How does the hair on your head grow?On average your hair grows about 1 centimetre (half an inch) each month. Hair growsfrom hair follicles, which are located under your skin.
A single scalp hair grows continuously for 2-4 years (growth phase) and then stopsgrowing for 2-4 months (rest phase). After this the hair falls out. In its place a newhealthy hair begins to grow, and the cycle is repeated. The hairs on your scalp arealways in different stages of this cycle so it is normal to lose scalp hair every day.
What is male pattern hair loss?
Male pattern hair loss is a common condition in which men experience thinning of thehair on the scalp, often resulting in a receding hairline and/or balding on the top of thehead. This condition is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and aparticular hormone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
DHT causes a decrease in the growth phase and thinning of the hair (see picture). Thisleads to male pattern hair loss. These changes can start to occur in some men in their20s and become more common with age. Once hair loss has occurred over a longperiod of time, the hair may be permanently lost.

PronouncedpropeciaFinasteride (generic for Finasteride 1mg)Finasteride is an 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels. It works by blocking the body’s production of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which may lead to prostate growth and possibly liver damage. This medication is not suitable for everyone and is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone that can cause changes in blood sugar levels, including changes in thyroid function. While it is effective in preventing type 2 diabetes, it may not be suitable for everyone. There are some medications that may cause changes in blood sugar levels such as metformin, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g. glyburide), sulfonylureas, and antibiotics. These medications may also cause changes in the amount of thyroid hormone, which may affect its effectiveness. If you are planning to become pregnant, contact Healthylife Physician with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this medication.
