Mens Hair Loss- How To Stop It

Article Title:

Article Body:

The scalp is nothing but the skin on the head. The skin of the scalp is same to 
the skin elsewhere. Like the body skin, hair skin also consists of two layers- 
the dermis and the epidermis. The hair is composed of a protein called keratin. 
The rate of hair growth varies from person to person. The growth of hair is always 
more between the ages of 20-30 and faster in summer as compare to winter. The 
hair dies and falls after a few years of growth. The average life of hair ranges 
from 2-4 years. 
But certain amount of hair is shed daily. The daily average shedding is estimated 
to be about 50-80 hairs. Hair loss beyond the estimated average indicates one 
or the other hair problems. Both male and female suffer from hair loss at one 
or the other point of time. The exact term used for any kind of hair loss is 
alopecia. Sometimes excess hair loss results in baldness also. Male hair loss 
and baldness is due to male hormones and often runs in families. It starts after 
puberty over the temples and the hairline that moves away and results in high 
forehead. 
The men usually start losing hair around 20-30's. Some men have areas on the 
scalp that are very sensitive to the male sex hormones that circulate in men's 
blood. The hormones make the hair follicles from which hair grows and shrink. 
These hair follicles become so small that they cannot replace lost hairs. For 
men hair loss is male pattern baldness. It is mainly caused by stress, poor 
nutrition and unclean scalp conditions. When the cause is corrected the hair 
will start growing again.
Hair loss is a normal part of the hair growth cycle. In fact, we typically 
lose 50 to 150 scalp hairs every day. Baldness (alopecia) results when hair 
toss occurs at an abnormally high rate; when hair replacement occurs at an abnormally 
slow rate; or when normal hairs are replaced by thinner, shorter ones.
Daniel Taheri, MD, Board Certified Dermatologist has treated many patients 
with hair loss over the years. Recently, Dr. Taheri shared some valuable insight 
about the causes and treatments of hair loss, as well as natural solutions.
First What Causes Hair Loss?-: Although there are many reasons for hair loss, 
95 percent of all cases are due to Androgenetic Alopecia, which is more commonly 
known as Male or Female Pattern Hair Loss. This genetic condition occurs more 
frequently in males, affecting approximately 40 million men in the United States.
: What Remedies Are Available? : Treating patients with male or female pattern 
hair loss tends to be quite challenging. This is due to the fact that most of 
the accepted treatments for hair loss have been less than effective and have 
potential side effects. Currently, there are two FDA-approved medications for 
treating hair loss: Rogaine[R] and Propecia[R]. Rogaine[R] is a topical solution 
that works by stimulating the hair follicle and keeping it in the growth phase. 
The side effects of Rogaine[R] may include headaches, palpitations and hair 
growth on the face. Propecia[R] is another medication available by prescription 
and is taken orally. It works by reducing the production of a hormone called 
Dihydro-Testosterone (DHT), which causes hair loss. Propecia[R] is recommended 
only for men and can have sexual side effects.
