The Causes of Baldness and Why You Should Know Them

Once hair is lost, it is gone forever so it's easy to understand why anyone would panic when they realize that they are balding

. This panic can strike both men and women. Actually, not all hair loss should be worried about, because there are times when your hair will fall out. 90% of our hair is in a state to growth every month and increases by about 1cm per month. The rest are in phase of stopping to grow for 2-3 months and then eventually fall out. 50-100 pieces of hair loss per day is still normal. Hair loss is also influenced by other factors such as heredity of baldness, age, gender and ethnicity. At the age of 50 years men and women will experience more hair loss, but worse things happen to men. 75% of men will become bald at this age. Trying to hide baldness is not a cure for baldness. Baldness in young men is often inherited from their parents. Male pattern baldness is called androgenetic alopecia, a condition caused by excessive androgen. In some research that has been done, bald men were slightly more likely to suffer coronary heart disease than men with a full head of hair. Patients with baldness on the top of the head were also found to be more prone to high cholesterol and hypertension. Baldness in women usually occurs in parts of the head. Women more than often experience hair thinning rather than total baldness. This is usually associated with aging and the normal hormonal changes such as the time after childbirth, during menopause and after they stop taking birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. Baldness that occurs suddenly with considerable balding in a short time period can also be due to stress, high fever, or because of the effects of treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation. What kind of hair loss have you experienced? See this sign of baldness as a sign that there may be other diseases that accompany it.
