There is no connection between your gum anesthesia and your hair, but if you are stressed, you might induce more hair loss as stress is a factor for hair loss.
The simple fact is I cannot diagnose your condition. If you think you were wrongly diagnosed, see another doctor. Genetic Male Pattern Balding is not a difficult diagnosis to make. Having a small microscope to look at your scalp helps for a miniaturization study but this is not always necessary. Propecia does not work for […]
In general brand name drugs and generic drugs are the same. The difference is the cost, color, or shape of the pill. The active drug ingredient is the same. I personally cannot guarantee this but most of the patients use the generic form of Propecia and do well. I hear (rather read) on occasion on […]
Imagine, you go to buy a car, and you are clear as to what you want. A good car salesman is a professional who knows how to bond with you so that salesmen can gain their trust to possibly have you buy the next model up with loads of options without appearing too pushy. You […]
Hair loss for men in general is caused by genetic factors. In other instances illness or medical conditions which cause stress to the body or adverse effects from medication can also be responsible for hair loss. Treatment for tuberculosis (TB) sometimes can mean you tested positive and were once exposed to tuberculosis and doctors gave […]
I really don’t know what you’re seeing, so I can not recommend anything without checking out the hair loss for myself. My examination would include Miniaturiaton studies and bulk measurement with a HAIRCHECK instrument. I need to make a diagnosis and to see the distribution of your hair loss and knowing what you mean by […]
Diet can cause hair loss and if you lost too much weight too fast (this is what is sounds like). Extremes and stress on your body could be a cause of your hair loss. Caloric restriction in conjunction with a balanced diet is the way to lose weight and not lose your hair (assuming that […]
I do not know how to help you. You clearly had male pattern balding that was not complete and the chemotherapy stressed your fine, miniaturized hairs and finished the balding process in them. One of our patients had used the ‘Cold Cap’ when the took Chemotherapy and lost less than half of the hair. Few […]
I am amazed at the questions we receive at times. How does one come up with these things? Late night watching Star Trek? Hair loss in men that is androgenic alopecia (genetic male pattern balding) is due to the genes. Not the shape of one’s skull or growth of skull shape. You can have a […]
You cannot expect results when you take a medication inconsistently. The recommended regimen for Propecia is to take the medication daily. You need to stick with a knowledgeable doctor and maintain taking the drug daily if you want a chance at some results. Taking Propecia is also a lifetime commitment so you need to understand […]
You are almost certainly too young to have hair transplants. Wtihout seeing you and examining you, I can not really understand what your hair looks like throughout the scalp. Seeing through the hair to the scalp means that you hair is probably very, very fine. This is a common look, something that my generation called […]
Hair loss can increase from stress amongst many other things, such as the normal progression of hair loss that occurs in some men (even those on Propecia). As one of my patients, please come see me and let me see if your miniaturization has increased. We can get a baseline on the HAIRCHECK instrument by […]
Stresses (emotional, surgical, medical, etc) can all cause some degree of hair loss. It usually takes about one year or so before you notice the hairs regrow once the stress is under control. Or, it could be the medication you’re on. Divigel (estradiol gel) does list mild hair loss as a common side effect. It […]
We have seen many identical twins (same genes) over our 23 years at NHI but they do not bald or lose hair at the same time. Maybe several months to years apart. This may suggest some outside influence. For example one set of twins twin used anabolic steroid and lost his hair fast while his […]
