How To Cope With Male Pattern Baldness

Hair loss can affect an individual enormously.

Both males and females believe that their appearance, and thus confidence, is, in part, based on them having lovely looks.

Many men have an image that is personified through their hairstyles, and this is when some men can feel a real identity crisis as they start to lose their hair. For some men, this can happen at a very early age, and they can believe that it will affect them when it comes to starting a relationship. They begin to lose confidence in meeting new people, and this can have a real impact on their lives. In some extreme cases, they may not even want to leave the house. This is an issue that needs addressing as soon as possible.

For males especially, hair loss can be part of the aging process, caused by changing hormone levels, and is not necessarily linked to underlying health conditions. However, this does not make it any easier to come to terms with.

What Action Can You Take?

There is a lot of information on the internet relating to baldness, and just by googling you will feel a lot less alone. A simple internet search will confirm how many people are affected by male pattern baldness in the UK. You will feel better knowing that you are not the only one who is suffering. However, this will not fully address the issue or bring back your hair.

There are ways that you can deal with your hair loss such as changing your hairstyle, perhaps cutting it shorter, or shaving it all off. You may even want to look into hair transplant (restoration) costs and procedures. You can also check out other procedures like PRP treatments for hair. This, however, does not suit everyone, both physically and mentally. Depending upon where the hair loss occurs, you may be able to still have a style that hides the fact that you are balding in other parts of your crown. However, this style will not last as the hair loss continues.

Some people may try to build their confidence in other ways, by wearing vibrant clothing or working out at the gym to have a super toned body, for example. Some may decide to wear hats or grow facial hair. However, this does not address the real issue; it merely covers over the cracks.

Increased testosterone is connected to stronger hair roots and, as such, can be linked to losing your hair. Titletown men often sign up for low testosterone treatment in Green Bay in order to improve hair quality. This is a popular treatment method that many men are turning to to boost their confidence and self-esteem.

Don’t Suffer in Silence

You must talk about how you feel about your hair loss with your friends or family. It is always best to communicate any distressing situation with others. You should never feel embarrassed or afraid to do this. It is also important if you have children that they do not make unnecessary comments regarding your hair loss. The hair loss probably needs sensitively explaining to them without causing any distress for the children or yourself. 

If you do not feel comfortable discussing this with your family or friends, or if you do not have a partner you could also join an online group. Here you can discuss how you feel with others in the same boat. In some areas of the country, you will also find support groups where you can meet to discuss how you are feeling, face to face. This will help you to feel less isolated.

The members of your group may also offer you some solutions that you have not thought about. You may also see the effects of medication as those in the group may start to regain their hair whilst using different treatments. You may witness the uplifting effect that this has on the individuals and begin to appreciate that this could be how you could also feel, and that hope, and hair, can be restored.

At this point, one possible step is to consult your doctor or a medical website about viable hair loss treatments. The physician will want to know about any baldness in your family history. They may even recommend tests to establish any underlying cause of hair loss. Once any underlying medical conditions are ruled out, the doctor can then offer some guidance in terms of medication. Treatments can include different medications, tablets or foams, light therapy, and transplantation.

Try Over the Counter Proven Remedies

Remember that you want to try a tried and tested and reputable solution. Do some research to ensure that you get the right product. Many products proclaim to reduce hair loss or provide a cure for hair loss, but there are only a few main ones that work, in many cases. Shampoos are much less effective than medications, which are proven to stop hair loss and revitalise thick, natural hair.

If you prefer to find other solutions, then why not take a look at other treatments at sites like Manual.co? This website allows you to answer questions, get a full diagnosis of the problem and they will then offer you a resolution to your problem. The hair loss treatment that is advised will be specific to your circumstances. The suggested treatment may include hair loss tablets or a foam, both of which are tried and tested in reversing hair loss. If the medication is stopped, hair loss is likely to reoccur. 

Once you have discussed and decided on the best plan for you, the medication will be despatched with free speedy delivery. The online experts will be there to advise and reassure you, at any time, if you have any questions or concerns. 

Minoxidil and Finasteride are both proven treatments to promote regrowth and to stop any further hair loss. Finasteride, also known as Propecia, is a tablet that you take daily. It reduces the levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in your body, which then stops further hair loss. Minoxidil is a foam or lotion that you rub in to the balding areas of the scalp and again has proven effects on reducing male pattern baldness. 

So, what you can expect to see after using the medication? Small hairs will be replaced with thicker hairs which will improve the appearance and feel of your hair. Most importantly, you will begin to feel like your old self. You will be happy when you look in the mirror and your woes will be beaten. Your self-esteem will return, and your old life will resume.
