Dihydrotestosterone, The Cause Of Hair Loss

December 25th, 2008 by admin

Research some years ago had good news for balding men as it showed that the real difference between balding men and men with a normal head of hair was that the balding men had high levels of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone in their scalps especially where the hair loss occurred and the other did not. This was the breakthrough that meant that the actual cause of male pattern balding was known and it made it possible for more research to find a cure and remedy for the problem.

Eventually drugs were formulated after millions of dollars of research that prevented the build up of the dihydrotestosterone and men started to gain some form of hope that they would not lose all of their hair after all. The first drug was minoxidil that comes in the form of a liquid that men can apply directly to their scalps and later another drug called finasteride was developed that is taken orally and again prevents the build up of DHT in the scalp.

There is no doubt that men worry a lot about their hair loss and with the condition affecting around 50% of all men around the world there is a huge market for remedies. The most successful clinical drug to date for the restoration of hair caused by male pattern baldness is with a doubt Propecia with over 80% of men reporting positive effects when taking it. Minoxidil has good results too and when the drugs are taken together the best results are seen.

Merck who manufacture the hair loss drug Propecia have made millions from the drug and they should continue to do so. Propecia requires a prescription as there are some side effects that need to be explained and in some cases it will not work. Women are expressly forbidden to take Propecia as it can damage the development of an unborn child.

Male Pattern Hair Loss And Propecia

December 19th, 2008 by admin

Male pattern baldness is not a disease or an illness and when it starts it is not a sign of age or of bad health but just purely a genetic process that happen to some men. Some men who live unhealthy and reckless lives never lose their hair and other men who are as fit as a fiddle and eat healthily and look after their bodies and scalp are completely bald. Whether you suffer from male pattern baldness is just a lottery and a few lucky men go through all their lives with a full head of hair.

The problem with male pattern baldness and why it affects men negatively is that it has an effect on their confidence and well-being that can depress them. While this again can’t really be classified as an illness it still something that can merit treatment and that is why the hair loss treatments that are available today are selling well.

Hair restoration is a huge business worldwide and especially on the Internet as many men are embarrassed about their hair loss and would far rather get help, advice and treatment from behind a computer screen than from a face to face consultation and Ukmedix understands and accepts this.

The problem is that there are many criminals who are willing to prey on the insecurities of balding men and promise them instant hair regrowth and make outlandish claims about their often illegal and untested products in the hope of convincing these gullible men to give them their credit card details. Any product that is sold online that is not made by a reputable drug company or one that makes claims telling you that you will definitely re grow your hair is almost certainly a waste of time.

Steroids And Propecia

December 5th, 2008 by admin

A word of warning to men who use steroids! We are aware that many men use steroids for getting well as they can boost the human body’s ability to repair itself but many men use steroids when they go to the gym so that they can build muscle mass quicker. This makes sense except for the long list of side effects that steroids can cause that do not justify the use unless for medical reasons.

The relevant bit of information that we would like to share with you regarding hair loss is that the use of steroids can in fact speed up the natural and genetic process of hair loss for some men. How does this happen you may ask yourself? Well it appears that these anabolic steroids can increase the rate at which testosterone is converted to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is the all-important factor in male pattern hair loss. The DHT that builds up in the scalp of a man kills the hair follicles at the root and eventually causes baldness.

Research has shown that men use steroids more than women and they often use them for bodybuilding and other sports to get a competitive advantage over other men. Many men who use these steroids and are thus worried about their hair loss as a result have started to use the drug Propecia that contains finasteride to counteract the effects of the steroids.

If you are using anabolic steroids and you wish to use Propecia it is important that you inform the doctor that you are doing so when he issues your prescription. Propecia is known to be the most tested and most effective hair loss medication in the world but it nevertheless requires a doctor’s prescription before use.

Propecia Sporting Ban Discussed

November 28th, 2008 by admin

Propecia is in the news after it has been targeted by a sports people and officials all of whom who say that the anti-doping rules and regulations of international sport are too draconian and often pick up innocent victims.

Propecia that is made from the drug finasteride is a banned drug and this is not because of any performance enhancing effects that it gives off but merely because it is said to disguise other performance enhancing drugs when it is used in conjunction with them.

It is likely than some athletes who use Propecia for male pattern hair loss and really do not take any performance enhancing medicine have been caught out and have been banned from their respective sports.

One famous example is the skeleton racer Zach Lund who was banned from his sport after being found with finasteride in his blood sample, a drug that he had in fact been taking for a number of years and from before the ban was announced. It is clear that the rules need to be strict and they need to be clear with regard to doping tests but the fact that Propecia is banned is affecting a lot of innocent sportsmen who after all were only trying to keep their hair on their heads.

Propecia is estimated to be used by 4 million men worldwide and is effective for male pattern baldness and can therefore help men in their 20’s who start to develop thin patches of hair on their heads. Ukmedix is a great supporter of the drug because it is simply the most tested and researched anti-baldness remedy in the world and is the most statistically effective one too.

If you are suffering from male pattern baldness (or you think you are) you can have an online consultation with an Ukmedix doctor who will determine if Propecia is correct for you or not.

Propecia May Get OK From WADA

November 16th, 2008 by admin

It seems that whenever Propecia is in the news it is not in connection with the fact that it is the most clinically tested and proven drug for hair loss in the world but because it has resulted in a number of sportsmen failing anti-doping tests.

Propecia that is made from a compound called finasteride does not have any performance enhancing capabilities but it can apparently disguise the use of other performance enhancing drugs. This had led to a host of sportsmen being banned from the sports that they play in when in fact it is very unlikely that they used any other banned drugs at all.This policy of banning Propecia has been criticised as some people used the drug before they were aware of the fact that it was banned and also as it poses a dilemma for sportsmen who want to retain their hair.
The World Anti-Doping Agency has recently announced that it will from now on consider that the use of Propecia is not automatically a reason for suspension from all sports band that it will consider accidental and trivial drug use when handing out sentences.

At the same time be warned that this does not mean that sportsmen can get away with using the hair loss drug Propecia but only that the WADA might consider some leniency if it is used. It is probably still advisable for professional sportsmen to stop using the Propecia drug or at least to inform WADA that they are using it and take some proper advice.

This new ruling will be of interest to the American skier Zach Lund who was banned from competing in his sport for a year and also who lost all his commercial sponsorships. It is estimated that about 4 million men use Propecia to stop hair loss caused by hereditary Male Pattern Balding.

Propecia Can Affect PSA Readings

November 8th, 2008 by admin

The best selling Propecia hair restoration drug made by the pharmaceutical company Merck is now being used by over four million men around the world. It is very popular not only because it is effective in about 90% of men with male pattern balding but also because it is very simple to use. It functions by reducing the build up of DHT in a man’s scalp that is responsible for killing the hair follicles.

Some recent research done on the use of Propecia’s active ingredient finasteride has shown however that the drug can cover up an important indicator that is used in testing for prostate cancer. The Propecia will lower the incidence of a protein that is called prostate specific antigen (PSA) that is used as the first indication of whether you have cancer of the prostate or not. Men who have high PSA readings in their blood stream are often suffering from prostate cancer and will therefore be required to do more tests to check if that is in fact the case.Men using the Propecia will therefore sometimes slip through the PSA testing with artificially low PSA readings that do not give a clear reading and picture of their prostate health.

From the research that was done by Dr A. D’Amico from the Brigham & Women’s Hospital it was recommended that men who are using Propecia and get testing for PSA levels must double their PSA readings so as to be certain that they are not touching the danger zone for prostate cancer. This research should be taken seriously by anyone using Propecia and if they go for a PSA screening they should inform their doctor that they are taking the Propecia drug so that the results can be adjusted accordingly. Cancer of the prostate is a very serious cancer but it can be cured if it is found early in and treated properly. Another drug called Proscar is also made by Merck that contains 5 times the amount of finasteride that a tablet of Propecia has, and it is used by men to reduce an enlarged prostate and to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Propecia is a prescription drug that is only for use in men with male pattern balding and not for other types of hair loss. Propecia is not allowed to be used by women and will not have any visible effect on female hair loss anyway. The makers of Propecia and Proscar financed this important study and the results were announced in the Lancet Oncology journal.

Why Men Avoid Propecia

October 28th, 2008 by admin

Probably the single largest reason why men do not take the hair loss drug Propecia is it that they are concerned about the sexual side effects of using the drug.  For the vast majority of men having a good sexual function is far more important than having a full head of hair and thus when they read the small print that accompanies Propecia many of them get a little bit scared.

At Ukmedix News we want to remind you that this sexual side effect occurs in less than one percent of men and in every single case ever reported the reduction of erectile function went away immediately when the man stopped taking the drug. So look at it like this; if by an extremely remote chance you felt that your erectile function was not up to its usual standard when using the Propecia medication all you have to do is stop taking it and you are back to where you were before.

We have also noticed that manufacturers of products selling other hair loss treatments are keen to highlight this sexual side effect of Propecia in order so that they can increase the liklihood of themselves making a sale. It is worth remembering that the Propecia drug is the most effective drug treatment in the world by far to stop the process of genetic male pattern baldness and that with the exception of minoxidil there is no other properly tested and clinically proven way of reducing and preventing this type of baldness.

The other reason why men choose not to use Propecia is that they have read the accompanying literature with the drug which tells them they must not take it if they are trying to have children. It is felt by many doctors and scientists that Merck have merely decided to be overly cautious and that it is impossible for a foetus to be harmed by a man taking Propecia. It is worth knowing that 4 million men are using Propecia and the drug has been on sale for eight years now and that not one case of abnormality of a foetus has been reported to date. You should speak to your doctor about this. It is extremely dangerous for women of a child bearing age to take the Propecia drug.

Propecia Advice And Comments

October 17th, 2008 by admin

Men who suffer from Male Pattern Baldness say that the feeling of dread when you first see the signs of hair loss are terrible and in fact it can take some time before you can come to terms with it and get round to doing something about it. Many men live in denial fo sometime and others immediately resign themselves to becoming completely bald over the years. Ukmedix feels that best thing to do if you are suffering from hair loss is firstly to check for sure that your hair loss is caused by heriditary Male Pattern Balding and not by other things such as certain medicines or stress and anxiety.

If you are living a stressless life and you are not using any medicines that have hair loss as a side effect then the likelyhood is that you are suffering from a hair loss condition that effects millions of men worldwide and so take heart from the knowledge that you are not alone and also from the fact that recent medical advances have made it quite likely that you will be able to stop your hair loss and have some peace of mind.

The most effect hair loss drug available today on the market is without a doubt Propecia. Propecia is administered in the form of a very small light brown tablet that needs to be taken just once a day. Propecia works by blocking the Dihydrotestosterone or DHT (a testosterone related hormone) that forms in the scalp and is responsible for weakening and then eventually killing the hair follicles on the scalp. All male pattern baldness is caused by Dihydrotestosterone in the scalp and Propecia works by preventing the formation of the DHT in the scalp and thus preventing it from attacking the hair follicles. It is perectly normal for a man to have DHT in his scalp and some men joke that it shows that they have higher levels of the male hormone testosterone when compared to there full haired friends, but there is no evidence to show this.

Propecia has a few minor side effects which will disappear immediately if you stop using it and it has been seen to be effective with most men who use it. It won’t immediately grow back your hair but it will over the long term it will cause your hair loss to stop and may make your hair grow back slightly. If you are already bald taking Propecia will not grow you hair back.

Ukmedix believes that Propecia provides the best hair loss remedy on the market today for Male Pattern Baldness.
