that had zero hair growing, are now filling in. I'm all most tears everytime I look at myself in the mirror because I'm so grateful that this medication is working. Holy shit and also my giant pores on my face I had are slowly closing up. So this drug has stabled my blood pressure, grown my hair back, reduced my facial and body hair, and is clearing up my skin. It's probably doing heaps of other things too, it is seriously changing my life.
