Hair Restoration Answers Is Asymmetrical Hair Loss from Telogen Effluvium or Androgenetic Alopecia?

Q: Over the past three months, my hair seems to be thinning more on one side. Is it common in male pattern hair loss for it to be more on one side? I had a lot of stress about three months ago and have heard that this could be the cause. Is this possible? Should I use Rogaine to treat it? -- B.R., Landover, MD A: Regardless of the cause, hair loss is usually not perfectly symmetric. This applies to male pattern hair loss as well. In your case, it is important to distinguish between telogen effluvium (shedding that can be due to stress) and hereditary or common baldness.

The hair loss diagnosis can…

Excerpt from the interview: Julie Chen: Dr. Bernstein, I want to go through all the options that are available for women, but what is the difference between female and male hair loss option-wise. What can we do to treat it? Dr. Bernstein: The main difference medically is that women have hair loss often from hormonal changes and it's due to an imbalance between progesterones and estrogens. That equilibrium can be reestablished with medication. Often birth control pills can do that.

Hair Restoration Research Prostaglandin Discovery May Lead To Hair Loss Treatment For Men And Women

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, who were investigating the biological causes of androgenetic alopecia or common genetic hair loss, have discovered that levels of a certain inhibitor protein, called Prostaglandin D2 (PD2), are elevated in bald areas on the scalp. This discovery could be an important breakthrough in developing a medical hair loss treatment that regulates the production of the protein, or one that blocks it from attaching to its receptor protein.
