Hair Loss

Female hair density changes are often caused by hormone changes during and right after pregnancy and again during menopause.  Most often the hair the hair thins out but does not disappear altogether. Female hair loss from cancer treatments most often returns (sorry we can't promise it is just an observations.). The new growth is usually a little coarser and a little more curly than the original hair before the cancer treatment.

Male hair loss, (again from personal observations) when it happens seems to start with recessions of the hairline above each eye beginning around age 18 and continuing in small "sprints" of additional hair loss about every 10 years until age 40. So guys if you have you hair at age 40, in most cases you are going to keep it, along with some new hair, usually unwanted, that starts growing from the nose and on the ears.

Finasteride:  Propecia Finsitrade or just plain Propecia : was originally used to treat enlarged prostate glands. In lower dose, it is now also used to treat inherited, male pattern baldness hair loss in men. (Finistride is presently used to stop hair loss not to grow back hair you have already lost.) If you are male and are no longer worried about starting a family finistrade or Propecia, may the the right medical answer for you.  It requires a prescription so see your doctor.
