Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal imbalance are often known to cause hair loss
problems, especially if the thyroid gland becomes overactive
(or even under active). Many hair loss products focuses on
balancing your hormonal levels, and it is important to make
sure that you have correctly identified the hair loss
trigger before starting treatment.
Other hormonal imbalances might
trigger hair loss: androgens and estrogens are essential
male and female hormones and their imbalance can cause
multiple physical changes, including falling hair. Your hair
loss product should be specifically designed to work in
particular hormonal problems – make sure to consult with
your doctor in order to identify the causes precisely.
Hair Loss and Prostate Gland
There is a definite connection between Male Pattern Baldness
(MPB) and the prostate gland. The prostate gland is actually
a cluster of small glands in males surrounding the urethra,
located just below the bladder. There is not a lot known
about all the functions of the prostate, except that it
serves to squeeze seminal fluid into and through the urethra
during ejaculation.
Prostate problems can cause serious problems with urination
if it becomes enlarged, and sometimes the prostate becomes
cancerous. Non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate is
called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
DHT is responsible for the division of cells in the
prostate, and is normally expelled by the prostate. However,
when the prostate fails to expel the DHT, it builds up and
causes enlargement. It has been confirmed that typical North
American and northern European diets lend to the
perpetuation of BPH and prostate cancer, whereas these are
uncommon phenomena in other lands and was even uncommon here
in the past.
This is significant since the overproduction of DHT is
responsible for BPH and prostate cancer, and is also
responsible for MPB or androgenetic alopecia.
The findings in research for BPH cures have usually
simultaneously produced benefits in hair growth.
