75 Males Are Going Bald |
When Baldness Is Just Too Common!
Two out of every three men can expect to be bald or balding (male pattern
baldness) by the time they reach the age of 50, and as many as 36% of
American women between the ages of 40 and 49 agonize over the loss of
their hair.
It is a myth that baldness and hair loss comes from the mother's side of the
family. A tendency to baldness is inherited from either side of the family. A
maternal grandfather and uncles with thick heads of hair are no assurance
against male pattern baldness.
Normal hair loss in a single day can range from 50 to 100 hairs which are
usually replaced, baldness becomes apparent when 25% of the scalp hair
has been lost and new hair does not grow back.
Hair loss is a gradual process, some research has indicated that it takes 5
years or more for follicle roots to fully cease.
Standing in the shower shampooing, you notice clumps of hair washing
down the drain. At first, you're confused and worried, but a visit to the
dermatologist reveals that the very feeling you are likely experiencing as a
result of your suddenly-thinning scalp could also be its cause: stress.
Baldness Is Inherited?
Nearly half of bald men would not be bald if they did not have this genetic
variation, said Nothen. The hair loss in these younger men, he added, was
much more severe than in the men who still had a reason to use a comb in
their 60s.
There are clearly other genetic factors involved with balding, said Nothen,
"which is obvious when we look at non-affected men over 60 years of age."
About 40 percent had the same genetic alteration, yet managed to keep
their hair, he said. Still, the findings help define why some vulnerable men
may be at risk for early hair loss.
Facts on Propecia
You may need to take PROPECIA daily for 3 months or more before you
see a benefit from taking PROPECIA. If PROPECIA has not worked for you
within 12 months, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit. (see Hair
Loss Fact)
PROPECIA can only work over the long term if you continue taking it. If you
stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within
12 months of stopping treatment.
Although results will vary, generally you will not be able to grow back all the
hair you have lost.
