Thing is i was under ALOT of stress due to issues with my x girlfriend. Anyway i'm going to get a hormone imbalanse test, and I think i'll see the derm. I've heard they can examine your scalp and tell if there is any miniaturisation. I'll take it from there, but I definitely will jump on fin and niz if this doesnt get better anytime soon. Did you have diffuse thinning like I do? I'm glad to hear that its working for you. Hopefuly your hair loss reverses man Btw did you have a receeding hairline? Because mine didnt really receed. Hopefully thats a good sign.. Thanks for the reply bro

Thanks alot for your reply. I really do hope you're right. This is how I think it does. Correct me if i'm wrong though. That unless someone going through mpb started a new treatment (fin, regaine, etc), he usually doesnt shed. In mpb the hair takes its time(just as long as it would usualy take), but when it does shed, it grows back thinner, and usualy after a gradual process stops growing. Whereas in TE, there is alot of shedding all so quickly. Do i have my facts right? One more thing. Say this continues for a while and I do decide to take fin, does it help with diffuse thinning? Thanks alot once again..

Hey HaiRisWhere. Thanks for your reply I have one uncle from my fathers side who is bald. The rest, also from my mothers side have a full head of thick hair. What are you currently taking? Thing is, my hairline is not receeding. Did you actually have any stress before noticing the hair loss? Did you take any blood tests? Would you recommend that i see a trichologist or a dermetologist to have my hair tested before I get an accurate answer on if it is male pattern baldness? Again thanks alot for your reply man..

Thanks alot for your reply. How can you be so sure that it's mpb if the hair shedding / thinning was that fast? Can the derm tell me for sure if its mpb not TE, or the other way round?

Thanks alot bro. You're probably right about the HT being a really bad idea at this time. I deff did have ALOT of stress previously with my x gf as of last month, and uni, etc. Honestly i'm scared of using finasteride. I've heard that if your hair is shedding due to TE (telogen effluvium), and you diagnose it with Male Pattern Baldness treatments (fin), you can do more damage than good. Is this true? Is there a way i can find out for sure if its mpb what im going through? Are there any tests I should do? I'll be seeing a derm next week. I've heard quiet alot of stories about people getting dark circles, and wrinkles, bloat in the face, etc with minox. Are these rare sideeffects? Here is a pic of what my hair looked like 4 months back with NO thinning whatsoever. Once again, thanks ALOT for your help..

6 months ago my hair was completely thick and healthy. 3 months ago i noticed a little bit of hair shedding, but it wasnt anything drastic. Recently the past 3 weeks my hair has been shedding like crazy. I trimmed it down to see what it looks like, and here are a few pictures. Is this the usual MPB? Or is it diffuse hair thinning caused by stress or something like that? Can hair become so much thinner in only 6 months due to mpb? Will i need a HT? I'm getting really frustrated, and i dont want to lose my hair. Also, i must add that recently my head has been itching quiet a bit. Where do I go from here? Im 19 btw. Thanks you all in advance
