I'm really worried because my hair fall seems to be getting worse every day. I'm considering using minoxidil to help stop it and maybe even regrow my hair. But I'm also concerned about whether it might affect male fertility. Could you give me some advice on this?

Late periods can be unsettling.
Possible Causes (non-pregnancy related):
- Hormonal imbalance
- Stress or anxiety
- Weight changes
- Birth control methods (if using)
- Thyroid issues
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Adrenal gland disorders
- Uterine or ovarian problems
Considering your situation:
- No intercourse, so pregnancy is unlikely.
- Regular periods until now, suggesting hormonal regulation.
- Possible stress or anxiety factors.
Steps to take:
- Wait a few more days (up to 10-14 days late).
- Take a pregnancy test (to rule out unlikely pregnancy).
- Consult a gynecologist for:
- Pelvic exam
- Hormone level checks
- Ultrasound (if necessary)
- Discuss stress management techniques.
- Keep track of your cycle and symptoms.
Hormonal Imbalance Signs:
- Irregular periods
- Mood swings
- Acne
- Breast tenderness
- Weight changes
Hormone Regulation Tips:

I've been using a clindamycin gel and isotretinoin tablet for my acne and scars for about 12 days now, but my skin seems to be getting oilier and I'm not seeing much improvement. In fact, I feel like my acne is more noticeable. Do you think I should stop using them, or is this normal and I should give it more time?
Concerns about Clindamycin gel and Isotretinoin tablet. _Possible Reasons for Oily Skin and Lack of Improvement:_ 1. _Initial breakout_: Isotretinoin can cause an initial flare-up of acne. 2. _Hormonal adjustments_: Isotretinoin can affect hormone levels, leading to increased oil production. 3. _Clindamycin gel_: Can cause skin dryness, but in some cases, may increase oil production. _Recommended Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult your dermatologist_: Discuss your concerns and the lack of improvement. 2. _Do not stop medication abruptly_: Consult your dermatologist before stopping or adjusting treatment. 3. _Consider adjustments to treatment_: Your dermatologist may adjust the dosage or recommend additional treatments to control oil production and acne. _Maintain Good Skincare Habits:_ 1. _Use non-comedogenic products_: Avoid products that clog pores. 2. _Keep your skin clean_: Gently wash your face twice a day. 3. _Avoid picking or popping pimples_: This can lead to further inflammation and scarring.

I'm dealing with psoriasis for the last 6 years and haven't found anything to help cure it. My dermatologist mentioned that if I choose allopathy, I'll have to take meds forever, so I'm sticking with homeopathy. I'm curious if it's okay for me to use tulsi immunity booster in my situation. Any advice would be helpful.
