significantly alter many aspects about their lives

More than 50% of women who begin to suffer from thinning hair alter their lifestyles significantly as a result. A survey which involved a thousand women noted that a third of them were aware that their hair was thinning or desired thicker hair. The study which was undertaken by a hair care company called Peter Lamas Products is interesting because it also shows that twice as many women talk to their hairdresser about the problem of thinning hair rather than going to see a doctor.

The study also noted that over half of all women said that thinning hair led them to wearing hats, using more than one product every day to cosmetically boost the thickness of their hair, to wearing their hair in a hairstyle which accentuated thickness or to wash their hair less often. Ukmedix News also knows that many men who suffer from male pattern baldness significantly alter many aspects about their lives. For example we have spoken to men who said that their male pattern baldness affects their confidence and thus they socialise less and generally are less outgoing.

Interestingly the survey noted that only fifteen percent of men said that they would talk to the hairdresser about hair loss and only eleven percent said that they would consult a doctor. In fact the best method to deal with hair loss is always to take proper medical advice as opposed to going for cosmetic remedies which tend to be temporary and do not really get to the root of the condition.

Male pattern baldness does have a cure in the use of the hair loss medication Propecia which prevents the buildup of dihydrotestosterone in the scalp. Women are not allowed to use Propecia. While cosmetic remedies can boost confidence in the shorter term it is better to get qualified medical advice for a long term solution to hair loss and this applies to both men and women.
