			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most common causes of such widespread <strong>hair loss</strong> in women are mineral deficiencies, anemia and imbalances <strong>hormone</strong>. We turn first <strong>hormonal imbalances</strong>. Hormones are fluid secretions of the glands endocrine influence our actions and feelings. The glands are small bodies located as shown in the diagram. <strong>Sex glands</strong>, the <strong>thyroid</strong>, <strong>parathyroid glands</strong>, etc. There are all endocrine glands. They produce hormones in the circulation blood circulating through the body and play an important role in the regulation of how we function.</p>
<p>A surplus or a lack of a specific hormone will imbalance in the body. Often, samples and symptoms of hormonal imbalance are obvious, e.g. fatigue, excessive facial hair, hair changes or weight. However, a slight imbalance can reflect only in the hair &#8211; its growth, texture, loss and, if detected early, can save many problems forward. Each gland now is discussed along with their effects.</p>
<p><strong>Pituitary Gland</strong></p>
<p>The pituitary gland has a controlling influence something the other endocrine glands, thyroid, sex glands and adrenal cortex.  The pituitary gland itself is controlled by the hypothalamus, which is the basis in the brain and is part of it. The brain, therefore, has great influence in the functioning of the endocrine glands.  Diffuse hair loss can lead to imbalances pituitary hormone directly or through its effects on the other endocrine glands.</p>
<p>The <strong>gland of thyroid</strong> is situated in the neck and its main hormones are the tiroxina (T4) and the triyodotironina  (T3).  Both hormones contain iodine and they are produced amino acid &#8216;tyrosine&#8217;.  They influence the way in which the body utilizes food that eat.  Alternatively it can influence the way that feel &#8211; animated or sad.  Low activity of the gland thyroid &#8211; hypothyroidism &#8211; can conduct to the diffuse hair loss in hairy leather, hair and fragile nails, a dry skin, lethargy, slowness of the speech, and an increase in weight.  At times, the hypothyroidism associates to toxemia and excessive increase of the weight during embarrassment, palpitations of heart, problems of the kidney, sensibility to the cold, and a high level of the blood cholesterol.</p>
<p>The external part of the eyebrows can be lost.  An overproduction of the thyroid hormones &#8211; hyperthyroidism &#8211; is characterized for diffuse hair loss, oily skin, loss of the weight, growing appetite, hypercritical, the to sweat excessive, fast action of the heart, and constantly sensation of embarrassment.  The weakness of the muscle, the fatigue, and the sunken eyes are other samples and symptoms.  With the hiccup and the hyperthyroidism, the gland thyroid can be enlarged.  This it is called goiter.  Both problems can be controlled easily.  The temperature of the body provides a simple indication of the operation of the thyroid.  The hypothyroidism is characterized for a temperature of the low body, hyperthyroidism by a high temperature of the body.  The temperature of the body should be measured upon awaking when the temperature should be on 36.6&#8243;C (9SF).  For the women pre menopause, this temperature is only valid in the seconds and third tomorrows of its period.  The temperature of the low body can associate to a lack of food as well as with hypothyroidism.</p>
<p><strong>Thyroid Gland</strong><br />
The thyroid gland is located in the neck and its main hormones are thyroxine ( T4) and trodotironina ( T3). Both hormones contain iodine and produce the amino acid  &#8217; tyrosine &#8216;. Influence the way in which the body uses the food we eat. This, in turn, may influence the way we feel &#8211; lively or sad.</p>
<p><strong>Underactive thyroid gland</strong> &#8211; hypothyroidism can lead to diffuse hair loss, hair scalp, hair and brittle nails, a dry skin, lethargy, slow speech, and an increase in weight. Sometimes hypothyroidism is associated with toxemia and excessive increase weight gain during pregnancy, heart palpitations, problems kidney, sensitivity to cold, and high level of blood cholesterol. The outside of the eyebrows may be lost. An overproduction of thyroid hormones &#8211; hyperthyroidism &#8211; is characterized by diffuse hair loss, skin oily, weight loss, increased appetite, hyperactivity, excessive sweating, rapid heart action, and constantly feeling of embarrassment. The weakness of muscle fatigue, and sunken eyes are other signs and symptoms.</p>
<p>With the hypo and hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland can be enlarged. This is called goiter. Both problems can be easily controlled. Body temperature provides a simple indication the functioning of the thyroid. Hypothyroidism is characterized by a low body temperature, hyperthyroidism by high body temperature. Body temperature should be measured to wake up when the temperature should be about 36.6 &#8220;C ( 9SF .) For premenopausal women, this temperature is only valid in the second and third morning of his period. Low body temperature may be associated with a lack of food as well as with hypothyroidism.</p>
<p><strong>Parathyroid Glands</strong></p>
<p>These glands are next to or behind thyroid gland. Regulate calcium metabolism and phosphorus. A low production of hormone parathyroid can lead to diffuse hair loss, excessive pigmentation of the skin and muscle spasms.<br />
There are two adrenal glands, one above each kidney. Each adrenal gland has a cortex (outer part ) and a medulla ( inner part) . The bone marrow produces of hormones adrenaline ( epinephrine ) and noradrenaline ( Norepinephrine ) that help the body fight stress. The adrenal cortex produces several hormones among which are the glucocorticoids, which promote the functioning normal metabolism and also help the body fight tension.</p>
<p>Cortisone is one of the main glucocorticoid which, as noted above, it is controlled by the pituitary. A constant overproduction of glucocorticoids due to problems such as tumors of adrenal gland, it can lead to diffuse hair loss, increased weight, fat accumulation, excessive facial hair and a growing body fat. This syndrome is called Cushing &#8217;s syndrome.  Underactive adrenal glands may lead to fatigue, weight loss, pigmentation marked on the skin, anemia, extreme weakness, hair loss in the armpits, and disseminate hair loss. This problem is called Addison&#8217;s disease and both the syndrome Cushing, this and can be treated.<br />
The adrenal cortex also produces small amounts male sex hormones (androgens ). In a female, an increased production of androgens will rise to masculinizing effects such as thinning hair in the area of frontal scalp hair excessive facial, and excessive body fat and acne.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What causes dark circles under your eyes? And how I can get rid of dark circles under your eyes? These are questions almost everyone has faced at some point in their lives.</p>
<p>The dark circles are caused by tiny capillaries beneath the eyes. According to the Mayo Clinic, <a href="http://www.maracal.com">dark circles under eyes</a> are usually temporary and not a medical concern. Surprisingly, fatigue is the most common cause of dark circles. What is it?</p>
<p>Nasal Congestion Causes Dark Circles Under Eyes</p>
<p>Nasal congestion is the number one cause of the dark circles under the eyes. That&#8217;s right. Nasal congestion can give you dark circles. When the nose is congested, veins and capillaries usually drainage from the eyes into your nose is opened (dilated) and darker.</p>
<p>Because the skin under the eyes is unusually thin compared with the skin on your body and face drainage (sometimes erroneously called &#8220;brain capillaries) is more remarkable.</p>
<p>Another cause of dark circles is eyelid swelling during sleep.</p>
<p>Gravity<br />
When you lie down, gravity can cause fluid to accumulate in your lower eyelids. This inflammation can create the appearance of shadows under the eyes. In addition, dark circles can be of chronic skin conditions such as atopic eczema. Dark circles can also run in families.</p>
<p>Skin Creams<br />
Over-the-counter products of women and <a href="http://maracal.com/?p=15">mens skin care</a> can help reduce dark circles under the eyes. Look for skin creams contain vitamin C or K, alpha hydroxy acid and kinetin. The treatment for chronic diseases serious dark circles addresses the underlying cause, if known, and may include bleaching agents and laser therapy.</p>
<p>Sliced cucumbers and potatoes</p>
<p>Sliced cucumbers and potatoes (which have been cooled the fridge) placed over the eyes in the morning can reduce the dark, swelling around the eyes.</p>
<p>Nutrition</p>
<p>Anemia can cause dark circles. A multi-vitamins iron is usually effective in the treatment of anemia. Foods rich in iron include: broccoli, spinach and red meat (see here, because eating cholesterol and risk of stroke).</p>
<p>Sleep &#8211; High Quality Goal</p>
<p>The dream continues for at least 8 hours is not only essential to health, reducing disease risk heart and stroke, but also increase alertness and elevate our states encouragement. The lack of sleep can cause dark circles as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.scalp-health.com/dht-blocker.htm">Itchy scalp hair loss</a> can be caused by several factors, even stress. We see few, however, note that it is necessary to consult a physician to treat in depth a significant issue.</p>
<p>To begin, talk about films, what are they? When the scalp gets a makeover, it removes dead skin. In principle, this renewal does not cause any problems. Furthermore, it is possible that these cells or films grow and multiply abnormally. These will be dry or oily.</p>
<p>You will easily recognize the dry films, because they are all small and light, they fall from the hair like a shower of snow. A dry film also indicates a dry scalp. We must therefore refrain from using special shampoos designed against dandruff. You further irritate the back of your head. Opt instead for a shampoo to dry hair aside, the pH is balanced according to the state.</p>
<p>Unlike dry dandruff, oily dandruff are large and heavy because they are soaked in oil. Watch out for shampoos too strippers who could, through action too drying effect, causing an excess of sebum.</p>
<p>The appropriate treatment for the film passes through the respect of your scalp. Do not attack him with shampoo or other products too strippers. Avoid the water too hot and too hot hair dryer. These are basic tips, see your doctor if your problem gets worse, to have an accurate diagnosis.</p>
<p>You can also experience <a href="http://www.scalp-health.com/">itchy scalp</a> caused by seborrheic dermatitis, caused by a fungus called Malassezia furfur or Pityrosporum ovale. Or, itching caused by psoriasis, skin disease that can spread to the scalp. It comes with thick crusts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Treatment is not necessary if you are comfortable with their appearance. Hair extensions, hairpieces or use the change in style may disguise hair loss. This is usually the least expensive and safest approach for male baldness.</p>
<p>There are two main drugs used for male pattern baldness treatment:</p>
<p>1. Minoxidil (Rogaine): a solution that you apply directly to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles. It slows hair loss for many men and some men grow new hair. The previous degree of hair loss returns when you stop applying the solution.</p>
<p>2. Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar): a prescription pill that inhibits the production of male hormone dihydrotestosterone. As with minoxidil, the person is more likely to have slower hair loss than actual new hair growth. It is generally more effective than minoxidil. The previous degree of hair loss returns when you stop taking the medication.</p>
<p>Hair transplants involve removing tiny plugs of hair from areas where the hair is continuing to grow and placing them in areas that are balding. This can cause minor scarring in areas where hair is removed and a small risk of skin infection. The procedure usually requires multiple transplantation sessions and may be costly. However, the results are often excellent and permanent.</p>
<p>Not recommended Suturing hair to the scalp, which can result in scars, infections and abscess at that site. The use of hair implants made of artificial fibers was banned by the FDA because of the high infection rate. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Currently only two products, one topic (minoxidil) and oral [Finasteride (Propecia)], are effective in the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia. All others have no proven clinical efficacy and scientific rigor in its application.</p>
<p>- MINOXIDIL:<br />
It is a potent peripheral vasodilator, administered orally, was used in the treatment of hypertension. In 1981 started its topical treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Its ultimate mechanism of action remains unknown (its vasodilator action does not fully justify its effectiveness), but it has shown a direct effect on the proliferation of follicular keratinocytes. Habitually used in alcoholic solution in concentrations ranging from 2-5% (in Spain only sold to 2% but is open for development at higher concentrations, with increased efficiency, which can be added to retinoic acid enhancing its effect) . It is useful to both men and women (the latter more effective, since there is a percentage of males in which the product is not effective). In your application you need to know that:</p>
<p>* Must remain in contact with the scalp at least 4 hours before retiring in the wash.<br />
* The product should be applied twice daily (1 cc. Each time) accompanied by a gentle friction.<br />
* The first results take two months to appear, so that its use must be consistent.<br />
* Fundamentally recover hair that is &#8220;miniaturizing&#8221;, which again is as thick pigmented terminal hair, which means serving recovering the &#8220;fluff&#8221;. It will therefore be useful only to certain stages of alopecia (without exceeding the Grade III Ebling). There is therefore a &#8220;hair-restorer. Its primary use is the maintenance of hair once we reach the possible recovery of follicles.<br />
* As described side effects: hair in the beard area (important appearance in women) is eliminated as the drug is stopped, headache in 10% of cases, and mild local irritation.<br />
* By suspending the drug more than 4 months is a drop of hair with loss of all the profit. </p>
<p>Finasteride (Propecia):<br />
Testosterone does not act directly on the follicle, but its active metabolite dihydrotestosterone (DHT), step regulated by an enzyme present in the follicles, 5-a-reductase type II. Finasteride works by inhibiting this enzyme, so that the transition to DHT is not produced and the process of &#8220;miniaturization&#8221; (follicle atrophy) stops, making some of these follicles, even in a time reversible process, recover its thickness and pigmentation, resulting in clinical improvement. This will result in a degree that depends on the number of follicles that are still in a time reversible. Patients who primarily benefit from the drug are men between 18 and 45 with mild to moderate alopecia (grades II-IV scale Ebling). The areas where improvement is mainly observed in the interparietal region and the &#8220;crown&#8221;, being less effective in &#8220;tickets.&#8221; In women, this treatment is now contraindicated. The first results can be seen in the first three months, being observed in many cases an improvement continued until about 18 months of treatment. The optimal treatment indication is to take a daily tablet of 1 mgr. for at least two years. Under these conditions the drug is effective in 86% of boys (much higher rate than that obtained with minoxidil). However, it is advisable to keep the daily intake of 1 mgr. continuously, since the discontinuation of more than 9-12 months represents a return to the previous situation. Furthermore higher doses pose no additional benefit and the possibility of side effects, which do not appear with the recommended dose. Among these side effects highlights the decreased libido, although it must be emphasized that they are described at the recommended dose of 1 mgr. At this dose are not necessary analytical checks or any kind of warning or limitation on the taking of other drugs.</p>
<p>It is important to emphasize that as of today, these are the only two effective treatments in male androgenetic alopecia (in postmenopausal women can use oral antiandrogens dermatologist guidelines and controls its management if necessary). All treatments are effective in their application or ingestion, and not solve the problem &#8220;forever&#8221; but require continuity.</p>
<p>Other &#8220;solutions&#8221;:<br />
Before the appearance of the finasteride, a treatment for male androgenetic alopecia was disappointing. This led to the emergence of numerous &#8220;remedies&#8221; which usually owned by non-specialists in dermatology, promising results &#8220;miraculous.&#8221; Such is the case of ozone application, laser treatment or the insistent &#8220;on the root&#8221; follicle &#8220;weakened&#8221; and seborrhea. None of this is effective. The many lotions and blisters base their initial improvement in the placebo effect associated with the application of any substance &#8220;forward&#8221;, and the friction that accompanies their application which, by itself, produces a slight improvement in the first two months of use.</p>
<p>Some supplements such as cystine, soybeans and other minerals have their own space deficiency in certain situations: after childbirth or illness, crash dieting &#8230; where a supplement can help retrieve the follicle. This is the case of some types of diffuse alopecia by telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia is not where these products are meaningless. The use of vitamins has been popularized and justified without any rigorous or scientific study to support efficacy of their use. Therefore should not be recommended as naturally by other devices, since hypervitaminosis may lead to a dangerous situation to be avoided. It is true that a vitamin deficiency causes changes in the hair, but it would be a symptom of a consistent deficiency in extremely serious, fortunately difficult to see in our environment, except in cases of anorexia, alcoholism, or similar. </p>
<p>SHAMPOOS, DYES<br />
The hair can be washed daily, even several times a day, if for example the practice of sports makes it necessary. It is better to use gentle shampoos often used, alternating with shampoos recommended treatment by a dermatologist if there is also seborrheic dermatitis.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term of androgenetic alopecia refers to hair each, localized or diffuse, it diagnosed in the head, which can affect both men and women. When it comes to alopecia, a label must aadirle then, the causes are many and, therefore, the Prognosis and treatment vary from one case to another.</p>
<p>A healthy person has between 100,000 and 150,000 folculos in the scalp, with a density that stick to over the years. When we are born we have 1,000 ms folculos per cm2 and, over the years, this density decreases progressively to about 250 per cm2 at 50 years of age.</p>
<p>Ms One of the problems common in trichological consultation is women between 25 and 50 years with diffuse hair prdida, sometimes greatly alarm the patient and / or their families. The cause frequent ms telognico effluvium, consisting of a hair prdida in the final phase of their growth cycle, which begins abruptly and may be triggered by thyroid problems, diet, childbirth, emotional estrs, frmacos, etc.. The hair recuperacin occurs within a few months away the cause and often requires no treatment-Specific.</p>
<p>Crnica telognico effluvium is the excessive and prdida diffuse telogen hair phase (phase of each) in women 30 to 60 years of age and whose cause is unknown. Dura ms of 6 months, sometimes up to 10 years, with occasional episodes of agudizacin of each. Fortunately, it tends to form espontnea resolved.</p>
<p>Of greater significance is the androgentic female alopecia (FAGA), then causes a slow and gradual disminucin hair density with miniaturized hairs (unlike telegnico effluvium) and therefore Dimetros differences in the stems of the hairs. This happens for both Gentic as hormonal factors that give rise to generate the fine hair folculo rather than terminal hair. FAGA The incidence is increasing, so that now affects up to 20% of women 30 years of age and 40% ms to ms the age of 65 years. The FAGA can take two patterns: the feminine, which is conserved implantacin Online surveys of frontal hair, and male, similar to male pattern baldness, with gradual decline of the aforementioned implantacin Online surveys. Before a FAGA always be ruled out hyperandrogenism and CFI to health surveillance and treatment, sometimes sistmico, valuing the patient&#8217;s age, degree of alopecia and the possible side effects of treatment.</p>
<p>Another rare form of alopecia, in comparison to the previous, is the scarring alopecia. Aqu early treatment is essential to prevent irreversible destruccin of folculo and sustitucin scar tissue.</p>
