Hair loss can appear at any stage in life and in most cases it is simply accepted as a man’s fate, a cruel twist of genetics that you can do nothing about. Regardless of your feelings about balding, it is imperative that a medical diagnosis is sought in every case to rule out controllable medical and environmental causes.

The first step is to visit your family Doctor to discuss your hair loss. He or she can determine if it is being caused by genetics, medications, illness or one of a variety of other factors.

After ruling out those possibilities your Doctor will likely refer you to take the next step and talk to a certified dermatologist (visit the American Board of Dermatology or Canadian Dermatology Association) for a hair loss analysis. They will identify what type and stage of hair loss you are experiencing and can recommend treatment for your situation.

The key points to remember are this;

– men’s hair loss can be an indicator of poor health and should be taken seriously.

– treatments for thinning hair are most effective in the early stages of loss

So even if your hair loss is genetic, or you think it is, don’t give-up hope and don’t wait – take control!
