Stress does not cause hair loss—it simply makes a
bad situation worse. Telogen effluvium, for example,occurs after an insult to the system. The most common cause is pregnancy. This can result in extensive and worrisome hair loss in women in the first few months after the birth of a baby. It is, however, temporary and returns completely.
What is DHT and how does It cause hair loss?
DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone. This is the
active form of the male hormone testosterone. 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 saw palmetto, which is the active ingredient in Biostim. Biostim blocks the formation of active testosterone and allows those hairs predisposed to inactivity to become active again and make new hairs. There is an answer in most cases with early treatment.

Bleeding heavy during pill
By: eg30 | 20-07-2008
I was on Microgynon pill for 4 months, then changed to Cliest this cycle which I had in the UK and had packets here, I had light spotting which was fine, however I had intercourse and have had bleeding one week before my period is due, it is heavier than spotting, more like a light period. I'm not sure if I should continue taking my pill until the end of the 21 days or stop now, or whether it is due to intercourse?

Urgent_Please advice me!
By: Christin | 20-07-2008
Hi, I have a terrible story to tell you, there was a rumour about a guy whom i work with that he has kids, then a coworker asked me if he was single or not as she was interested in him, i told her that he has kids, however the girl is gone now and it is been like a month and he came up to me NOW and told me why did i tell her he has kids, he had no kids, he told some poeple one day as a joke and it seems that they spread the news. I feel terrible for being the reason to seperate the two of them for something that was not true, so i told him that i will contact her and tell her all the truth, he told me well it is too late now as he has told her the truth, but she told him that it makes no differnce as she quit liking him since I told her about the kids and it is when things started going downhill. I feel terrible,I did say sorry, but ofcourse it still feels teriible. I feel like I am a bad person. He is not mad at me, he tried to hug me as I got very emotional about it, which feels even worse but I left immediately. What should I do?
In a relationship for 5 years but in love with another man
By: wishfulthinking | 20-07-2008
I have been in a relationship with a man for 5 years. When we met and started dating, I will admit I did not have any real passionate feelings for him and unfortunately still do not to this day but he is a perfectly wonderful man in every other respect. I have also had a male friend who I have kept in regular contact with for the past 6 years and have been in love with for almost that same amount of time. We have never initiated a relationship but we were on the cusp of exposing our feelings a few times throughout the duration of my relationship with my boyfriend. Now my boyfriend is wanting to propose, and I begin to freak out. I reveal to my crush that i have had feelings for him throughout our friendship and we reveals he also has feelings for me (I am not sure if they are quite as strong as mine, however). But, he says he is afraid it wont work because he lives in Hawaii and I on the east cost of the US (he is in the military). I dont know what I should do. My boyfriend is a perfect man but i cant seem to want to commit my life to him. And crazy enough, I am in love with this other man and would be willing to give up my life (my job, being in school {which i found out I could take a year off from}), which is very much unlike me and live with him until he would be deployed to Iraq next October. I am depressed that I have let it go this far with both men and not making a real decision on my life. What should I do? what are your ideas?
Mental time loop?
By: Andrew. E | 20-07-2008
Whilst I was asleep people making noise outside caused me to become aware of my surroundings whilst asleep. They then somehow held me in a state where they could see what I was going to do in the future. Since then I have been stuck in a mental time loop and keep having conversations in my head that take place between the time of the incident and the present time. It`s very confusing and frustrating, any advise on how to deal with it?
