Reasons for Hair Loss in Men – Plus Options for Treatment
Filed Under San Diego Hair Transplant, San Diego Hair Restoration, San Diego Hair Replacement
The medical condition of androgenic alopecia is commonly known as male pattern baldness and female pattern hair loss. 95% or more of cases of extreme amounts of hair loss are due to this medical condition. If you notice large amounts of hair coming out in the shower or in your hair brush, you might be suffering from androgenic alopecia.
The cause of hair loss in this condition is due to the thinning of single hair strands until they get too thin and the hair shafts simply break off at the scalp. By the time the hair reaches this condition, the follicle becomes useless to support hair growth.
There are other causes for hair loss in men than simply a medical condition that you have no control over. Nutrition and overall health play a huge role in the health, thickness and shine of your hair. You may have a protein deficiency, leading to hair loss because the body will use the protein ordinarily set aside to support healthy hair growth and use it in more critical areas of the body. Stress is also a common reason for hair loss. Comic strips portray it well, but it is a serious issue that can escalate to unhealthy levels. Severe dandruff could be another cause for hair loss.
To treat baldness in both men and women, a medication that has been approved by the FDA called minoxidil is available. When applied to the scalp, this product promotes the growth of hair in about 40% to 90% of people. A number of other products in the form of shampoos, sprays and herbal treatments can be used to help naturally promote hair growth. Shampoos are only effective in mild cases but can be especially effective when used simultaneously with other hair loss treatment methods. Sprays hide the problem rather than treating it and using herbal treatments can be tricky because you need to find the right combination for your personal needs.
A more effective and permanent way to treat even the most severe cases of hair loss is a method called hair transplant surgery. You can achieve that natural-looking flow with virtually undetectable results. Hair transplant surgery is when hair is grafted into thinning areas of your scalp from the fringe of the scalp. Modern technology has transformed the surgery tremendously from one of great risk and scars to a procedure where individual hairs can be transplanted accurately, including the roots. This may be the answer to your hair loss dilemma.
If you have tried several different hair loss products and are frustrated with the lack of results, hair restoration might be the best option for you.
