Alopecia areata is not a life-threatening disease. It does not cause any physical pain, and people with the condition are generally healthy otherwise. But for most people, a disease that unpredictably affects their appearance the way alopecia areata does is a serious matter. The effects of alopecia areata are primarily socially and emotionally disturbing.

Bedwetting is a type of medical condition called a syndrome, where diagnosis comes from the presence of multiple factors known to be related to the problem. A diagnosis of Primary Nocturnal Enuresis syndrome means the wetting is present past the age of 5 with failure of sleep arousal, a small functional bladder capacity and an absence of birth defects. It is commonly accompanied by constipation and food sensitivities. Sometimes ADHD is also seen in this syndrome.

In any given day one can expect about 50-100 hairs to fall out which are normally replaced on a regular basis.

It is caused by genetics attributed to the mother or father; and hormones, specifically testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Some women have genetically determined hair loss, while others may experience hair loss from surgery or injury.

Some women have genetically determined hair loss or hair loss from a series of medical conditions or genetic inheritance. Others may experience hair loss from surgery, or injury.

Yes, according to the goals and extent of hair loss, the age and sex of the patient, several treatment options are now available for the thinning hair patient.

It has been suggested that high DHT levels in genetically predisposed hair follicles initiate baldness. It is this chemical conversion from testosterone to dihydrotestosterone that is blocked by hair restoration products, such as finasteride, which is a prescription medicine and the active ingredient in Propecia, another prescription medication to treat hair loss.

There are several products on the market today that promise regrowth of hair. Unfortunately, most of them are ineffective, costly, and certainly not permanent.

Genetics is but one factor that contributes to hair loss. Luckily, if your mother or grandmother had thinning hair you are not necessarily destined to follow in their path. Many factors contribute to the acceleration and permanence of hair loss (like insufficient scalp circulation, chemically-clogged hair follicles, and nutrient-deficient shafts) besides those associated to family traits.
