Mechanism of premature hair loss


Mechanism of premature hair loss
 
There is a difference between the mechanisms of premature hair loss or pattern baldness according to the gender difference. The Androgenetic hair loss in men is called male pattern baldness.

Mechanism of premature hair loss
For example, men's baldness is caused by the contact of androgen receptors in hair follicles with DHT (dihydrotesterone) enzymes. It is produced from DHT-5-alpha reductase type I and II.

For example, women baldness involves additional factors, such as the concentration of Cytochrome P-450-aromatase around hair follicles, together with the distribution of androgen receptor proteins in and around hair follicles.

Women, the DHT (dihydrotestosterone) are produced in reaction to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) from the adrenal glands, together with the alpha 5 reductase and hydroxysteroid hydrogenase isomerase enzymes.

The cytochrome enzyme metabolizes androgens to estrogens, and changes in the ratio of estrogens and androgens to the estrogen level is high is hard to prevent the effects of androgens.

This physiological response, the difference in pattern baldness in men and women

Androgenetic mechanism of action men and women

Different concentrations of androgen metabolizing enzymes and androgen receptors are found in hair follicles of women when compared to men. The concentration of Cytochrome P-450-aromatase in frontal hair follicles six times higher in men compared to women when the frontal hair follicles. This concentration helps to maintain their front-line women's and men began to loose hair.

Women also have about 3 times less than the alpha-5-reductase type I or type II enzyme in frontal hair follicles compared to men. In contrast, androgen receptor content of the frontal hair follicles of men and 40% more hair follicles when compared with women who have hair loss in men is more evident.

Although there are differences in the mechanisms of premature hair loss in men and women, and treatment and rehabilitation procedures are the same: hair loss treatment for men and women are different, according to the intensity of hair loss.

If you are suffering from premature hair loss or baldness, for example, I have to thoroughly learn a little research before you consult a physician for treatment, hair treatment and rehabilitation medicine.

Difference in the hair loss causes of men and women

Hair loss is a common phenomenon, which affects individuals of every age, race and gender. There is a misconception that only men are prone to hair loss in women. Hair loss is an internal problem, in both genders although the symptoms and causes of hair loss is the difference between the two genders.

Androgenetic Alopecia is hair loss for men and women

Total hair loss that men and women suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia, which is also called as pattern baldness. Women also suffer from pattern baldness, and they may also suffer from other

 causes of hair loss such as Alopecia Areata, Telogen effluvium or other infectious diseases.

There are various causes of hair loss in men and women. Some of the most common cause of hair loss in both genders, some hair loss causes are especially evident in one gender than the other. For example, hair loss induced by hormonal imbalance more common in men than women.

The reason men's and women's hair loss

Some common causes of hair loss, both genders are improper diet, smoking, stress, hormonal imbalance, DHEA supplements, etc.

The causes of hair loss in women

Hair Loss in Women
Common cause of hair loss in women with hormonal imbalance, which may be due to a number of reasons. This may be due to the adoption of birth control pills, some of which contain progesterone drugs, which sometimes can help to androgens. These synthetic drugs and progesterone are responsible for androgenetic alopecia in women. It increases testosterone levels, which in turn increase the formation of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), and eventually lead to female pattern baldness. However, other more modern birth control pills may contain no androgenic progesterone’s or do not contain progesterone pm This birth control pills are safe for use in reducing the risk of hair loss in some birth control pills can actually help to treat hair loss in women.

Even after menopause, women may develop a hormonal imbalance. Can a mere drop in estrogen level, which makes them more resistant to women since the beginning of the pattern baldness.

Some women also develop polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that makes them more susceptible to hair loss pattern.


The most universal cause of male baldness in Genetics. Genetics makes the individual prior to androgenetic hair loss pattern baldness, or by determining the density and location of androgen sensitive hair follicles. In addition to hereditary factors, hormonal or genetic problems, especially androgens, play an important role in pattern baldness.
