A Look at Hair Loss Solutions For Men

By John Alderson


If you're a man experiencing hair loss, it's best not to panic, but to try to find the best treatment. There are plenty of highly effective hair loss solutions for men today and new solutions being created every day. With so many options such as diet and nutrition plans, prescription drugs, and hair transplants the odds are good that there's a program for you.

Most of the men who are suffering from hair loss between the ages of youth and their middle ages have a condition known as male pattern baldness. Men who suffer from this condition can thank all sides of their family trees. DHT, which is a hormone leading to hair loss, is the end result of this genetic condition. This particular condition has responded favorably to natural remedies. Saw Palmetto is one such treatment that has been used to slow hair loss in addition to improving prostate health. There are no known side effects associated with Saw Palmetto and it is easily found in health food and nutrition store. It's a natural DHT inhibitor, so it can be effective at reversing hair loss.

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. Strenuous exercise may get the blood and endorphins pumping but it does very little, it seems, to stimulate the hair follicles. 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. This doesn't mean that you should suddenly stop exercising but it does mean you should note the manner in which you exercise.

You should be aware of the possible side effects of any medication you're taking. There are very few drugs on the market today that don't have some sort of side effect to keep in mind. In most cases you can find the side effect information right on the bottle.

It's not a good idea to just quit taking your medicine, talk to your doctor and see if he or she can offer an alternative medication that will be effective without causing hair loss. 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.

This article has offered plenty of practical advice for addressing your hair loss needs. If you have any concerns that it could be caused by a medical condition, it's best to see a doctor to at least rule this out. If you're serious about eliminating your hair loss issues it's a good idea to start with a healthy diet and supplements such as Saw Palmetto. If all else fails, you may want to consider laser treatment or even a hair transplant. The problem isn't finding an effective treatment for hair loss; it's finding the most effective treatment for your particular type of hair loss..
