Hair Loss – Concerns and Remedies

admin — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 09:37:25 +0000

An adult person has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs on the head and some 100 of them fall off every day. So don’t panic if you find some stray hairs on your comb. Hair loss occurs due to various reasons, some of which are natural and some hereditary. You cannot prevent the natural thinning of your hairline, which happens over time as you grow older. But you can always treat hereditary hair fall, medically known as male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. This condition is prevalent among men in their teens and early twenties.

As the name suggests, male pattern baldness is characterised by gradual loss of hair in a specific pattern. Hair starts to fall from the crown first before it disappears from the scalp and anterior parts of the head. This type of baldness can be treated with hair loss medicines that inhibit the action of 5-alpha reductase II, an enzyme responsible for changing testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT decreases the width of hair follicles, and accelerates the process of hair loss. A daily dose of Propecia 1mg may be useful for you if you are experiencing hair loss on a regular basis.

Hair loss medication – Propecia finasteride

With finasteride as the active ingredient, Propecia is a 5-alpha reductase II inhibitor that works best if prescribed for long-term usage. This drug is only recommended for men. You need to use it for 3 months to before you see optimum results. It not only prevents the testosterone-DHT conversion, but also stimulates new hair growth.

At your fingertips!

You can buy finasteride online in the UK, but you need a valid prescription for that. Please be aware that the drug is not recommended for women. Also, women who are pregnant or planning to conceive any time soon shouldn’t handle crushed or broken Propecia tablets.

If you’re losing your hair, there may be many reasons other than the ‘natural’ ones. Stress in a multitude of forms can cause hair loss. Stress hits everyone at some time or another through finances, pregnancies, child birth, the death of someone close, disease, job problems, divorce, argumentative situations, etc. The good thing is that stress related hair loss often reverses itself when the stress has been gone for a time. Surgery is a type of stress also and in being such it can be responsible for hair loss, it too will restore after a period of time. A way to speed up the restoration process is upping your amount of exercise, this will help relieve symptoms of stress and help you recover quicker. Massage will often help in that area in addition to relaxing muscles and increasing blood flow to all organs including your hair follicles.

Drugs can also have an effect on your possibility of hair loss, many acne drugs are very good at promoting hair loss while performing their other activities. Viagra may make you happy in other areas but your hair on top of your head may not be as appreciative. Drugs that actively affect such things as moods and emotions are apt to cause hair loss as are acid reducers, cholesterol reducers, heart pills, anti-inflammatory drugs and a whole host of others.

Many of these drugs and situations you cannot help or stop so the best way to reduce their effect is to get plenty of exercise, but also relax, or get a massage. Look for hair treatments that contain Saw Palmetto (which isn’t hard to find) or stinging nettle. Stinging nettle is packed full of vitamins and it shares the ability to block production of DHT with Saw Palmetto.
