Hair loss is a problem for men and women. There are many causes for hair loss and determining the cause is the first step to formulating a treatment plan. The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women is termed androgenic or androgenetic alopecia. As suggested by the name, this type of hair loss is related to genetics. Unfortunately there are many different genes related to hair loss and not all of them have been completely identified. Hair loss can come with a person's mother or father or either side's relatives. The pattern of loss in men due to androgenic alopecia is rather well defined and easy to identify. In women, although they can suffer from androgenic alopecia, the pattern of hair loss is not as well defined. In some cases, further testing in women is necessary to determine if the hair loss is due to a medical cause which should be treated.
It is estimated that around half of all men and a quarter of all women will experience some problem with baldness at some stage in their life. Whilst for men baldness can sometimes be fashionable it is certainly not fashionable for women, and it's probably true to say that men who suffer from it generally do not consider it fashionable. So the market for thinning hair products is massive and there are plenty looking for the best product for thinning hair. Let's examine the ins and outs of hair loss treatments.
It can be disturbing and socially crippling for women to lose their hair. Those ladies that suffer from hair loss have unusual emotional problems for the reason that our people places such a great price on covered, long, well-appointed hair.
There are many physical changes, a lot of which are caused by hormonal shifts that occur as we age, that occur in both men and women as they get older. Men do not experience anything akin to menopause in women, but they do experience something called andropause which is due to a drop in testosterone. Approximately 10% of a male's testosterone levels is lost every decade beginning in a man's thirties. This hormonal alteration causes many changes, the most notable of which is a drop in the libido.
