Men and women Hair Loss Treatment
Men and women – everyone loses hair. On the average, it is normal to shed about 50-100 hairs every day. But if you start to notice bald patches or thinning, you may be experiencing hair loss (alopecia).
A hereditary condition called male-pattern and female –pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss. In fact, nearly 80 million people are reported to have genetic hair thinning or baldness in the United States. Male-pattern baldness follows a pattern of a receding hairline, followed by thinning of the hair on the crown and temples. During female-pattern baldness, hair usually only thins on top of the head.
On the other hand, hair loss which begins suddenly may be caused by hormonal changes, certain medical conditions (thyroid problems, scalp infections, alopecia areata), diet or childbirth.
