I started loosing my hair at about 17 in the front. It has been receeding very slow and i am 31 now. I have always took it as a fact of life and never gave it much thought. It seems latley it has receeded to the point that my wife has been making " you look old remarks " and i have started taking less care of myself. I guess i have gotten a poor self image. So this morning i had enough and started looking to set an appointment to Bosley. After researching the procedure a bit, i got the image of Duece Bigalo geeting a hammer and chisel taken to the forehead. I started thinking that this might not be for me. I read a few other sites that seemed to be selling a product and not giving info. Then i ran across this site.
So i have been slowly balding for 14 years. There is no balding on my moms side of the family but my dad is bald ( he says from head trauma when he was younger). As of now i dont live a healthy lifestyle, i drink, smoke and generally eat whatever i want. But this has only been the case in the last couple of years minus the smoking. I use to take preety darn good care of myself.
Now for the questions.
Should i go to a doctor to get test done?
What kind of doctor?
What is the best treatments to help regrow hair?
Would i ever make it back to normal?
If i start taking meds, will i have to take them forever?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have been reading through the site and it seems there are alot of words and abbreviations i do not understand. Is there a reference page?
