We all know how much popular the pill called propecia is. But we all do not know how it works to control the problem of hair loss. In adults the testosterone floating in the blood stream combines with an enzyme. The final result of this combination is that DHT is formed. DHT very truly plays a very much crucial role in the proper development of the sexual organs during the fetal stage of the life. Also during puberty there is proper development of the male characteristics. When the hair loss occurs in a man, the genetically programmed follicles start the development of the receptor sites of DHT.

The DHT itself gets attached to these receptor sites. After this attachment it starts to treat the genetically programmed follicles as foreign objects inside the human body. This chemical change affects the hair and also causes oiliness, inflammation and itching. During this period of time, the genetically programmed follicles under the attack of DHT starts to miniaturize until after many years with each and every growth cycle, it is simply very much short and also small to be seen. There are many other hair loss treatments also but they are not as effective as this pill called propecia really is.
