My wife went to a dermatologist and the dermatologist took a photo with an iPad, came back four minutes later and said you have Andrew genetic alopecia, just bad luck, she said. No test nothing. My wife is going crazy thinking about it , and she is upset because no one in her family has it. No women at all. She went to her regular doctor, and got a testosterone blood test. We will have the results tomorrow. wandering what we should do next, and if you think that diagnosis was too quick. i’ve never seen her so depressed. Is there anyway she could talk to you over the phone for five minutes? Please let me know. if not, I’ll do my best to try and let her know what you said. She also did a thyroid test last year , and a thyroid sonogram just now with the testosterone test. Thyroid was normal last year with the blood test, but there is a nodule, most likely benign, they said. They also told her to go get the biopsy for her her head . I don’t know what to do anymore. Very, very lost here to help her.

Sorry that she’s going thru that it’s very depressing at times. I will recommend getting the biopsy that’s what I did and with that I could find a better treatment
I don't have a favorite - but you could check ewg.org to look for products that are free from pthalates and parabens (which can be endocrine disruptors)
Hi. Do you think saw palmetto is safe to take long term? When I look it up, it seems like it’s safe to take for up to three years, which isn’t great. Also, do you think there is a good topical product that works to decrease the effects of DHT on the scalp?
Hi - evidence suggests that saw palmetto is safe to take long-term, longer than 3 years. I'm sure there are many topical products out there for Androgenic Alopecia, but I don't have any specific ones to recommend. I'm typically focused on working from the inside-out. Thanks for the great questions!
@@DrKateLyzengaDean , one more question about saw palmetto-my concern about it is that it looks like it affects estrogen receptors or something like that. Do you think it can lower bone density over time? If so, that would be bad for me.
One last answer 😁 No it doesn't impact bone density and doesn't interact with estrogen receptors. For more info, feel free to check out my Hair Loss Deep Dive tutorial: www.drkateld.com/offers/m3wMKfRk
Dr. Kate, do you have other recommendations for a hair vitamin besides the one from Pure encapsulations? The high biotin in those actually make my skin break out. Thank you!

I am a 70-year-old female and have androgenic alopecia according to the dermatologist. He looked at my hair/scalp with something that he hand held, and said that I have androgenic alopecia. Does your video info apply to my age group? Thanks!
Hi Dr. Kate, thank you for your video. I just had a serum ferritin test measured 104 ng/mL (Iron is 78 ug/dL). I'm not sure how the ng/mL translates to ug/L. Can you help me with this so I can know if my ferritin is ok? Thank you! I want to do your Deep Dive, just saving up the $ 🙂
I have androgenetic alopecia and hirsutism. Im 3 years postmenopsusal. Im on Spironolactone and now Hrt. Not seeing any difference yet. Can I take these supplements as well? Thanks in advance Dr.💕
You have lots of options! I'd suggest starting with the free checklist for this video - OR, if you want something more comprehensive, check out the Hair Loss Deep Dive here: www.drkateld.com/hair-loss-deep-dive
Like I mentioned in the video, if DHT is your problem, saw palmetto could help! I do recommend taking a product that specifically contains the standardized fatty acids and sterols - like the ones at this link: us.fullscript.com/plans/drkateld-androgenic-alopecia-supplement-guide
Im in grade 2 androgenic alopecia... And my dermat suggested me to use procapil hair solution but im can't see any difference! And before procapil i used minoxidil+finastried which gives better result than procapil but my dermat suggest me to use procapil can you plzz tell me.. that can i use both minoxidil and procapil?? Like in morning i'll use minoxidil and in evening I'll use procapil??? Can i?? Is this really safe? And dr kate i have been suffering by severe constipation from past 1 year can you you please tell chia seed will good for me or not? Also my dermat gave some medicines like minoxidil tablets ..., mineral , amino acids with biotin and niacin tablet...., and vitamin b complex with b12...,
I'm not an expert on pharmacological treatments for hair loss, so unfortunately I can't speak to the procapil with minoxildil combo. I do think chia seeds are worth a try, though!
There are a few studies showing slight reduction in 5-alpha reductase activity with the use of pumpkin seed oil, but I've found that standardized extracts of saw palmetto berry perform better! 👍🏼
@@DrKateLyzengaDean there’s a supplement under brand “Now’s’ which contain saw palmetto + pumpkin seed oil and zinc! Is it safe for woman in the her 20s to take (long term)?
Unfortunately, it's very uncommon to test these markers via the serum - and they aren't as reliable as saliva or urine, but you could check your DHT levels (Dihydrotestosterone) to see if they are elevated, causing androgenic alopecia.
In that case, perhaps it's time to look for a different root cause - I explain the top 6 root causes in my Hair Loss Deep Dive! You can sign up here: www.drkateld.com/hair-loss-deep-dive

Traction alopecia happens when you pull on your hair too much - sometimes from certain hairstyles or habits. Androgenic alopecia is linked to hormones!
Traction alopecia happens when u wear tight pontytails or pull your hair/ comb too hard etc. Which weakens ur hair follicles but unlike androgenic alopecia its reversible (not a doctor but i did a lot of research lol)

Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't - that's why I like to get to the root of the issue!

In india we don't have dutch test thn how can we test through serum
Unfortunately, it's very uncommon to test these markers via the serum - and they aren't as reliable as saliva or urine, but you could check your DHT levels (Dihydrotestosterone) to see if they are elevated, causing androgenic alopecia.
I checked with many doctors, my dht is normal , cortisol serum is also normal,dhea s is 246 range 90- 545

@@DrKateLyzengaDeanI’m 34 diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia
Androgens are more than those 3 hormones.
Agreed! That's why I suggest the DUTCH test - it evaluates lots of androgens and androgenic metabolites
