If your hair starts falling out months after losing weight quickly or having surgery, the most likely cause is telogen effluvium.

Best online weight loss clinic in Spain (2026): what to compare and what to expect

What has been measured is what happens when weight comes off: in DiRECT, 46% of participants with type 2 diabetes achieved remission at one year, rising to 86% among those who lost 15 kg or more.

Finasteride price in Spain: the real monthly cost, branded and generic
In Spain, finasteride 1 mg for hair loss is prescription-only, and you should not assume it is funded by the National Health System. There is no verified official retail price (PVP) in the facts available, so the real cost is easier to understand by pack size and how long each pack lasts. At 1 mg a day, a 28-tablet pack lasts just under a month and a 98-tablet pack lasts just over three months.
