I'm 19 years female. I have excess androgen due to kidney problem. Menstruation is REGULAR. Hirsutism and alopecia are the main problems. I'm taking 1000 mg metformin at night and 100 mg aldactone (spironolactone) early morning on doctor's advice. will this help to reduce my symptoms? Will this medication affect my fertility afterwards?

Yes. But for alopecia more specific medicine required. You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please meet me in my clinic or do direct personal online consultation by sending photos for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
