Last Sunday I was enjoying my weekend just lazing around the house. It's a great relief to stay away from the computer even if it's just for a day. I picked up the newspaper and as I had enough time I went through each and every page which I normally don't mainly due to lack of time. Then I reached a page where arrays of advertisement from weigh loss pills to cosmetic surgeries were printed. What surprised me the most was the advertisement for treatment of hair loss and hair growth with before and after pictures of successful patients? Is baldness taking over? Is it so common?



It makes me wonder that of all the advertisement why hair loss products had to be more. What was even more amazing was that the products were especially for men, to cure hair loss and baldness. So, I was pondering on the issue of baldness and as I was thinking about it I began to see indeed many of the men I know, my father included, are no longer sporting much hair. I took out my album and went through old pictures of my father and at once noticed the big difference. Though he is not so old in age he seems to look aged and now I understand it was because of his hair.

So, I began to count all the bald people I know most of them my father's friend, my old teachers, uncles, the baker etc. They are of course past their 50's and 60's I compare photos and recollect the early memories I had of them. There I can see so many changes and I was wondering where all the hair had gone which they used to lovingly side part with a small comb that could always be seen on the back pocket of their bellbottom pants.

Then my thought moved to the females my mother, aunts, my friend's mother etc. Though not looking as young as they used to be they look younger than their age and have still got beautiful hair though many grey could also be seen. Then I realized that just as our physical features are different so is the hair loss.

We lose some hair everyday which is to be replaced with a new hair. Though we lose hair everyday at the same time we can see new hairs coming up but this does not happen in the case of men. Men start losing hair in their 20's and continue to lose till they are past 60, by then very little hair are left on their heads. Hair starts to fall in the forehead region which is also termed as receding hairline. But slowly the hair left take up a shape of a horse shoe i.e. the hair are left only on the side and backside of the head and the other area becomes bald.

The loss of hair in men known as male-pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia is caused by the increased of androgens, the sex hormones which makes the scalp very sensitive. Hair regrowth is impossible as the hair follicles start to shrink due to androgen. Though the actual reason why androgen may increase is not known however it is believed that the androgens may increase, due to coronary heart disease, prostrate cancer, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome or it can even be hereditary.

As can be seen in many newspapers and magazines male pattern hair loss does happen to men but it can be prevented and controlled. There are many treatments from herbal remedies to different drugs and therapies. Propecia pill, approved by the FDA for the treatment of male-pattern baldness (on the top and front of the scalp) is one of them, which is believed to bring effective results. It is found that Propecia not only halts the shedding of hair but also helps in the re-growth of the lost hair.

Propecia is a prescription medicine and comes in the dosage of 1mg which must be taken once daily with or without food. Go for Propecia prescription but only after having full knowledge about the medicine as like other medicines Propecia too has some mild side-effects like impotency, decrease in libido and less volume of ejaculate. If you experience swelling of the lip and rashes on the skin you must immediately consult a doctor. Therefore, if you are going to order Propecia consulting a doctor is a must for checking your compatibility with the medicine and also for the right Propecia dosage.

Buy Propecia but only if your doctor approves of it else, you can bank on the herbal remedies, all you have to do is browse the net and get the right information for your hair and its treatment
