All men will experience it some day; you will ultimately lose your hair completely or have a multiple variety of bald patches. But this does not only apply for men, women are just as likely to experience a major outbreak as men, the main different is that men can often get away with baldness, while as women find it harder to deal with.
As we all know with any illness, if you catch it early you will have the best possible chance of making a full recovery. This also applies for hair loss, recognising early signs and symptoms will hold you on the best path to getting the best treatment.
We will now take a look at a few of the initial signs and symptoms, which you may experience:
First and foremost for men it would ultimately have to be the receding hairline. You may experience this as early as your teenage years, so getting the correct treatment or eliminating hair loss habits, will hold you in the best position when you hit your 30s or 40s. As for women the first sign may be the thinning of hair. Every woman loves to have a thick full of hair. The thinning may well start in your 20s at the sides and top of your head.
Another starting symptom to keep in mind, is if you start getting patches of hair loss. These may well prove to be the beginning of the progressive stage for both males and females, and should be consulted with straight away.
Alternatively another condition that you may get that is not really linked with aging hair loss is called Telogen Effluvium. You will notice this occurring when your hair follicles start to get very weak. This is a sudden onset, and your hair will tend to fall out when it's either brushed, or slightly pulled.
Sometimes hair loss is a totally natural process, and some men even like becoming bald. This being said though hair loss may be a sign to a further underlying health condition. If you are worried about losing your hair, or have any complications, then you should visit your local GP, or a hair loss professional. They will then be able to perform a number of tests to diagnose the problem, such as a punch biopsy, which is where they extract a tiny segment of the scalp for testing. You may also have to have a variety of screening tests, which include testing for diabetes and auto immune diseases.
