Fall of hair: men, women, differences

Fall of hair: men, women, differences
To lose its hair, it is seen like the prerogative of the men. However, the women also see the volume of their hair decreasing with the age! Do men and women lose their hair in the same way? Let us make the turn of the differences and resemblances…

The alopécie, a fall not like the others

There exist momentary falls of hair; the autumn in particular is one season considered to make fall only the sheets. But when the fall lasts more than three months, for the men and the women it is necessary to think of the androgenogenetic alopécie. At the people reached, the life expectancy of the hair disappears, and to each time it falls the hair pushes back finer, less coloured, until not being but one fine invisible sleeping bag more. The mechanism is well-known at the men, but the women of it are a little less conscious…

Men, women, the same mechanism

However, the fall is determined by the same mechanism. It is the testosterone which is in question – from where the myth of the virility of the men bald people – but those and those which lose their hair do not have an abnormal rate of them. Simply, the cells of their scalp are more sensitive there. If the mechanism is the same one, the demonstrations are however different. Whereas at the men, the tonsure and the temples are quickly dismantled, for the woman the fall is more diffuse. In addition, the hairstyles of the women and the fact that they often have the longer hair make in general the fall more discrete. It is easy to be unaware of the hair which one finds at the bottom of the bath-tub, or the rubber bands which become suddenly too large. The fact that the women also lose their hair with the age, and especially after the menopause, thus remains still often ignored.

Different assumptions of responsibility

The treatment “the masculine” of the alopécie rests primarily on the finastéride, a drug which acts on the prostate. Unfortunately, this relatively effective product has devastators effects on the male fetuses, and in particular fetuses, if it is absorbed or even handled by an expectant mother. He is even advised with the men treated by finastéride to use a protection at the time of their sexual relationships with a woman likely to be pregnant or to become it. The regulation of finastéride to the women in age to procreate is thus difficult to justify, and its effectiveness was studied very little. What thus remains with the women confronted with the androgenogenetic alopécie? Certain local drugs (lotion to be applied to the hair), but they are less effective. On the other hand, the Clerc’s Office of hair is much more convincing among women than at the men, because more discrete and camouflaged by existing hair…
