I've been experiencing severe hair loss recently, and a friend recommended that I take Dianette (Diane-35). I would like to ask, can Dianette treat male hair loss?

Yes, but it is only suitable for androgenetic alopecia. This medication contains hormones, so it is not recommended to take it indiscriminately, as it may cause other side effects and easily lead to weight gain; therefore, you should pay more attention to regular exercise. It is advisable to maintain overall health, eat nutritious foods such as eggs, healthy fats, and lean meats to ensure proper absorption by the body. Avoid staying up late. You may take Yangxue Shengfa Capsules or Shui Niu Shengfa Pian (a traditional hair-growth tablet), and topical minoxidil can also be used for treatment.
