Male Hair loss, also known as male pattern baldness, is medically referred to as "Androgenic Alopecia". Male hair loss can affect a person at any time after puberty. The hair usually recedes in a pattern like the letter "M" and the crown hair becomes thinner as age advances.

Hair loss is common in both men and women, but a lot more men suffer from hair loss than women. Treatment of male hair loss differs from female hair loss treatment. Propecia is a good example for a male hair loss product that should not be used by women.. If a woman is pregnant Propecia may injure the baby in the womb. Propecia will also cause hair growth on parts of the body where women do not normally want to have hair, like the upper lip and chin.

Male hair loss treatment with Propecia may have some side effects, including impotency and lack of sex drive, so consult your physician before taking this medicine.

Another treatment is Rogaine. In its early days, Rogaine was used to treat high blood pressure, but now it is primarily used to stop hair loss. Rogaine should be used continuously for three to four months to have fruitful results.

In order to prevent hair loss there are many products available on the market. One of the most important ingredients, which prevent hair loss is saw palmetto. It is clearly evident that saw palmetto blocks DHTs and is a natural medication. A product called Hair Genesis consists of saw palmetto and is extensively used to cure hair loss.

Hair energizer hair products by Ferm-T are also being used for treating hair loss. Even women can use this product without any side effect. The Hair energizer helps to stop hair thinning and hair loss. The Hair Energizer kit comes with a bottle of Follicle spray, 15 ml tube Jojoba oil, a bottle of shampoo, and 60 tablets of vitamins & minerals. Advecia, another product helps a lot to treat hair loss. It is essential for revitalizing the hair follicles. This is useful in treating the follicles, which are deprived of nutrients.
