Shall I opt Finasteride for hair loss?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am losing my hair day by day. Can I use Finasteride? I have hydrocele. Is it related to my testosterone?

Answered by Dr. Annie Flora G.

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

Please do not go to Finasteride straight away. First, the cause and the pattern of your hair loss have to be assessed. It could vary from seborrheic dermatitisto androgenic alopecia to any other skin disorders too. Then, treatment can be planned. Have a consultation with a dermatologist for physical evaluation and get your problem assessed. Hydrocele is not related to testosterone. It is just a fluid collection in the sac. So, please do not get confused.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
