Question 2

how to stop the signs of male pattern baldness, can you help me?

Accepted Answer

Options: If this is indeed male pattern baldness, your options are medications (any physician can provide these), specialist surgery, and/or embracing your masculinity and your genetics. 95% of good looks for a man is physical fitness. Photo guy seems happy with himself -- perhaps this is your opportunity to get back into the fitness lifestyle you enjoyed as a teen.

Question 3

use to take ranitidine had hair loss,no patchy baldness. hair came back but still sheds good bit dont know when nails got ridges an pits but only few nails noticed lastnight. is that sign i have alopecia still? or once have ridges they dont go away?

Accepted Answer

: I am not aware of nail ridges being a good way to tell if your hair loss is getting better or worse. Discuss with your Drs or send us pictures.

Question 4

is there a product that cures male pattern baldness?

Accepted Answer

Make pattern Bakdnes: I always recommend choosing different parents.  ;-)

The only success I have had with patients with this is to have my patients get a “rug”. AKA toupee.

Question 5

is there a treatment for hederitary pattern baldness?

Accepted Answer

I would...: Recommend getting rogaine (minoxidil) if you would like to stimulate hair growth.

Question 6

is a low hairline indicative of baldness later in life?

Accepted Answer

No: Low hairline is supposedly hair 2.5 inches or less from the eyebrows; it probably means nothing. In a man, the extent of chest / back hair development in the 20s correlates quite well with how fast he gets male pattern baldness. Many women like it, especially now that so many very masculine guys, especially fighters, shave their heads.

Question 7

what should i look for in a product to restore hair after baldness?

Accepted Answer

Snake oil: Watch out for this one. There are no good products out there to restore hair. On the horizon are some exciting treatments. The right laser has promise but isn't proven yet. Give it a little more time. Stem cells from the fat injected into the scalp look like it hold promise. But watch out for snake oil claims.

Question 8

how do i  get nuvigil cheaper, my ins. covers most but still leaves a $330 bal. and generic modafinil is more? or ideas on a comparable drug?

Accepted Answer

Nuvigil options: Consider using a discount card from the company making nuvigil.  Also, you could consider alternatives such as Ritalin or methylphenidate.

Question 9

my hair is starting to fall out about 20 hairs at a time. i'm 33 yr old white male no history of baldness in family. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Hair loss: Hair loss may result from multiple factors such as genetics, nutrition, hormones, vitamin &amp; mineral deficiecncy, autoimmune disorders, enviormental factors, hair breakage, Telogen Effluvium amongst others. You should visit a Dermatologist who specializes in hair loss for further evaluation.

Question 10

at the early age of 20, i have become bald in mpb pattern. thedoctor said my excessive ejaculation like 20 times a week for two years caused premature baldness! can it happen?

Accepted Answer

Male Pattern Baldnes: Nope. Your sexual activity had nothing to do with your genes and how they have laid out all of your body's norms. 

Sex does not change your genes.
