Men's Hair Loss - How to Address the Problem

The problem of hair loss is one that most men find disturbing. For a lot of men this is a sign that they have lost the vitality of youth. Some men shave their heads in order to avoid the appearance of losing their hair. The thing you need to know, more than anything else, is that there are options available to hair loss. Here are a few excellent strategies to help you deal with your hair loss problem.

Many times, hair loss is caused by a medical condition. In addition to the sicknesses themselves that can cause hair loss there are also treatments and medications that can lead to hair loss too. The one that most people associate with more than any other is chemotherapy but there are others to keep in mind also. Illnesses related to the thyroid often result in hair loss so you'll want to get that tested if you're trying to pinpoint the cause. If you believe that a medical condition is in play to cause your hair loss then you need to talk to your doctor. Hair loss isn't always the condition; sometimes it's the symptom.

While exercise is touted as the solution to almost every heath problem (for good reason in most cases), when it comes to hair loss it's not so clear cut.

Exercise is good for so many things that's why it's so surprising that it's not really considered good for hair loss - especially strenuous exercise. Oddly enough, strenuous exercise is known to stimulate the levels of testosterone in the body and hair loss is often caused by a specific type of testosterone known as DHT. This is the primary reason that performance enhancing drugs like steroids are so widely associated with hair loss. While this is by no means an indication that you should quit exercising it is a sign that you may need to change the types of exercises you do.

Make a point of learning all the potential side effects of your medications. There are very few drugs on the market today that don't have some sort of side effect to keep in mind. Most medicine packaging offers some sort of warning or information about possible side effects.

If so, don't just stop taking it, as this could be dangerous, but talk to your doctor. Losing your hair as a result of taking prescription medication (aside from something like chemotherapy) is not all that common, but if you've observed your hair loss soon after taking something your doctor prescribed, this could be the case. Yes, men's hair loss, particularly when it is your hair loss, can be devastating but it doesn't have to be the end of your career. Nowadays there are many alternatives for treatment; picking one out might prove to be the biggest of these challenges. The treatments covered in this article are just the tips of the ice bugs, when used properly than can reverse hair loss completely in many men.
