Male pattern hair loss
Male pattern hair loss is a very common problem faced by almost every male, in this problem men experience thinning of the hair on the scalp. Often it results in a thick hairline and/or balding at the top of the head. All these changes typically begin gradually in men in their 20s.
According to doctors, this type of hair loss is known as Androgenetic alopecia. Doctors in, doing research on this problem believe that male pattern hair loss is a problem due to heredity and it is dependent on a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. DHT is responsible for a shortening of the growth phase and a thinning of the hair.
Working of Propecia
Propecia helps in lowering the levels of dihydrotestosterone hormone in the scalp and serum it by blocking 5 alpha-reductase, which is an important enzyme for regulating the hair follicle.
Results of doctor's research in past many years, in which doctors have studied over 2000 men, aged 20 to 41 with average to individual amounts of ongoing hair loss. All men, whether using propecia was given a medical shampoo. Out of these men, around 1100 with hair loss at the top of the head were studied for an additional of few months.
Men using propecia were able to maintain or increase the number of visible scalp hair. They identified improvement in their hair in the very first year after using propecia, with the effect maintained in the second year. It's a proven record that a number of men who did not use propecia were on the verge of becoming bald.
A good percentage of men, who were treated with propecia, found no further hair loss. Around 47% of men found improvement in their hair growth compared with men receiving placebo. Propecia do not appear to affect hair in places other than the scalp.
Does Propecia work for everyone?
In almost more than 50% cases, Propecia has helped in incrementing the number of scalp hair, helping to fill in thin or balding areas of the scalp. In doctor's experiments, men examined with propecia noted a slowing of their hair loss during two years of use. There is not enough proof present which shows that propecia works for the treatment of thin hairline in the temporal area on both sides of the head.
The problem of male pattern hair loss occurs gradually over time. On average, healthy hair has a growth rate of only about half an inch in every month. Therefore, propecia takes time to see any result.
One should take propecia on a daily basis for at least three months or more to see a benefit of taking Propecia. Propecia can only help in the long term course if it is continued. If propecia do not show any result for you in the time period twelve months, further use is unlikely to be benefited. If someone stops using propecia, he will start losing the hair he has gained within 12 months of stopping treatment. This problem should be consulted with the doctor.
