Loss Hair
Losing your hair? Don’t worry. You’re not alone. Up to 50% of all men have some type of hair loss before age 50. Many men’s hair loss begins much earlier. Even teenagers have been known to wake up with lost hair on their pillows in the morning.
What causes hair loss?
The answer is not so simple. There are a variety of factors that can contribute to the loss of hair. One is simple genetics, and contrary to the popular myth the propensity to lose hair is actually passed down from the father’s side of the family and not the mothers. Of course, if you ask any bald man, he will tell you that his hair loss is caused by his superior virility. And there is some truth to this, as increased levels of male hormones do contribute to hair loss. Medical conditions, such as heart and prostate problems as well as diabetes can also trigger hair loss. So, if you’re noticing a sudden and rapid hair loss, please see a doctor for a full check-up ASAP. It could be something more serious than alopecia, or hair loss.
