Recently diagnosed with FPHL - is this typical of FPHL or TE? (Photos)

Question

I was recently diagnosed with early FPHL and aparnt recovering TE. Is this hair loss at the back more typical of TE? Or FPHL? My part seems to be more intact than my crown area which i dont think is typical of FPHL. Just to add i have been and still am under huge stress im not sure if this is affecting my current hair loss. As i said i have been diagnosed but unsure if this person is reliable. Thanks in advance.

Stress definitely effects hair loss especially if the hair loss happens more suddenly. Other common factors that can effect hair loss in women include low ferritin levels, low thyroid hormones and post menopause are also a common problem. Using hair bleach and blowdrying frequently can effect this as well. Correcting the underlying etiology as well as Help Hair is a protein powder product that has worked for many women as well as minoxidil. PRP has been used as well. If those are unable to help, then hair transplant can be an option.
