Hair Loss And Thyroid Treatment

Male Hair Loss – Causes and Treatment!

Hair loss continues to be a major problem in both men and women. The cause of which may vary from individual to individual, it is therefore treated differently. There may be hormonal problems or hair loss due to genetic problems such as androgenetic alopecia. This is the most common cause for male baldness. Over 50% of men suffer from baldness due to androgenetic alopecia. Men who fall in the age category of 30 to 60 are more prone to alopecia. This androgenetic alopecia is hereditary in nature. If your dad had suffered baldness due to this, then there is a greater chance of you facing the same. Such hair conditions can be treated and reversed.

Causes of male hair loss are:

Emotional and physical stress
Male pattern baldness
Lack of calorie
Lack of zinc and iron
Deficiency of protein
Thyroid disease
Hormonal problems
Puberty

The earlier this problem is detected the better the results are. Balding can be seen from the front hairline back through your crown. You may have receding hair line, signs of hair thinning in the front, tiny bald spot on the crown or there is baldness on top while the rest of the head looks fine. Propecia and Minoxidil are the two popularly used FDA approved medications to treat male pattern baldness. They fight against the DHT which causes male pattern baldness.

Emotional and physical stress, hormonal imbalance, chemotherapy, thyroid disease, stress and puberty may also cause severe hair fall problems. Hypo and hyperthyroid disorder are known to cause hair fall. Treating thyroid disease can alleviate your hair problems and promote hair growth.

Other hair loss treatments used commonly in both men and women are:

Laser treatment: Nourish your hair root with the help of laser treatment. This further strengthens your hair follicle and makes it thick.

Blue light: hair surface is regenerated with the use of red light.

Red light: With red light deepest portion of your scalp is stimulated.

Massage treatment from experts help easy flow of blood and acts as a good stimulant of hair growth.

These are susceptible to the effects of male hair loss. Read extensively online and you will get more tips to restore your hair condition.

Thyroid related effects?

I was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid in my early teens and soon had it removed with radioactive iodine pills. Now of course I have no thyroid and take a Levothyroxine hormone pill everyday to keep up my metabolism. I went through a few months in the beginning when I stopped taking the pills and my body became a prison, I was tired all the time, extremely depressed, never hungry, and my hair was falling out. I take my pills daily now and feel great compared to then.
But I still experience constant daily hair loss, I am only 21 and fear I will have no hair by the time I am 35 or 40 is there anything I can do to strengthen my hair or stop the hair loss from happening?
Also wondering if I can boost my metabolism any more since I have gained weight from this treatment. How can I boost my metabolism without a thyroid???

year ago my husband suffered from hair loss too and he started trying everything you can imagine to stop his hair loss. the things that really worked for him was:

1) Vitamin A – an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;

2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The ‘B’ vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;

3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;

4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);

5) also he used herbal treatment – TrichoZed
It is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!

It worked and still works for him!

I do not know if any pharmacies carry TrichoZed but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.trichozed.info/why.php

It enhances hair growth by blocking DHT (Dihydrotestostrone) – a major cause of hair loss!

good luck!

not only my and my husband`s own personal experience
