Hair loss is deeply disturbing. People will go to great lengths to correct this ailment. What few people understand is that hair loss is a symptom of a constellation of diseases, not just a single problem limited to aging men.
Dr. Krakow explains the different types of hair loss diseases, as well as treatments. The vast majority of hair loss cases involve a genetic predisposition in the category of androgenic alopecia. Options exist to halt the progression of this loss (medications), as well as to replace what is gone (hair replacement). Of course, it’s important not to reach a premature conclusion as to the cause, and to make sure your physician does not as well.
