Hair
loss is like cancer, medical science has been on the rollercoaster since the
last decade and scientists have found cures for many diseases, but all of our
pride comes to a point of shame when it’s about finding the cure of hair loss. The
issue is so natural that men now don’t really think too much about it rather
they accept the truth that there is no possible cure of this problem. Whereas
fact is that cure is there, but only if the victim really wants to solve it.
Also it should be remembered that hair fall is natural and it’s a part of the
life cycle of a hair, but when the number of hair fall exceeds the limit then
it calls for an immediate attention therefore if the hair is falling more than
the usual rate then it’s time when you should find the causes and it’s
remedies.

There
are three phases in a human hair life cycle, anagen,catagen and telogen. The
hair is in growing stage when in anagen, then it starts to break down in
catagen and finally comes telogen, when the hair is in resting phase. Studies
have found that near about 10% of scalp hair could be found resting in telogen
at any time, they generally don’t grow
and are prepared for cyclic shedding.
Although
too much stress, abrupt nutritional change
, internal system failure can lead to mass hair loss, but they are not
considered as primary reason rather it’s a proven fact that if hair loss runs
in your family then 90% chance is there that you would experience the same
before you come to thirty. Still hormonal changes, nutritional changes, stress
these factors can significantly accelerate the process of hair falling and as
soon as you point out the causes the more chance that your hair will start to
re grow. Sometimes even some drugs can also be the cause of temporary hair
fall, instead of finding the causes on your own it’s better that you contact
your family physician or a dermatologist who would be able to do a fine
analysis of hair fall and provide you with a better solution. Hair loss can
also come up as a side effect of other treatments, for example if a person goes
through chemotherapy for cancer treatment then he/she would experience a
complete hair loss, which is sad and there is no way to stop this.
Treatments-
Actually the industry of hair loss medicine is huge and full of scams,
therefore the purchaser should stay aware of them. There are only a few
medicines which have been scientifically proven to be effective for hair loss
and they are also approved by FDA.
Minoxidil-
Best for crown area hair loss, it is also available easily and don’t require
any prescription. However it is advised to consult with a doctor so as to know
about the proper dose.
Prpecia(finpecia)-
This medicine is best for those who are experiencing androgenic hair loss, the
medicine is FDA approved but only for men, however when used “off label” in women it showed no
side effects but still it’s not recommended to use it for women without getting
prior approval of the doctor.
Dutasteride-
Recently this medicine has been approved by FDA for hair loss treatment,
earlier it was used for treatment of enlarged prostate in men.
