Women's Hair Loss Survey Debunks Myths
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 10, 2008 -- In a survey conducted during the months of November and December 2007 by The Women's Hair Loss Project (www.WomensHairLossProject.com), a website uniting and empowering women around the world who suffer from hair loss, one-fifth of 517 female respondents said that they began to see signs of hair loss between the ages of 15 and 20. These results debunk the myth that women primarily suffer from hair thinning as they age. It also reaffirms scientific studies linking hair loss to the use of birth control pills.
Website survey participants were asked: "How old were you when your hair loss first started?" Results signified that hair loss onset is strongly weighted during one's teen years, tapering off to just three percent after age 60.
Complete survey results are as follows:
- Age 15-20: 20%
- Age 20-25: 19%
- Age 30-35: 18%
- Age 40-50: 17%
- Age 25-30: 14%
- Age 50-60: 9%
- Age 60+: 3%
"Information from both member emails and our recent survey are telling," explained the Project's founder. "A considerable number of women start to lose their hair at a young age, coinciding with the use of birth control pills. This can be extraordinarily crippling to a woman's self-esteem at any age, but even more so during these extremely delicate years of self-discovery."
Though surprising to most women, even The Mayo Clinic warns that birth control pill use may result in hair loss. "The Women's Hair Loss Project (http://www.womenshairlossproject.com) aims to educate women about various risks, while fostering a supportive and empathetic environment," she continues. According to The American Hair Loss Association (http://www.americanhairloss.org)(ALHA), all women, especially those with a family history of hair loss, should be aware of the drugs potential for exacerbating the issue, recommending the use of low-androgen index pills or another non-hormonal form of birth control.

Discussions about Birth Control
It is required by both the partner to discuss about birth control as both share responsibility if an unwanted pregnancy occurs. Moreover it is also important to have a discussion foe safe sex, to keep safe from sexually transmitted diseases. Few individuals feel awkward or embarrassed to have such a discussion. Talking about contraception makes couples prepared for sex and as such they feel they undergo a kind of internal conflict about engaging into sex.

Therefore it is important for couples to discuss about choosing various birth control options.

Effective Birth Control: "It's Better To Have It And Not Need It Then Need It And Not Have It"
A subject very near and dear to my heart is the subject of birth control in all its forms. Condoms are the oldest form of effective birth control (second only to abstinence of course), but of course there are many others, most of them for women. This seems to be a source of tension between the sexes as I have met many women who are displeased with the fact that most birth control methods place the responsibility on them. To this I say: what's your point? I'll admit it's unfair, but there's not much else we have to work with at the present time. We've been hearing talk of a male birth control pill for many years and it still isn't here so we have to do the best with what we have. And hey, if and when that male pill comes out I'll be first in ...
