Male Pattern Hair Loss Treatments
Different Types of Male Hair Loss
Hair will often regrow naturally with little or no intervention.
It is important to ascertain the cause of the hair loss in order to be
able to treat it effectively. Nutrient deficiency and stress can both cause
baldness. Neither is a good candidate for either medication or surgical
intervention. Trauma and even adverse effects to hair treatments may also
be causes - again little intervention is needed. Cancer therapy is well
known for causing hair loss however there are also other groups of drugs,
which have a similar effect such as antidepressants and antihypertensives.
The patient information leaflet enclosed with these medicines should list
baldness, hair loss, or alopecia (the medical term for hair loss) as a
side effect if a link has been found.
Male pattern baldness is by far the most common cause
of premature hair loss in men. Unlike the other varieties,
hair loss occurs according to a pattern. The front starts
to recede, and the crown starts to thin, these areas
join eventually leading to one bald area. This can occur
at any time after puberty.
Male Pattern Hair Loss Treatments
There are many hair loss treatments on the market however
it is best to ascertain the cause of hair loss in order
to treat it effectively. Nutrient delicacy may be reversed
by including more zinc and omega-3 fatty acids in a
diet. Dark green leafy vegetables and oily fish are
high in these nutrients, or proprietary supplements
can be bought from a pharmacy. Only two pharmaceuticals
are licensed by the FDA as male pattern hair loss treatments.
These are minoxodil and finasteride. The topical scalp
applications are available over the counter; tablets
are only available through a physician. Hair transplantation
may be the only option available when other male pattern
hair loss treatments have failed.
