But in every specific case on a question how to struggle against alopecia, only the expert can answer you.

There are a lot of reasons of hair loss beginning, and in every special case many factors are involved, there is a whole complex, including genetic reasons. Of course, it is impossible to inherit alopecia, as it is impossible to inherit diabetes or cancer. Only susceptibility to it, accruing to other reasons, external or internal, can be genetically passed on, and lead to development of alopecia. So, if you want to achieve a victory over alopecia, it is necessary to identify the reason of this illness and then to understand, how to fight against it. Before beginning to treat it, the highly skilled doctor will do detailed examination of patients, in which other experts will also take part: endocrinologist, therapist, dermatologist, and even gynecologist for women.

Many people know that hair loss is caused by presence of dihydrotestosterone in blood, which negatively influences hair follicles. However, it does not give an explanation why someone has hair at the extremely old age, and others grow bald at 20.

Hair loss used to be a sign of redundancy of man’s hormone testosterone. However, researches have shown that follicles are not sensitive to this hormone, dihydrotestosterone destroys it. Then enzyme 5-alpha-reductase attracted attention of scientists, it is the so-called “committer of tragedy” (or “gene of alopecia”). During numerous researches it was found out that such behaviour of 5-alpha-reductase has purely hereditary character. And this gene passes from mother to son. In other words, if your grandfather by your mother’s side had problems with hair, there is 90 per cent of probability for you to face this problem during a life. Also it doesn’t matter that the grandfather grew bald being older than you are now but you can start to lose hair in the finest years of your life.

There are two reasons of appearance of dihydrotestosterone in the organism. Sexual system develops such raw materials as testosterone and enzyme 5-alpha-reductase processing testosterone in dihydrotestosterone. To change a…

Destiny often plays a low-down trick on a person. One of such unpleasant tricks is premature alopecia. Considering premature alopecia we mean hair loss at the age from 18 – 40 years.

We know for certain that such people as athletes, known politicians, actors can fell into a deep depression having problems with hair. Young men growing bald at early age think that, if you are 20 and already have alopecia, no normal girl will keep an appointment. They also think that it is easier to endure alopecia at 30 years when at least, you have a wife, children and good job.

There are, of course, explicit reasons of alopecia, but, as a rule, they are related to some original causes. It can be observed because of:
• strong irradiation, hair comes out in a few days;
• strong emotional shock, stress;
• benign tumor or malignant growth;
• heavy chronic diseases, such as diabetes or presence of hepatoliths;
• ablation of some digestive organs, because an organism can’t independently synthesise vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for creating new good hair any more;
• burn or mechanical damage of a scalp.

Unlike women, men forgive themselves a paunch, slack muscles and not too white teeth. But such defect of look as a bald causes men’s perfect horror. Then a man gets a complex and not everyone can overcome it.

The first coming out of hear causes men a lot of sufferings and none of the others are so intense: evenings off are spent on examining family albums and finding-out, who from next of kin done him such an unscrupulous shot in the eye: after all, baldness (if its owner, of course, does not work in hazardous conditions) has genetic character. The following stage is taking immediate actions: buying miracle medicines, not washing a head, making an appointment with a person with extrasensory perception and signing up to take some treatment in a beauty salon simultaneously.

Hair transplantations can be performed in many cities, but as a rule only very big companies advertise themselves. Unfortunately, we are sometimes faced with consequences of operations, which were carried out by those, who have no sufficient experience and high-grade knowledge in the field of hair transplantation. Believe us, the results can be very unpleasant. It is better to deal with doctors, who have a wide experience and won authority in this area. There are good doctors on every continent. We can also declare with all responsibility that there are doctors doing very bad work. Most distressingly, there are more bad doctors than good.

Actually we are assured that a skilled surgeon needs at least one year of practice before starting to work independently. He should assist more skilled experts inquiring into refinements.

Circumscribed alopecia is a phenomenon of frequent occurrence. Everyone, who is at the age of 3 or more, can get it. Children and teenagers during spring period begin to suffer from it.

Set of factors can cause hair loss and solution of this problem should be complex.
But first of all it is necessary to peep into your refrigerator, most likely, one of the reasons of your hair loss is there.

First of all, hair needs protein, because formation of new cells is impossible without it. Lack of it leads to delay of hair growth, and in some months its loss will begin. For maintaining a healthy look and growth of hair you should create such a diet according to which no less than 15 per cent of all calories which you consume per day, will give protein food, i.e. low-fat meat, chicken meat, fish, dairy products, eggs etc.

Eggs are a source of protein and fount of magnesium and selenium which are responsible for stable growth of hair and nails. However, do not be carried away by eggs, two-three eggs per day are quite enough.

Now a row type of transplantation is practiced. Under local anesthesia a surgeon cuts off a strip of skin 2 cm wide from ear to ear in donor, occipital, part of the client’s head. Strip must be divided into pieces with one or two-three hairs, then a doctor fixes it in a pit done by a special blade. It is remarkable that the pits will be made with a tip of 45-degree trying to make semblance of thickness after combing back. Transplantation of 1200 hair takes 5 hours, but the majority of patients need to do four operations with 6-month’s breaks between them.

The enemy №1 is stress.

You have, probably, noticed, that when you hit the bad patch: have problems at work and in a family, if your child is ill, hair starts to come out. And when you become calm and feel relieved and find strength to tidy up your vital problems, hair “revives”. This is because stresses negatively influence our hair. And if you are often nervous, vessels on a head become constricted and hair loss becomes chronic.

Dandruff attacks.

The second enemy of beautiful hair is dandruff. This means not only unesthetic look, but is also one of the most widespread reasons of hair loss. It makes hair roots weak, harms a skin, and plugs it, blocking free access for air. But medicines against dandruff not always help to solve the problem. It is necessary to find out its origin, first of all. If dandruff is caused by a fungus, shampoo containing antifungal components will help you. If seborrhea is the reason, you need to normalize secreting of fat by a head skin.

The presence of bald head can be an indicator of man’s predilection to cardiovascular pathologies. And though process of baldness does not cause a heart attack, its presence nevertheless indicates possibility of development of heart troubles.

Men included into the second group have an average degree of alopecia; there are owners of small number of hair on a crown…

The Egyptian priests were as bald as a mango. Buddhist monks can’t proceed to prayer, if their hair grows on some millimeters. Catholic priests are obliged to care for a bald place shaved in a form of a circle on the crown of the head. So, if a bald head is cultivated, somebody needs this.
