Hair Loss in Malaysia: Causes & Treatments

 

Hair is the most noticeable part of our body that grows and falls, which also makes it one of the most important parts to take care of. Hair loss in Malaysia is common due to stress, genetic factors, age-related hair loss, lifestyle habits like diet and stress, etc. There are many causes for hair loss in Malaysia you might not be aware of.

 

Factors for Hair Loss

There are so many factors that can cause hair loss, including the following: stress, pregnancy, hormonal issues, alopecia, genetics, radiation therapy or chemotherapy for cancer treatment. There are also several treatments out there to combat hair loss like Rogaine (minoxidil).

 

Types of Hair Loss

The most common cause for hair loss in Malaysia is male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness results when the testosterone in the scalp shrinks the follicles that produce hair. Eventually, these follicles are destroyed and replaced with scar tissue. The other type of hair loss is called telogen effluvium which is caused by a sudden event like surgery or an illness like cancer or thyroid disease.

 

Hair Loss Causes in Males

Male pattern balding is the most common cause of hair loss in men. It occurs when testosterone levels drop and the body stops producing enough of a hormone called DHT.

 

Hair Loss Causes in Females

Hair loss is a common occurrence and there are many different causes. The most common cause for females is Female Pattern Baldness (FPB). Other causes of hair loss in women include hormonal changes such as pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause as well as other conditions such as thyroid problems or iron deficiency.

 

Hair Loss Treatment in Malaysia

Hair loss treatments include medication and natural remedies. Some of the drugs used for hair loss treatment include minoxidil and finasteride. Minoxidil is a topical treatment that only works on people who still have some hair left. It stimulates more hair growth and slows down the process of balding. Finasteride is an oral medicine that can stop hair loss in men with male pattern baldness. Natural remedies such as l-tyrosine, plantain leaves, and pumpkin seeds can also help promote hair growth

 

Conclusions

The two most common causes of hair loss are male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness has a receding hairline, thinning on the crown, and possibly a bit of widening at the temples. Female pattern baldness is milder than male-pattern balding, with only thinning throughout the scalp. Other factors that can lead to hair loss are too much shampooing, not enough sleep or rest, head trauma, certain medications (including chemotherapy), vitamin deficiencies, anemia, chronic diseases that affect your whole body (such as lupus or thyroid disease).
