Male baldness and hair loss treatment
Hair today, gone tomorrow
Male baldness is a problem that affects a major section of the population. Quite a set-back for male ego, the affected are willing to go to great lengths to correct it, finds Ritusmita Biswas
Mihir Bhatia had tried everything. From Hibiscus juice to Chinese concoction, homeopathy, allopathy and naturopathy; he had done it all. Nothing, however, proved to be useful. As the few hair on Mihir’s head grew scarcer by the day, he plunged into the deep delves of depression.
Mihir Bhatia is a typical example of thousands of young men across the globe who go bald every year. In fact, according to recent statistics, a major section of the adult male population globally suffers from the typical male pattern baldness. This form of baldness usually begins in the teenage years and becomes more common as men age. The latest scientific research reveals that the male hormone, testosterone, is converted to another male hormone, 5-DHT, in the hair follicles. In genetically susceptible men, the hair follicles on the front and top of their scalps will become more fine over the years under the influence of 5-DHT. Eventually, the hair completely disappears.
