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

- Weight changes
Hormone Regulation Tips:
- Balanced diet
- Regular exercise
- Stress management (yoga, meditation)

View allI'm a 17-year-old who's sexually active and I'm a bit worried about something weird going on. I've noticed more and more small red dots on my penis, and though they don't hurt or itch, if I pinch them, they bleed a tiny bit and feel raw afterward. I had an accident a couple of weeks ago where I cut my foot on a rusty nail, but it seems fine with no infection. I'm on a school trip right now, so seeing a doctor isn't easy. Could this be something serious that I should get checked out? It's just strange because it started with only a few dots and now there are lots more all over the head and foreskin, and it's only been three days. Any idea what this could be?
That could be STD visit dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate management,refrain from sexual activity untill you are recovered.
