Why Hair Loss is Not So Openly Discussed?

There are many reasons that hair loss is not so openly discussed in the mainstream media as other medical conditions are discussed. Think of it this way - yellow teeth or 'not so pearly white' teeth are actually a medical condition and there are commercials upon commercials on teeth whitening products or solutions to better the condition of your teeth. Although a medical condition that some would need to visit their local dentist to fix - the over the counter products treat the condition as a "beauty fix" that can better overall appearance. But it is not so easy to recall when the last time someone saw a commercial for the treatment of hair loss.

Female hair loss is a taboo subject that is not openly discussed and the reason that it is not so discussed is not really known. The condition affects both men and women to an astronomical amount in the US and all over the world and educating both men and women about hair loss treatments is crucial to stopping the condition from getting worse over time. With treatments, they are actually much more effective if a regimen is started earlier on in the condition. With hair loss, as it gets worse - once it's gone...it's gone. So starting a treatment earlier rather than later is much advised. But if men and women are not properly educated on this fact, it may be too late to start a treatment regimen once the hair is already gone.

When the education about the condition becomes more mainstream, this may help people understand firstly what is causing the loss as well as what their options are that will treat the condition. Male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness are two of the most common causes for hair loss. The topical and medical hair loss treatment options for the condition are available for both men and women and can range from natural treatments to treatments that contain chemicals, such as minoxidil in Rogaine for both men and women. Propecia is a medical treatment that is only FDA-approved for men and unfortunately at this time there are no medical drugs for women to treat the loss or thinning. But with most treatment options, starting it sooner rather than later is really the best.

A natural hair loss treatment option for both men and women, Revivogen is a dermatologist formulated product to treat thinning hair with scalp therapy, and shampoo and conditioners. Rate this Article
