Can The Hair Loss Be Due To Splenectomy?
Hi I lost my spleen in a skiing accident when I was 12. I am now 25 and when I was 22 I started to lose my hair receding hairline and crown. I have no male pattern baldness on either side of my family. Would my splenectomy cause that? And how do I prevent future hair loss?

Hello,
You certainly seem to have androgenetic alopecia as the pattern of hair loss is typical of that - frontal hairline and crown of the scalp.
I suggest you use a Minoxidil solution and take Finasteide tablet. Both of these are approved remedies for androgenetic alopecia in males.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
