Shedding from "TE associated with AGA"

[jamesst11]

Hello,

- In early January I did a trichogram which showed that I had 50 to 70% of hairs in telogen phase in addition to an inhomogeneous miniaturization in frontal area and vertex. So, telogen effluvium associated with androgenetic alopecia.
I still do not know if the TE is included in the AGA (so it would be very agressive?) or if it could be linked to another cause.
Does those hairs might not regrow without going through miniaturization phase (some seems pretty normal...)?

- I started Fin. 70 days ago but I have wait to begin Minox. because of a surgery originally scheduled for early February (which has been postponed).

So, is there a time limit of "recently fallen" hairs that Minoxidil could bring back? I had acceptable density in November but today I need regrowth...

Because hairloss is not stopped and my vertex/mid-scalp get worse, I wonder again if I would have less to lose to start minoxidil now.

Bye

You should definitely be on minoxidil and finasteride. Minoxidil in this scenario is just as important. 50-70% is a really high telogen to anagen ration. Normally, you should have 10-20%. You definitely have telogen effluvium. Minoxidil will work to cycle your hair, so that after some time, you have more hair in anagen. But, nothing will stop TE. It just runs it's course on it's own. Do you know what triggered the TE?
