HTML Version	<h1>Baldness is online resource of male baldness treatments</h1> © By: <a href='http://fileblogs.com/index.php?page=author&author_name=David+Sprake' target='_blank'>David Sprake</a><br><br> Baldness is a dreaded word not because it is a deadly disease but because it significantly changes the image of the person going bald. Just as hair gives beauty to a person, baldness gives the opposite effect. Although not everyone may express their anxiety over baldness, statistics shows that men spend large amounts of money just to fight baldness. It clearly depicts that baldness can be an image disturbance and needs to be dealt with for those who are concern with how one looks. Baldness is more common to man rather than women. In fact, Androgenic alopecia or male baldness is the most common. It is caused by the DHT sex hormone in men that result to a progressive hair loss although the extent of this is different among male individuals. Most male baldness occurs during the age of 50’s. Male baldness has two common forms, the alopecia areata and the alopecia totalis. The former is indicated by hair loss on scalps, beards and eyebrows which are seen as patches while the latter indicates a total baldness on the head. Another extreme case on male baldness is the alopecia universalis which result to total baldness in the body. Although male baldness is common as it is, women are also prone to baldness which has also its causes. Aside from these natural causes of baldness, there are also baldness caused by medical conditions such as one that undergone chemotherapy due to cancer, severe fever, ringworm in the scalp, various mycotic infections and other hormonal changes after pregnancy such as hypothyroidism. The use of hair products that are harmful to hair may also result to baldness. Fortunately, there are products and technologies that help in the baldness treatment. These bald treatments vary from surgery, pills, applications or supplements. One of which is the newly discovered Propecia, a prescription drug recommended by the doctor after undergoing various medical evaluation to the patient. Propecia is taken orally and may have various side effects so caution is advised. It is limited to those patients with no medical problems. Propecia has a generic name finasteride and is used commonly for treatment of baldness. Just like any other prescription drugs, Propecia has several contraindications that need to be noted. Another is herbal medicine such as saw palmetto. Although this has not been necessarily approved by the FDA, saw palmetto is found to have an effect on the DHT by converting testosterone to DHT thereby preventing hair loss. Saw palmetto is a bushy plant found in southern US and has been initially used to cure other diseases such as UTI and cancer. It was also recommended for the treatment of respiratory and reproductive although later, saw palmetto is best known to cure hair loss and prostate enlargements. Applications such as Rogaine are also recommended for baldness treatment. Such products promote hair growth when applied to areas that are balding and needs to be used continually until the desired growth of hair is met. Aside from this, surgery is also possible for baldness such as hair transplant and laser therapy, both initiating hair growth on affected areas.<br><br> About the Author:<br><br> Baldness is online resource of Male Baldness. <a href=http://www.baldness.eu/> Male baldness </a> has inflicted psychological distress in most men.
