			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all, alopecia areata is a condition which induces hair loss from some or all parts of the body, but more usually it infects the scalp first. It affects about 0.1% to 0.2% of people in the world and is thought to be a hereditary disease. Hair loss can occur in only one round spot in the scalp (alopecia areata monolocularis), diffusedly over the entire scalp (diffused alopecia areata), multiple areas of the scalp (alopecia areata multilocularis), the entire scalp (alopecia areata totalis), or the entire body (alopecia areata universalis).</p>
<p>When symptoms start to appear, most women try to cover the loss of hair by wearing caps or hats, while those who have only mild alopecia grow their hair long and styles it in a way that the bald spot is covered. Those who only have monolocularis, multilocularis, or diffused alopecia think of getting a perm (permanent wave) so the curly, permed hair will cover their bald spots.</p>
<p>But before you go on and get that perm, it is advisable that you get the opinion of your doctor, and not just your stylist’s. Though your stylist’s experience in perming is of importance, your doctor’s advice is even more important as you may not be aware of other conditions or complications which may occur because of the interaction of the chemicals used in perming and the medication/s you may be taking to treat the condition. </p>
<p>Treatment given for alopecia include clobetasol or fluocinonide, cream, steroid injections, minoxidil, anthralin or topical coal tar, oral costicosteroids, and topical immunotherapy cyclosporine. Any of these medications may interact with the curing agents used in perming which may cause burns, further hair loss, and even immuno-allergic reactions.</p>
<p>As a general rule, here are some contraindications for perming:</p>
<p>1.	damaged hair<br />
2.	abnormal scalp conditions, including broken or weeping areas of skin<br />
3.	previous chemical services<br />
4.	resistant hair<br />
5.	highly porous hair</p>
<p>As you can see, 2 and 3 are highly probable causes for those with alopecia (and are taking treatments) to NOT get a perm. Your stylist will usually ask you some questions (or ask you to fill out a questionnaire) before giving you a perm, and will often themselves recommend that you postpone the perm until your alopecia has been treated or your medications have been completed.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term alopecia areata refers to a condition wherein a person suffers hair loss from the body and scalp. The cause of the disease can be brought on by many conditions. These causes include experiencing illnesses, taking certain drugs and undergoing some types of medical procedures. The loss of hair can also be brought about when a person is undergoing a severe emotional trauma or after a medical surgery. Some people freak out upon a discovery of a balding spot on their head. They often go to the nearest drug store to purchase hair loss solutions, without first understanding what the disease really is. Over the counter solutions for hair loss may be effective but a successful treatment may require the assessment of how the condition started. Even with a meticulous treatment, the hair loss will continue if the cause is not removed. Taking of certain drugs for example can lead to hair loss. Though you may hair loss solution everyday, you may continue to lose hair unless you stop taking the medication.</p>
<p>The disease is very treatable provided that you know the exact cause. Removal of the causative agent will usually stop further hair loss even without treatment. However, for some people who are very meticulous about their appearance, waiting for the removal of such causative factors will not do. They want the condition to be treated immediately and return their appearance to its normal looks. If you are undergoing too much stress, the way to prevent yourself from losing more hair is to relax, to change your mental state to a more calm and happy disposition. There is also a dermatological method of injecting steroids directly on the scalp to promote hair growth. The support of your family and close friends is also essential to provide much needed moral support and prevent further emotional depression.</p>
<p>Alopecia areata is treatable and having one does not mean the end of the world. Talking to a doctor will help much in improving your disposition. Therefore, if you have one, do not just despair. Have a consultation and go on with your normal life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hair loss is common to people when they age. It is one of the early signs of aging. However, if one is suffering hair loss when at a young age, then it is alarming and might pose as a health problem. Most of hair loss problem occurs in men although there are reported cases of severe hair loss in women. </p>
<p>Hair loss is believed to have been due to hereditary genes from your ancestors who have traces of hair loss or other external factors not hereditary. Excessive use of chemicals in your hair is one of those factors. There are two common types of hair loss one is Alopecia Areata and the other is Androgenetic Alopecia. Between these two, Alopecia Areata is universally considered as major type of hair loss. It is believed that there are at least two percent of men and women in United States who suffer this malady. It usually affects children and young adult.</p>
<p>Alopecia Areata has various degree of severity. Its mild form is characterized by small round patches in the hair which often regrows even though there is no treatment made. The most severe case is total hair loss or the chronic hair loss. Alopecia Areata treatment varies according to its degree of severity. That with mild hair loss is treated faster than those in severe cases of hair loss. Age is also a factor in treating Alopecia Areata as well as the extent of the hair loss. The usual treatment includes application of therapies such as glucocorticoids, anthralin, topical immunotherapy and biological-response modifiers. These are treatment that requires prescription from doctors.</p>
<p>Having a hair loss is an uncomfortable situation. If you can avoid it by not using excessive strong hair chemicals then avoid it. Hair loss treatment is not an ordinary treatment because of it takes time to see improvement. As much as possible take care of your hair like taking care of your loved ones. Knowing the possible treatments for hair loss would definitely be very helpful for people who are known to have alopecia on their genes to avoid losing their self-confidence. With these alternative treatments, you never would have to worry about experiencing early symptoms of hair loss.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hair loss is commonly caused by alopecia areata, which is a medical condition that is characterized by falling of hair found on the body and on the scalp. Certain drugs and medications can cause alopecia. These medications are often used to treat other conditions, and the hair loss is just one of the common side effects. Hair loss caused by drugs often disappears once the treatment is over. </p>
<p>Hair loss situations that are considered natural by people are those that are being passed on an individual through heredity. This is not seen on people while at their young age but becomes more apparent as the person gets older. This is the reason why balding or receding hairlines are seen predominantly on male population over the age of thirty. As proven by several medical researches on the causes of hair loss, genetics play a major role in the occurrence of alopecia in an individual. If you have a parent who is balding or is observed to have receding hairline, chances are you are going to have the same. So will your future brood. This genetic programming of your physical attributes cannot be avoided. The common recourse that most people with this hereditary problem do is to apply topical solutions for hair loss which promises to at least delay the process. </p>
<p>Another delaying method that is used against hair loss is through the diet. At present, there are various health foods on the market that promises great health benefits, including the slowing down of the aging process. If you age slowly, then your hair will stay longer on your scalp. </p>
<p>Any unusual hair loss should always be treated with concern and should be brought to a doctor’s attention for diagnosis. If there is no apparent reason for it, hair loss could signal the onset of a serious disease. Take a closer look at a medication that you maybe taking too. There are people who do not care to inquire on the possible side effects of a drug prescribed to them and so are alarmed when their hair begins to fall off. Also take the time to relax yourself. A lot of stress causes the hair to thin out, and so contribute to premature baldness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hysterectomy is a process of surgically removing the uterus of a woman by a gynecologist. Most women who undergo this surgical process experience side effects. Hair loss is believed to be one of the consequences of hysterectomy. People who have experienced ovarian cancer are often subjected into the surgical process in order to avoid further complications. If a person have undergone chemotherapy, it is more likely that she will experience hair loss as a result of the cancer treatment.</p>
<p>Although hair loss is very common on both men and women when they age, it is quite unexpected if you suffer this at your early age. This is the reason why many inquiries and questions arise if hair loss is indeed a result when a woman undergoes the procedure of hysterectomy.</p>
<p>The explanation of the doctors and gynecologists about hair loss after hysterectomy is that the stress which the woman is suffering is the major factor for the loss of hair. As everybody knows, too much stress and shock can influence the persons’ health. Women who are healing after the surgery may suffer this type of stress and shock. In fact, most surgeries may result to stress and shock due to the trauma that the body experiences. The stress contributes a lot in the loss of hair. The scientific name for this is telogen effluvium.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is the compromised immune system of the woman who goes through the process of hysterectomy. Hair loss is a known result of weak immune system. It is considered as a type of an autoimmune disease. Just like those women who undergo pregnancy, with HIV disease, leukemia and other diseases with compromised immune system, they are likely to have hair loss. There is a high risk of hair loss therefore for women after they are surgically operated like hysterectomy.</p>
<p>Hair loss as a result of hysterectomy procedure may be treated the same as those hair losses as a result of hereditary genes and cytokines. The use of anti- hair thinning shampoos and application of therapies such as glucocorticoids, anthralin, topical immunotherapy and biological-response modifiers are some of the usual treatment of hair loss.</p>
