5 Medical Conditions That Cause Female Hair Loss.

01.11.2007 in FEMALE HAIR LOSS

In cases where sudden hair loss and diffuse thinning happens the underlying causes need to be identified and treated. If left untreated then the hair loss tends to continue. The earlier a condition is identified the better the chances are for a recovery and a satisfactory cosmetic appearance.

Here are the main causes of sudden onset of hair loss that continue until the causes are treated:

1. Anaemia.

2. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a fairly common condition, affecting between 3% and 5% of women.

3. Malfunction of the Thyroid Gland.

4. Diabetes.

5. Systemic Lupus Erythematosis.

Here is a helpful NHS link for the above conditions:

Is It True That Saw Palmetto (Biostim) Is Better for Treating Hair Loss Better Than Finasteride?

01.11.2007 in Uncategorized

Answer: Saw palmetto is a small palm tree native to the eastern part of the United States. The berries contain a biologically active component similar in action to finasteride. The fat-soluble part of these berries has been shown to inhibit the conversion of testosterone into the active form, much like finasteride. Although there are several double-blind studies comparing saw palmetto to finasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate), there are no studies looking at its use in hair loss.

We recommend the use of Biostim, in all cases for best results. For further information click on to:

What Is The Cause Of Sudden Hair Loss?

31.10.2007 in Uncategorized

Answer: Stressors to your system, such as illness, high fever, pregnancy, extreme weight loss or gain, and drug use, can cause temporary hair loss. This occurs when the ratio of growing to resting hairs is upset and more of the growing hair shifts into a resting phase. A greater quantity of normally sleeping hairs falls out, prompting a visit to the dermatologist. This type of hair loss is temporary and full regrowth should be expected.

We recommend the use of Vitastim and if necessary Biostim as well, in all cases for best results.
