Male Hair Loss Treatment

Male hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia) is caused by the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) being over produced in your body. Signs of male pattern baldness usually begin between the ages of twenty and forty five. The first symptoms may be thinning at the crown, creating a bald spot, or a receding hair line appearing at the temples and above the forehead.

Many men are choosing the opition of using a treatment to try to stop the hair loss, and promote new hair growth. Some of the available male hair loss treatments have side effects:

• Over the counter medications, such as Rogaine (Oral Minoxidil), have possible drug interactions and side effects, such as making blood pressure drop, increasing heart rate, causing weight gain with fluid retention, eye irritation, swelling, hives, itching, and rash.
• Prescription drugs, such as Propecia (finasteride), have possible side effects including decreased sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, and less semen.

There are also options that have no known side effects:

• Vitamins for hair loss have natural ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, and oils, that work together to block DHT, and promote new hair growth. One of the main ingredients in some of these supplements is Saw Palmetto. This is the ingredient that blocks DHT.
• Herbs for hair loss include herbs that are specially blended to block DHT, and promote circulation to the scalp- encouraging new hair growth.
• Massaging oils are meant to massage into the scalp. They are made with essential oils that have a cleansing effect on the scalp. They clean away dead hair follicles, and give nutrition to new hair follicles.

Whatever option you are interested in, find all the information you can about it. When you make a decision, you can have confidence that you have done all you need to do to help yourself.
