		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Womens hair loss is almost as common as mens, and more common than many realise. And as her hair is a more important part of her look, womens hair loss can cause more severe psychological distress for women than for men. For men, hair loss can be a normal, if unwanted, part of life. Many men just choose to live with it. But womens hair loss can be very distressing. </P><P>Hair loss can be socially acceptable for men, even fashionable, but for women it is not.There can be many reasons for womens hair loss. Some of them can be the same as for men. Certain diseases can cause hair loss, as well as certain medications, for example. These can be similar for men and women.And then some womens hair loss can be caused by conditions specific to women. Menopause for example.And women can suffer from inherited hair loss, just as men do. </P><P>Female pattern baldness exists just as male pattern baldness does. Womens hair loss caused by inherited factors will usually take a slightly different form. Inherited womens hair loss tends to manifest itself in different ways and different places than for men.Women usually maintain their hairline, and suffer from thinning hair, whereas men tend to lose their hairline and often all hair in certain places.It is not generally understood in the community that womens hair loss is almost as common as mens. It is often less visible, and women can cover it up often so it is not noticed as often.And womens hair loss can be the cause of more severe psychological reactions in women than men and so women can often benefit from some forms of counselling.So if you are suffering from womens hair loss what do you do? It is vital to understand that you can only take the appropriate steps to attempt to control or reverse your hair loss once you know what is causing it. Visit your doctor and if necessary your doctor will refer you to a specialist. </P><P>Then you know why you are losing your hair. You should receive some clear instructions from your medical professional on the options open to you, the likelihood of success, the possible side affects if any and the cost. Only then can you make an informed decision on how to deal with womens hair loss as it affects you.Different causes of womens hair loss are treated very differently. Many of the treatments available to women are the same as those available to men, some are different.So, if you are suffering from womens hair loss do something about it now. Don't ignore it and worry. </P><P>Visit your doctor and find out why, whether you need to do anything about it and if so what.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>If you've paid a visit to your doctor, in 99% of cases you'd agree that Propecia is the only hair loss remedy that they know about...Why is that, you ask?Well, its the most well-known hair loss drug around the world. And pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds of millions to make sure that doctors know all about their drugs...See, chances are that your doctor knows next to nothing about hair loss (or its medical name, alopecia). So they'll probably write you a prescription for Propecia. In fact, many doctors don't even know how it works...Now, please don't get me wrong...I am not having a dig at your doctor...Doctors, most of the time, do an amazing job. And I know, because my father is a doctor - an amazing doctor...But the truth is, your doctor is far too busy to spend time researching hair loss remedies...At the same time, many doctors don't like using the phrase "I don't know"...So when you go to your doctor, keep in mind that they probably won't know why you're losing your hair...And they also won't have a clue about all the powerful hair loss treatments available...That's where you come in...See, you need to partner with your doctor. </P><P>You need to educate yourself so that you can approach your doctor with ideas...Sounds like a weird concept, doesn't it?Listen to me: You MUST meet with your doctor before using any hair loss remedies. Your doctor knows you personally, and can tell you whether certain hair loss remedies will help you or hurt you. And believe me, using hair loss treatments that are inappropriate for you can further damage your hair AND the rest of you...The bottom line?Put yourself in the driver's seat by getting the best education on hair loss you possibly can. Share this information with your doctor, and together you can create your personal hair loss treatment plan.... </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Most of the time, hair loss occurs due to heredity. Therefore, it may not be possible to prevent hair loss. However, there are a few things in which individuals can do to prevent hair loss or further hair damage, in the event that the hair is lost due to heredity and other means.  In preventing hair loss, it is important to know what causes it. Knowing the cause allows individuals to avoid those circumstances, unless it is related to genes. </P><P>Sometimes hair loss occurs because of high stress or chemicals and hair dyes. In these instances, individuals may choose not to use hair chemicals or avoid high stress situations so that hair loss may be prevented. Although it may be difficult to know exactly why hair loss is happening, it is a beneficial idea to avoid certain possible harming agents, such as stress and hair chemicals. Even if these agents are not the direct cause, they be contributing to the overall damage of hair and hair loss. Proper nutrition and healthy living also aid in the prevention of hair loss. </P><P>Without certain nutrients, damaged hair does not have the potential to repair and this leads to further hair loss.  Hair loss prevention may or may not be an option for those losing hair. However, by taking good care of the body and hair, hair loss, or any further hair loss, may be prevented. Overall, hair loss prevention relates to the cause of hair loss and the care of the body and hair.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Finasteride was initially marketed to treat prostate conditions under the name Proscar in 5mg pills. It was known to inhibit the formation of DHT, a major contributor to both prostate cancer and male pattern hair loss.Subsequent research showed that a 1mg daily dose of the same drug was sufficient to control hair loss for 83% of men after two years of treatment. Since 1998 this version has been marketed under the brand name Propecia and it remains the only prescription drug approved by the FDA specifically to treat hair loss. This approval extends only to men's hair loss because of the dangers finasteride presents to unborn male fetuses. Women of child bearing age should therefore consult with their physician before considering the use of this drug.The main purpose of Propecia is to halt hair loss and maintain what hair coverage is left. </P><P>It is therefore popular with younger men who want to control hair loss at an early stage. Men of all ages use it in combination with minoxidil to achieve a hair loss strategy that both halts hair loss and encourages new growth.Propecia works by interfering with the process of androgenetic hair loss which usually follows this process:<ol>	<li>High levels of an enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase occur in cells of the hair follicle.	<li>This enzyme converts testosterone into DHT.	<li>DHT causes miniaturization of robust terminal hairs.	<li>This results in fine, soft vellus hairs that provide limited scalp coverage.	<li>The growth phase gradually shortens until these hairs are lost permanently.</ol>Propecia inhibits the formation of DHT and over a period of several months reduces levels of DHT sufficiently to minimize its effects on the hair follicle.As with any drug, finasteride can cause side effects to a minority of users. The FDA trials reported a 2% incidence of varying side effects but these tended to lessen as the body adjusted to the drug over a period of months. Although Propecia or cheaper generic versions are easily obtained on the internet it is strongly recommended that you seek the advice of your doctor, at least in the first instance.You can find out more about Propecia and other hair loss treatments at the site listed below.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>The onset of menopause can often lead to hair loss and has long been a part of aging that many women fear the most. These days many more women are also experiencing thinning and bald spots as they mature, and both men and women are reaching out for new solutions. Even though there is no real ?cure', there are many things that can be done to help. Both hormones and genes are to blame for menopause causing acute hair loss, as is the aging process. Confirming the causes of your loss with a competent and experienced dermatologist is the first step in determining your best treatment options. </P><P>It's possible to have temporary loss of hair caused by physical stress, emotional stress, thyroid abnormalities, medications and hormonal changes (such as androgens and estrogens during menopause) normally associated with females. Tension on the hair by prolonged use of hair weaving or corn rows can also cause permanent loss. There are autoimmune disorders such as Alopecia Areata that cause patchy loss of hair often in small circular areas in different areas of the scalp. Alopecia Totalis is a total loss of hair on the scalp and is considered an advanced form of Areata. Alopecia Universalis is total hair loss of the entire body. </P><P>People with diseases such as diabetes and lupus have also reported losing hair as a result. It's normal to shed some hair each day as about 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time during a normal phase that lasts for 2 to 6 years at one time. Some women notice they are losing hair about 3 months after delivering a child. This is related to a hormone loss and is usually temporary. Several medicines have been known to cause hair loss such as blood thinners (anticoagulants), medicines used for gout and in chemotherapy to treat cancer. </P><P>Also, the use of vitamin A, birth control pills and antidepressants has been known to cause hair loss. Male pattern baldness is usually inherited from your genes. An over abundance of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is an active form of testosterone, within the hair follicle can create this type of hair loss. Current medications are aimed at slowing this common type of baldness including Minoxidil which is commonly called Rogaine and is available without a prescription. Both men and women can apply this product to the scalp. </P><P>Another medicine, Finasteride, and called Propecia is available in pill form without prescription but is meant only for men. It can take up to 6 months in order to tell if these medications are helping. Remember, the onset of menopause can often lead to hair loss and has long been a part of aging that many women and men fear the most. Even though there is no real cute, there are many things that can be done to help. Select the Hair Loss Doc Shop to locate a doctor near you.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Most hair loss sufferers seek solutions from Western medicine or turn to remedies derived from local traditions. Some experts however argue that the ayurvedic system of medicine has much to offer in dealing with hair loss conditions.Ayurveda is the traditional system of medicine practiced in India and Sri Lanka. It is a complete approach to health care designed to promote a way of life rather than an occasional treatment. As a holistic system of medicine ayurveda focuses on our uniqueness and takes into account our mental attitude, lifestyle and spirit which should not be treated in isolation from each other.According to ayurveda, the following principles are beneficial to healthy and plentiful hair:<ul>	<li>The scalp must be kept cool, so protection from sun and washing in cold or lukewarm water are paramount.	<li>Sound nutrition is key, so a hair-friendly diet should emphasize proteins, iron, zinc, sulfur, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex and essential fatty acids.	<li>Use should be made of hair analysis to ascertain toxicity levels and nutritional deficiencies.	<li>Oils, for example sesame and coconut, should be applied to the scalp to nourish, lubricate and strengthen the roots. This will also improve circulation to the head.</ul>You can find out more about alternative hair loss treatments by visiting the site listed below.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Hair loss, in both men and women, can be a difficult matter to face. Most of the time, the individuals who are dealing with hair loss focus solely on the prevention/treatment of hair loss rather than the origin, which may aid in the prevention/treatment of hair loss. Although hair loss causes vary from person to person, there are a few main factors that cause hair loss, such as heredity and aging.In men, the most common causes of hair loss are heredity, hormones and aging. These contribute to the potential for men to lose hair. In women, some common causes of hair loss include poor circulation, hormonal changes after menopause or having a baby, and poor diet. </P><P>A few other causes of hair loss include high stress, diabetes, certain drugs, chemicals and hair dyes, vitamin deficiencies and poor nutrition, and so on.In the case of losing hair based on genes, there may not be much that men or women can do in the way of prevention. Chances are that if a parent or close relative, or many close relatives, suffer from hair loss, these individuals with also have hair loss caused by heredity. In these instances, hair loss acts like a genetic based disease or trait that carries itself in DNA. However, not all hair loss is heredity based. In fact, some individuals may experience hair loss, while their parents and close relatives have not. </P><P>Usually, this means that another factor is causing the hair loss, like high stress or poor nutrition.When individuals experience hair loss at early ages or in drastic amounts, this generally indicates that these persons are sustaining an agent that is contributing to the hair loss. As aforementioned, along with others, causes of hair loss, especially in premature and/or drastic cases, are heredity, high stress and weakness from overworking, hair dyes and other chemicals, diseases, and so on.Depending on the reasons for hair loss, there are different methods to attempt to treat this condition; however, it is important to first recognize the cause of hair loss in order to discern which type of treatment to use, if any. For example, if the cause of hair loss is a disease, or treatment for a disease, like in the case of using chemotherapy to treat cancer, then a treatment may not aid in the prevention of hair loss. Yet, if the cause of hair loss is from stress, then attempts may be made to prevent stress and treatment products may be used to repair already damaged hair.Overall, hair loss, no matter what the cause, is a difficult matter to confront. Knowing the cause of hair loss, however, may contribute to the prevention/treatment of hair loss. </P><P>Individuals may not have control over why they are losing hair ? from heredity to aging ? yet they may find the necessary means to attempt to treat the damaged hair. The multiple factors contributing to hair loss make the task of undertaking the treatment of hair loss difficult, but not impossible. Even in the most extreme cases, there is usually a solution for the cause.. </P>]]></content:encoded>
