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 for male 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

igredients, 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.



Hair energizer hair products by Ferm-T are also being used for treating hair loss. Even women can

use this product without any side effect. The Hair energizer helps to stop hair thinning and hair

loss. The Hair Energizer kit comes with a bottle of Follicle spray, 15 ml tube Jojoba oil, a bottle of

shampoo, and 60 tablets of vitamins & minerals. Advecia, another product helps a lot to treat

hair loss. It is essential for revitalizing the hair follicles. This is useful in treating the follicles, which

are deprived of nutrients.



In contrast generaly Women's hair loss does not result in total hair loss as like that of men. Even

though women's hair loss is partial, it is devastating for the individual when it does happen.



The psychological impact of women's hair loss is extensive when compared to men since women

consider their hair as a vital part of their beauty and find it to be an important part of their outer

appearance.



Women's hair loss has different reasons. Heredity is one of those. Moreover the treatment of

women's hair loss is entirely different than that of men, because the medication offered for re-

growth of hair may cause the growth of hair on other parts of the body such as chest, back, and

face. Most women don't like facial hair growth.



Women suffering from hair loss need to consult a doctor to find out what causes the hair loss.

Once the cause has been ascertained, the physician will be able to prescribe the suitable

medication. For women's hair loss, many physicians prescribe estrogen to correct the condition.



Women's hair loss can be treated with lucocorticoids. Topical application of Minoxodil or Anthralin

is the only recommended treatment available for women's hair loss. Women's hair loss in the initial

stage can be treated well and the response to the treatment is also extremely good. So if you are

losing hair, see a doctor as soon as possible.



An important condition called Androgenic alopecia is found to be affecting about 2% of the

population. This condition causes complete hair loss all over the body. Women's hair loss falling

under this category is found to be difficult to cure. Doctors may prescribe certain medicines to

reduce the symptoms of Androgenic alopecia.



Women who have just given birth to a child also suffer from hair loss very often. This type of hair

loss is temporary and may stop within 6 months after birth. This is mainly due to the fact that there

is a higher estrogen level during pregnancy, which might result in keeping the hair follicles in the

growth phase. Immediately after childbirth, there is a sudden withdrawl of estrogen, which may

cause the hair to enter into the hair loss phase. Hair may grow again after 6 months, but applying

hair tonic may hasten re-growth of hair.



Sometimes crash diets may lead to women's hair loss and also rapid weight loss over a short

period. In addition to this, emotional and physical stress may also result in hair loss. Immediately

after the alleviation of the stress, the hair falling will be stopped.



Frequent dyeing and chemicals e.g. Perming solutions used on hair may cause hair falling. This

condition may occur when a woman uses chemicals very frequently. The hair begins to break off.

The hair

falling treatment products when applied on the scalp may strengthen the follicles.



Once you have identified the main cause of hair loss, choose the right treatment at the right time

to ensure better hair growth. In most serious cases of women's hair loss, it is always advisable to

seek the help of a dermatologist for complete diagnosis and

treatment plan.
