I am 31 and I have had thinning hair for the past 5 years and it is getting worse every year. My doctor whats to give me sapronolactose shots. Is this safe? I still want to have children

The use of spironolactone has been around for years. There is controversy in the medical literature on its effectiveness. Some people feel that women with hyperandrogenic hormonal influences may benefit more than those without. As this medication influences hormones in your body, I would be skeptical for its use in a woman wanting to get pregnant for if she did get pregnant, it will almost certainly impact the baby. There are also reports that there are side effects in women your age (cancer risk potential). Speak with your doctor about these issues.
