Will Yaz or another anti-androgenic BCP help with genetic/FPHL?

Asked By:kara1025 in New York, NY

I am 33 yo female with shedding/thinning of hair the last two years, primarily at hairline/front and sides. All blood tests are normal, biopsy revealed mild androgentic alopecia. I stopped taking Yaz 9 months ago to see what would happen. Hair loss/miniaturization has continued/worsened. Will going back on Yaz or another anti-androgentic pill help stop hair loss or grow hair back? Any reason to stay off pill?
