phil poland | Posted at 12:59am on Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 |
HI i have been a student in poland for 3 years and the water here is made of calcium and i kno it contains hard minerals. The water was was the reason i thought i was losing hair, but in turn wasn't the reason. I felt it was genetic and stress related due to the fact i am in medical school. I have been thinning my hair for about 2 years now since i was 19. I am 21 now. All its doing right now is thinning. Everytime the hair comes out i feel a certain itch and so i itch my scalp n' a piece or 2 of my hairs comes along with it. I feel the itch is due to the fact that the hair follicle is about to come out. I want to know what i can do and the precautions i can take. This really is lowering my confidence and self-esteem and i am just praying i can get through this. I come from a family that has great and not so great hair. My dad's father lost his hair in the late 20's and i am scared i am one of the candiates to possibly have the same issue. I don't know if propecia is good for me either because of the certain side effects concerning sexual problems. Could sexual acts in a male increase DHT from the conversion of testosterone into DHT by an enzyme, alpha 5 reductase? Please give me an answer that i can take and use. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. | |
