What scares men the most?  Mind you, it’s not marriage!

Seeing their hair slowly fall off and bald spots getting more noticeable on their scalp may cause men to feel anxious, no matter how hard they may try to hide it.  Going bald heightens the feeling of insecurity among men, and sometimes when other conditions, such as a scalp irritation or skin disease accompany thinning hair, the experience can be frightening.   Men, just like most women, may wallow in depression for a while, and not understanding their condition, panic may ensue.

As Normal as the Air You Breathe

The normal pattern for hair growth may last from 2 to 3 years; however, hair can grow at a length of about 1 centimeter every month and though it may not seem obvious, we normally shed a few centimeters of hair each day, as part of the body’s normal hair growth and hair loss process. The human body has a very complex system of making sure it does not grow so much hair in very little time, otherwise electric razors and disposable shavers can have a killing at the cash registers more than iPads.

What can be done to prevent or stop hair loss?

Aging backwards might help.  Seriously, there are over the counter medicines that can get the job done, but with fleeting results.  Treatment can be very costly, too.

DHT BLOCKERS TO THE RESCUE!

Are there non-surgical remedies to hair loss? Yes, luckily, a brand of DHT blockers available in the market today has been proven highly effective.

Dihydrotestosterone or DHT is a byproduct of Testosterone (appears mostly in men) that speeds up the destruction of hair follicles.  This condition will retard hair growth and will cause hair to fall out at a faster rate.  DHT Blockers, as the name suggests, slows down or completely stop DHT from damaging hair follicles.

When to Use DHT Blockers

At the first sign of falling hair, don’t panic.  Your diet, environment and those food supplements you take may have contributed to your condition.

Some men may experience extreme hair loss over a short span of time, resulting in early or premature balding. Although this is fairly common among men, women and even young children may also succumb to it.  This is where panic sets in.

What causes hair loss? As a general overview, many online medicine websites have outlined the leading causes of hair loss; as shown below:

•Tinea capitis (fungal infection)

•Telogen effluvium

•Androgenetic alopecia

•Alopecia areata

•Traction alopecia

•Trichotillomania

A condition known as Androgenetic Alopecia may cause severe hair loss among men. Hormonal imbalance, as well as fungal infections, can speed up an already receding hairline.  A person’s age and genetic makeup are also prime factors to consider.

Doctors will require a thorough checkup to make sure that the underlying cause of your hair loss is not associated with any type of medicine you are currently taking.  They will check your medical history, pry over your diet, and review certain genetic markers that may explain the type of hair loss you are experiencing lest, you would be taking medicines that may only aggravate your condition.

DHT Blockers are so far the best and safest way to prevent hair loss; however, it is highly recommended to first visit your family doctor and double-check whether any of your present medicine may be causing your hair loss, or whether you are suffering from a genetic disposition. It’s always best to understand the underlying causes of hair loss before finding the most efficient ways to solve it.
