Everything You Should Know about Hair Replacement

Everything You Should Know about Hair Replacement

A look into the types of hair loss and different treatments that is available for hair loss.

For many people losing hair can be an extremely upsetting and disturbing experience. People who suffer from hair loss usually experience forms of anxiety as a result of losing their hair. This is often a very mild feeling of insecurity or may be apparent as a loss of confidence. This is because many people believe that if they lose their hair that people perceive them differently to when they have a full head of hair.

The fact is that in many cases people do have a different perception of someone that has lost their hair but in reality the effect of this is minimal.

Nevertheless the psychological effects of losing hair should not be understated. Both men and women experience a loss of confidence as a result of hair loss and this is because for many their hair is considered a vital part of their sexuality. For both men and women hair is associated with sexuality and those without hair often feel that they are not as sexy as they were with a full head of hair.

It is fair to say that this tends to affect women more often than it affects men. Women are generally less prone to hair loss than men and because there are lots of cases in which men lose their hair it is in some ways more widely accepted in our culture. The negative image of baldness is somewhat surprising when compared to the image of hair loss in primates.

Gorillas actually revere members of their social group that are balding. Indeed gorillas have been found to rub their heads against hard objects in an attempt to reduce the thickness of their hair. This is seen to make them more attractive to the opposite sex. Why is this not always the case with humans?

Causes

One of the main causes of hair loss is as a result of hereditary factors. Male pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss and there are hundreds of thousands of men that experience this type of hair loss. It is considered a natural form of hair loss and many people decide against a course of action and accept it. Pattern baldness also happens to women but far fewer women suffer this form of hair loss as men.

Another cause of hair loss is trichotillomania. This is a disease in which people that suffer compulsively pull out their own hair. The hair loss that is caused by this disease tends to leave bald on the sufferers head in the areas in which the hair was pulled out. The positive thing about this type of hair loss is that the hair can usually grow back providing the sufferer is able to stop pulling it out. Another form of hair loss that is often experienced is that caused by radiation as a result of treatment for cancer. This type of hair loss can be particularly upsetting but usually clears up after treatment has ended.


Hair replacement techniques

Hair transplant surgery has been around for around one hundred years. In medical terms it is a very young discipline and as a result it has experienced a great number of advancements in recent years. The techniques that are used have been updated and amended throughout the years and as a result refinements in the ways procedures are carried out are happening all the time.

Techniques have developed to the extent where people can have hair replacement surgery and the results can compare to the look of natural hair.

Caring for the Elderly: Challenging but Rewarding

Today’s article is about Caring for the Elderly, it’s narrated by today’s our guest contributor Jonathon Hardcastle, he also writes articles on many other topics including kids and teens

Here he goes…

Caring for the Elderly

Caring for the elderly is one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs in nursing. Demanding a great deal of tact and care, looking after elderly patients is a trying and testing job, although it is one of the most necessary and most sought after positions in modern times. Elderly patients require care for a number of reasons, and these each carry their own complexities and challenges which must be met by the carer.

For some elderly patients, care is a round the clock affair and this means you also have to be dedicated to patient's well being. On top of that, patients require genuine attention, which extends beyond the hours of the job. A carer for the elderly must be a genuinely caring person, willing to commit to a career in people. At times it can be a demoralising and depressing job, but at the end of the day, the difference good care can make to quality of life is substantial.

Amongst other things, elderly patients need human company and companionship, and a good carer should have the ability to listen and interact on many different levels. It is a good idea to come with plenty anecdotes, and a good knowledge of current affairs to keep your patients amused whilst you provide them with essential care to improve the quality of their lives. Additionally, it requires patience. Elderly patients can, at times, be set in their ways, and can find it hard to accept help and treatment from someone younger than themselves. However, it is essential to remember that the patients are people too, with their own opinions and dignity. In nursing the elderly, it is a case of striking a balance between offering care and assistance and understanding the mindset of the patient, and this is arguably one of the most difficult things about the job.

Caring for the elderly is not a job for everyone, but it is a job that many would find appealing. Working with the elderly can be very rewarding, and the loyalty and respect you can expect in return for your help is heart-warming. Furthermore, many patients will adopt you and care for you as their own, creating a uniquely bonded two-way relationship. It is this relationship which makes caring a job that is worth far more than any wage, and is something which can provide the real sense of job satisfaction which can't be found anywhere.

During that time, I have used many types of cushion some costing in excess of £200 each but none of them has prevented problems of sores and abscesses on what remains of my buttocks.

I have not suffered a single sore or abscess in the past year and attribute this to the use of your cushion.

Electric Wheelchairs versus Conventional Wheelchairs

Today’s article is about wheelchairs, it’s narrated by today’s our guest contributor Kip Goldhammer. Here he goes…

Electric Wheelchairs versus Conventional Wheelchairs

The wheelchair is an important instrument that is used for various reasons that include accident, debilitating illness, old age and injuries. With the wheelchair, the disabled can continue with life. This is why they need accessible, comfortable and easy to use wheelchairs. Though there are manual wheelchairs, the electric wheelchair is a better choice for those permanently confined to a wheelchair.

With an electric wheelchair, the patient has more independence and finds it easy to move about freely. In other words, with an electric wheelchair, you are less confident on others and are basically more confident than others. In fact, there are people who still pursue sports and other activities designed for people in wheelchairs, with electric wheelchairs.

Electric wheelchairs are available in different sizes and weights. You have to choose yours according to your needs. Younger children or patients should use the paediatric sized electric wheelchair while larger patients should use the heavy duty electric wheelchair. Usually, the electric wheelchair can be folded easily, to make it convenient to store during transportation in a vehicle.

In addition to helping the patient move around, the electric wheelchair has accessories that help you do other work, depending on your needs. Some electric wheelchairs are designed so that it can be controlled by any portion of the body, for those with extreme paralysis. Then there are also electric wheelchairs where the owner controls the movements off the wheelchair with their mouthpiece. There are also some accessories in the wheelchair that makes it possible for you to communicate with others.

The main advantage of an electric wheelchair over a conventional wheelchair is that they offer greater manoeuvrability and better suspension to the patient. They usually have a great suspension system that maintains that the tires are firmly planted on the ground. This helps in the easy negotiation of minor bumps.

There are many stores selling electric wheelchairs where you have to visit to get an idea of the type and size of electric wheelchair that best suits you or the subject. If you are looking for your electric wheelchair for yourself, you can always use the internet to help you with your search for the perfect wheelchair for yourself.

You just have to use the search engine to reach the websites selling electric wheelchairs and on providing your requirements, you will receive an estimation of the perfect electric wheelchair for yourself. If it fits your budget, you may as well place an order, and pretty soon, you will find your electric wheelchair shipped to your doorstep. Before you decide to buy a power wheelchair you need to decide to visit our site (http://www.powerwheelchairreview.com). There may be some things you don't know about choosing the right equipment for your needs. Electric Wheelchairs

My Children Will Care for Me - And Other Myths about Aging

Today’s article is about the aging myth we all know and expect in our aging days, it’s narrated by today’s our guest contributor Pamela D.Wilson, specializes in long term care planning and education for older adults. You can contact her at the care navigator or visit the care navigator blog for more free information: Here she goes…

Many parents come from the old school believing that their children will provide care for them when they age. Some children offer unwavering support while others simply have their own responsibilities with family and career. As a result, some parents expecting support from children are left without assistance. If your parents have slyly mentioned that they expect you to care for them when they are older, give them a copy of this article and have an open discussion. It may open their eyes to the reality and burdens of having children provide care versus developing their own independent long term care plan and result with a realistic expectation of what their children will do for them when the times comes. It may also force them to face the reality that they need to plan for their own care.

Myth one: my kids will take care of me. Have you asked them? Have they agreed? What happens if your children experience a change in their living location or employment status? Will they still be able to provide care? Do you really want your children providing assistance with personal hygiene, bathing and diapering when you age? Have you considered how the additional time required caring for you will affect their spouse, children and employment?

Myth two: I am healthy and will not need assistance. The statistics are indisputable. There is a one hundred percent probability that you will die. Unfortunately when death knocks it usually does not come conveniently or at the right time. Lucky are those who die quickly in an accident. Most of us will die after an illness that requires a certain amount of care. This care may be provided in our own home (we should be so fortunate) or the care will be provided in a hospital or skilled nursing facility. The odds are against us that we will not need care. And if we are fortunate we will not die alone but with friends or family at our side. Would you rather allow your family to be with you at peace in conversation and enjoyment or changing your diapers and worrying about how they will provide for you round the clock care?

Myth three: The government will take care of me. Unless you are fortunate enough to be a veteran of the United States or United Kingdom and accepted into a skilled care veteran facility, it is unlikely that the government will take care of you. Medicare after age 65 pays for hospitalization, some facility care and physician services. If you expect the government to take care of you then Medicaid will be your best option. Are you prepared to spend all of your assets down to a limit of $2,000 per month and live in a care facility funded by the government? Call around and go visit a Medicaid skilled nursing facility. Then decide whether that is the place where you want to spend the last year or days of your life.


Myth four: So we had a few problems in our relationship. When I really need care my children will come through. Depending on the level of difficulty in family relationships your children may or may not be there for you. We know that all children do not have positive relationships with parents or even sometimes with their siblings. There were six children in our family and we all had different relationships with our parents and each other. Don't believe that these differences will be swept under the rug when parental healthcare issues arise. In fact they often escalate as memories of the past that have not healed are opened again.

The truth of the matter is that you are the only person who can be relied on to care for yourself as you age. Sure it is nice to think that your children will help and they probably will. But how much better would it be to have a long term care plan in place that includes long term care insurance? This type of insurance reimburses health care expenses not paid for by Medicare like home care, day care, assisted living and skilled nursing care. How wonderful would it be for your family not to worry that the care you receive will be readily available and provided with quality.

Aging should not be about causing additional worry but about eliminating worry for yourself and family members. Retirement should be enjoyable versus spending through your savings to pay for unexpected long term care expenses. Consider long term care planning before issues arise so that neither you nor your family have to worry about how you will receive care when you need it.
