Understanding Male Hair Loss
Male Hair loss generally refers to the male pattern baldness. It
is medically referred as "Androgenic Alopecia". Male hair loss
affects a person at any time after puberty. The hair usually
recedes the letter "M" and the crown hair becomes thinner as age
advances.
Hair loss is common in men and women. But a lot more men suffer
from hair loss than women. Treatment of male hair loss differs a
lot from female hair loss treatment. Propecia is a good example
for a male hair loss product that should not be used by women..
If a women is pregnant Propecia may injure the baby in the womb.
Propecia will also cause hair growth on parts of the body where
women do not like to have hair (body, face)
Hence Propecia is not recommended for women. Male hair loss can
be treated with propecia but with some side effects. The side
effects include impotency and lack of sex drive. So you should
consult your physician before taking this medicine.
In early days, Rogaine was used to treat high blood pressure,
but now it is primarily used to stop hair loss. Rogaine should
be used continuously for three to four months to have some
fruitful results.
The reason formale hair loss is mainly due to the levels of DHT
(Dihydro testosterone) in the scalp. The DHT is present in a
person immediately after his puberty and the purpose of DHT is
to develop secondary sexual characteristics. DHT gets attached
to the hair follicle and prevents the assimilation of nutrients
to the follicles which in turn cause thinning out of hair and
finally shedding of hair which results in hair loss.
In order to prevent hair loss there are many products available
on the market. The most important ingredients, which prevent
hair loss is saw palmetto. It is clearly evident that saw
palmetto blocks DHTs and is a natural medication. A product
called Hair Genesis consists of saw palmetto and is extensively
used to cure hair loss.
