Temporary Hair Loss – Causes, Treatments and Medications

Hair loss in men and women is very common and there is no one certain cause for it. Male-pattern hair loss usually begins with scalp hair thinning, usually beginning at the top or side of the head. Hair loss can continue to develop to complete or partial baldness. Hair loss can occur in a number of ways, depending on who is experiencing it. The causes for female-pattern hair loss and male-pattern hair loss are very different, though both are treatable in most cases.

Other medications, such as those for high blood pressure, depression, high cholesterol, high blood sugar and gout, are also available over-the-counter and can be effective for treating temporary hair loss. If you have any heart problems or high blood pressure, you should consult with your doctor before starting any type of medication, especially antidepressants or prescription medications. Some medications may interact with your medications to increase the side effects or decrease the effectiveness of other medicines which is why you should always consult your doctor before taking medications.

A non-medical way to help treat the appearance of hair loss is through Scalp Micropigmentation that is offered by professionals such as His Hair Clinic. This can help to improve the look of the areas of the scalp where the hair is thinning or from places where hair loss has occurred.
