Hair Loss In Men And Remedies

By Michael Minton

Male Pattern Baldness accounts for more than 95% of hair loss in men. By age 35, two-thirds of American men will have some degree of appreciable hair loss and by age 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. About 25% of men who suffer from male pattern baldness begin the painful process before they reach 21.

Most men who suffer from hair loss have a lot of attention on the situation, and are willing to try whatever is available to change it. Some change jobs because of it. Their relationships are affected. Every facet of their lives is affected and they are most unhappy with this state of affairs.

Almost every hair loss remedy on the market is about as effective as Dr. Jones’ Medicine Show snake oil. Perhaps you’ve seen the infomercials on late night TV. Or the radio ads, guaranteed or your money back. Or the ads in magazines for men, promising hair growth that will attract a bevy of ladies. The ads are very common.

The various causes assigned to hair loss are too numerous to name. But it did not occur because you wore your baseball cap all the time, even while sleeping. Nor did it occur as a result of a nutritional deficiency. It is not a result of stress. And certainly it is not because of excess sweating. The name for male pattern baldness is Androgenic Alopecia. Androgens is a scientific name for male hormones. The hair loss occurs because of a genetic predisposition and because of the dwindling supply of hormones produced by the body as we age.

Since at this time there is no remedy for a genetic predisposition, a workable way to stop hair loss would be to restore the androgens (hormones) to the same level they were when one had a full head of hair – a level of a young man.

There are other symptoms that occur in men as they age, also due to dwindling hormone levels. A decrease in muscle mass and strength and an increase in body fat often occurs. Low energy level, anxiety, restlessness, decreased libido and hopelessness can also occur. The loss of hormones in women is called menopause. In men it is called andropause.

Women have been using hormone replacement therapy for quite some time. More recently it has been found to produce beneficial results in men. Most advantageous health, value of life, and improved life span is a result of a equilibrium of hormones in the body, not just one lone hormone. An important thing to know before embarking on such treatment though is that the replacement hormones must be bio-identical – that is to say, they must be exactly the same as the hormones in the body, not a synthetic or something close.

Medical testing is important to determine the exact amount of which hormones are needed. Starting hormone replacement early is also important, although benefits can be gained from starting at later ages, 50 or 60 or more. The benefits result in more than just stopping hair loss – prevention of heart attacks, lowering blood pressure, minimizing loss of muscle mass, re-invigorating libidoability and keeping the prostate gland healthy are just a few.
