Hair Loss

What Is Male Hair Loss?
While male hair loss may be perceived as a natural rite of age, it can also be a “heads up” for signaling physical or mental health problems. Throughout the ages, hair length and style have made statements about one’s economic status, political views, and style preferences. When providing a description of someone, hair color, length, and style are often followed by gender. Hair, or lack of it, is an effective way to identify men. Your physician can provide medication, surgery, treatments, prevention tools, or guidance in seeking supportive counseling. No matter what your self-assessment, hair loss should not be dismissed as vanity, or unimportant, as it provides significant information about your overall and specific physical and mental health.
