With a few lucky
exceptions, hair loss is something that almost all men have to face as they
age. The most common type of baldness in men is androgenic alopecia or
male pattern baldness (MPB). The main reasons for this condition are hormonal
issues and genetic predisposition. In addition, other factors like medical
conditions, side effects of medications, bad diet and stress/worry, can also accentuate the problem.

The Signs Of MPB
MPB is typically a
progressive condition that starts slowly, often imperceptibly, and continues
until the amount of hair loss is obvious. Doctors use what is known as the
Norwood-Hamilton scale to identify the various stages of hair loss caused by
MPB. These include:
· The
hairline begins to recede from the front of the scalp.
· The
loss continues in cycles and in each cycle the hair continually becomes less dense and weaker.
· The
hair loss increases until it affects the top of the head.
· The
loss continues to expand down the sides of the head.
Traditional Treatment
Traditional
medicine does not have a recognized and accepted cure for hair loss. There are
some formulations that may cause a temporary spurt in hair growth or act in
other ways to provide the short-term appearance of reduced MPB. There are also
options like hair transplants etc. These only work in some cases and even if
they do, there is always the risk that the transplants themselves will start to
fall out over time. The search for a
cure for baldness has been going on for ages and pharmaceutical companies continue to look for
a solution because they know that if one is found, it will be a billion-dollar
invention.
The problem with
the traditional treatment for MPB is that, it deals only with the issue of how
to cause hair to grow again on the scalp. It does not address the factors that
have caused the hair loss. This is the reason why homeopathic treatment for MPB
has become so popular.
Homeopathy And MPB
Homeopathy acts on
the principle that imbalance in the human metabolic system causes illness and disease. The causes for the
imbalance can be external -such as an infection, or internal – as in the case of
MPB which is mainly genetic. When you consult a homeopathic
doctor about MPB, he or she will do a complete examination
to determine the various factors that influence the condition and the speed at
which it spreads. Once this is done, there are a number of medications that can
be prescribed, to enable the metabolism
regain its natural balance and promote hair growth. In other words, homeopathy
enables the body to be more effective in fighting off the signs and symptoms of
MPB naturally. This means that the results are free from side-effects and long lasting.
If you are an
adult male and suspect that you may have MPB, consult a homeopathic doctor without delay. The earlier the condition is diagnosed and treatment begun, the better the results.
