Thanks dr.. I am from Hong Kong. I do not know where I can find dr that helps with hair loss.;(

I am a 23 years old girl and I have been suffering hair loss since last year. . Last summer i had experienced a very stressful courses from June. I started to realise my hair had become thinner around august. Since my hair has always been thin and fine, the sudden thinning makes me really worried. I went to see some so call "hair expert" who sell very expensive treatment. I didn't continue because it was too expensive and doesn't really works. The hair expert said i hv diffuse hair loss and I m lack of iron. After that i started to eat more especially red meat and I also started taking supplement that is for women's hair skin and nails. (I have taken it for 3 months). After I stopped the treatment, i went to see doctor as I really want to find out the cause. Blood test were performed and everything turns out very normal (iron level, thyroid, etc). And the doctor told me it's because of stress. But I did not really think so as my hair didnt hv signs to grow back. I went to see some other doctors. One of then told me it's because I have nose allergy so this makes me didnt sleep well and hence hair doesnt grow. Once again, I do not think this is the real trigger of my hair loss. My hair loss continues. Around Nov to Dec, I found that my other body hairs are falling off more compared with the past. (Eg more nasal hair, eyebrows, pubic hair etc fall off, some short and fine body hairs also fall off , which I haven't experienced in the past.) I then went to see the dermatologist last week. The derm diagnosed me with Male pattern hair loss. He prescribed me for 2% minoxidil. He said I have too use at least 3 bottles in order to see result. I have researched online and noticed that hair will fall once stopped using it so i do not really want to use it unless there are no other ways to help with my hair loss. I still believe there are some other cause for my hair loss. I may associate my period pain to my hair loss. I have irregular periods and very serious pain on the first day. I am not sure if this may be the cause. Until now my hair loss still continuing. I do not really loss many many hair but it's more than in the past and my hair seems not growing back after it falls off. Also my short and fine hairs fall off as well. Does anyone know about the potential cause of my hair loss? If it is really male pattern hair loss, I think I may consider taking Minoxidil or Yasmin (hormones). Anyone hv tried these? Can anyone help with some advise? Thanks.
