Those who have it, love it. Those who don’t, miss it. And those who are in the process of losing it, well, they’ll do anything to keep it. We’re talking of course about hair. The easiest thing might be to blame your parents for that thinning crown you own, or the balding scalp. Yet not all causes of hair loss trace back to your gene pool. So for the sake of not being cut out of the will, cut your parents some slack.

You’ll actually be surprised to learn that there are dozens of reasons for it. And, while some are a little less common than others, it’s still important to understand how one loses their hair and how it’s linked to their overall health.

How Hair Loss Affects Your Health?

About half of men live with male pattern baldness. Just so happens it can occur at an early age or later stages. Appearance is everything and the market offers some great products for thinning hair. Masking your look will certainly do you justice when hitting the town on a date. But have you stopped to think about what is truly happening to your body? Is hair loss in anyway connected to some of the recent physical scares you’ve encountered (or might)?

We advise taking a peek below because your body could be at risk or suffering from these potential health scares.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia: Men losing their hair might experience symptoms of an enlarged prostate, and though some drugs can aid in scaling it down, they can also produce adverse effects including ejaculatory dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, and loss of libido.
• Dihydrotestosterone: Better known as DHT, it’s formed through a small portion of testosterone and converted into this stronger androgen that can result in an enlarged prostate, plus lead to back hair growth.
• Heart disease: Studies involving over 40,000 men suffering from baldness showed up to 70% had an increased risk of obtaining a cardiovascular ailment.
• Prostate cancer: Other studies show a link between the two, as some doctors are using data from these trials to determine early baldness as a clinical indicator of risk for the disease.

They say prevention is better than the cure. So by all means we advise looking over these tips to prevent hair loss as a means of emotional alleviation. But in the meantime, it’s all about getting down to the root(s) of the problem.

To get the full rundown, we’ve spoken with Dr. Alan J. Bauman, board-certified hair restoration physician, member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, and recommended by the American Hair Loss Association, who offers his expert insight on the subject, along with clinical and over-the-counter solutions.
