Understanding the Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss can be attributed to various factors, and understanding its root causes is essential for choosing the right solution:
• Genetics: Hereditary hair loss, also known as male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) or female pattern baldness, is a common cause of hair loss. It tends to run in families and is primarily influenced by genetic factors.
• Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances, such as those occurring during menopause, pregnancy, or thyroid disorders, can contribute to hair loss.
• Stress: High levels of stress can trigger a condition called telogen effluvium, leading to significant hair shedding.
• Medical Conditions:Certain medical conditions, such as alopecia areata or scalp infections, can result in hair loss.
• Medications:Some medications, like chemotherapy drugs, can cause temporary hair loss as a side effect.
• Nutritional Deficiencies:Inadequate intake of essential nutrients, such as iron and protein, can affect hair health and lead to hair loss.

Finasteride FAQs

What is Finasteride used for?

Finasteride is used to treat men who have symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia.BPH is caused by an enlarged prostate. Men with BPH usually have difficulty urinating, a decreased flow of urination, hesitation at the beginning of urination, and a need to get up at night to urinate. Finasteride will make these symptoms less severe and reduce the chance that prostate surgery will be needed. For men with hair loss, finasteride will increase the number of scalp hairs but will not increase the amount of body hair.

How does Finasteride work for hair loss?

Finasteride blocks the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme changes testosterone to another hormone that causes the prostate to grow. By blocking this enzyme, Finasteride can increase testosterone levels in the body, which decreases prostate size and causes scalp hair to grow.

How effective is Finasteride for hair loss?

Many clinical trials and results of 10-year follow-up studies examining finasteride and its long-term efficacy suggest significant lasting increases in hair growth after long-term finasteride use. A finasteride treatment is most effective on the vertex scalp, less on the frontal scalp, and it is least effective on the temporal regions. In addition to improved hair counts, a finasteride treatment can lead to increased hair thickness as well.

Can Finasteride stop further hair loss?

Finasteride is able to stop further hair loss in this way in over 95% of men that take it.
