Hair loss is a problem that affects men and women alike. Apart from mental tension it induces a feeling of consciousness in the individual. To what extent this feeling is justified is however a matter of debate. People who are facing the problem can rely on a wide variety of resources to tackle the situation.

Many medical publications are available online that can help patients to understand the problem and search for remedy and precaution simultaneously. Many medical institutes posts their medical publications, some have patient's guide to hair restoration etc. These resources are available in layman's language and help explain what causes baldness, how it is diagnosed and the best medical and surgical options available. If a patient has any query regarding hair loss, baldness, thinning of hair or other hair problems, these resources come in handy. Patients only need to confirm whether these websites have recognized physicians so that best possible guidance is provided.

Some of these sites are

http://www.hairlosshelp.com, http://www.hairlosspatientguide.com,

Many of these sites help the patient to search for a doctor and some even have the facility to directly consult a doctor. If you want to go through hair transplant, you need not visit a doctor personally to understand the procedure. Then we have websites such as www.hairtransplantdocs.com, which are turning out to be the best resources for of hair loss patients. These sites provide you enough information regarding the procedure. These sites also give you an opportunity to search and interact with hair transplant doctors. Some of these sites help you to search for hair transplant doctors throughout the world and gather information about them. You can satisfy your doubts by knowing the profile of the doctor before interacting directly. You can also go through the questions that other people have posed. This helps you in shedding doubts and fear.

Some other important resources are The American Academy of Dermatology, The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery and New Hair Institute which is a medical group of board certified physicians, dedicated to hair restoration, hair transplant technology, clinical research and teaching.

There are resources for medication, medicines and doctors like Hair Loss Information Sites, Hair Loss Organizations, Hair Transplant Sites, Hair Loss-Non Surgical Treatments, Hair Health & Beauty Products, Health-General, Hair replacement & Wigs, Cosmetic Surgery and Hair Removal. You should not however take these resources as the only means of getting information. You can read medical journals, news, alerts, and go through the FAQ's but a visit to a dermatologist is a must. A personal visit helps you to interact in a more effective way as the doctor will be able to answer your queries in detail as compared to information on website. The content of these resources should not be used as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The advice of a doctor regarding your medical condition is a must. This is because ultimately only your doctor can diagnose your problem and advise subsequent treatment.
