No section in Hair Loss for women w Male Pattern Balding?

[MrsK4Jesus]

Hi!!! I have written previously in regard to asking if anyone had been diagnosed (dr.'s report) with male pattern balding.

I noticed that it is not listed with types of female hair loss and am still inquiring whether anyone else has been diagnosed with MPB or knows anything about it???:confused:

Yes, there are plenty that have been diagnosed but the name more common to most people is FPH( Female Pattern Hairloss) We also use the name Androgenetic Alopecia( not sure if spelled right) which is basically the same thing I would say as MPB( Male pattern Balding) we as women usually lose hair in a diffuse matter all over the head but men usually lose the hair in a general area( not sure if that makes since) Anyway we are all trying to figure out what direction to go in when it comes to out loss(hair)... I have been diagnosed with AGA and also TE so who knows what to expect from these doctors... we have to work together and maybe we can solve this problem together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sure hope so for all of our sakes..... Hope this can help you.....:):):)LOL, Lisah

Hi Ladies!!

I haven't been diagnosed with MBP but that's what I have. In fact, the last time I saw her, my doctor remarked "Hey, that's one heck of a comb-over you've got there." Truly???? :confused: but that's beside the point.

Okay, so after much research on this website and others, here's what I'm going to do.... I started taking cimetidine (400 mg 4-5 times daily) and saw palmeto (though I haven't yet settled on a dose) and I'm thinking about rogaine for men.

What are you using and has anything worked?

Hi everyone!

I'm quite new here and getting to realize that I might be on the luckier end of AGA. I have male pattern balding, my forehead is getting taller and taller and my temple thinner but at least the rest of my hair seems stable:)

Until I've done my research here I was sure that I will go the hair transplant way as soon as I can but the stories here made it clear it's not that easy at all.

Does anyone with male pattern balding have any experience about transplants?
Is it possible that later I'll develop an overall thinning? I've head this for 3 years without a change in the pattern.

Really nice community, I'm glad I found you!

Hello, It's been awhile since I have responded on the network. I still read daily or almost daily.. Anyway what I know from my hairloss is that yours sounds like it is located in a pattern where transplants may work for you... That is great news.. I know there is much negative about them and I know very little about them because I am not a candidate for them so I have not done much research... My hairloss is diffuse all over my head so that would never work for me....But I know that my derm from a few years ago sent a woman to have the transplants because she actually had traditional male patterned balding... I would do lots of research and find a really good doctor and maybe even start a treatment to make sure the other hair on your head is not affected by hairloss. That is only what I know about. If anyone reads this and has a comment about Aldactone please let me know... That is really the last thing I can try for my hairloss and just wondered if it will help grow any hair where the loss has occured. Good luck and keep working on finding a way that works for you... LOL Lisah
