Meniere's Disease - What is it?

Meniere's disease is a disorder that emerges from the inner ear. The name Meniere is taken from the French physician, Prosper Meniere who described this condition.

People suffering from Meniere's disease usually experience vertigo attacks, tinnitus or ringing in the ears, a feeling of pressure in the ear and some intermittent hearing loss.

Typically, an Meniere's Disease attack usually starts with a feeling of fullness in a ear. Hearing fluctuation or changes in tinnitus may also precede an attack.

A Meniere's attack normally involves a severe case of vertigo, where the patient experiences spinning, imbalance and vomiting. On an average, an attack could last for one to three hours. Many patients indicate that after such an attack, they feel extremely exhausted and require to sleep for hours.

Extreme sufferers can also be disabled by having a fall or collapsing. More often than not, these attacks occur without any warning. New sufferers of this disease often complain of sudden attacks and are usually caught unawares. Those patients who have suffered for a while could, through experience, foresee an attack coming based on sudden pressure in the ear, increased tinnutus and slight dizziness.

Normally these attacks occur in clusters - patients report having few attacks over a short period of time. They then go on for years without having any symptoms or attacks.

Hair Loss Causes in Women

We lose approximately 100 - 150 strands of hair daily. This is mostly from brushing and manipulating our hair. If you happen to have have long hair, this may look like a lot, but, considering the amount of hair on a head, it is actually a tiny amount.

However, if hair is coming out in clumps, or you notice circular patches of balding spots, there may definitely a problem that may require some treatment.

The following causes should be investigated if you are experiencing abnormal hair loss:

1.Diet:
An unbalanced diet, especially one without enough protein, could cause temporary hair loss. Women who are anemic also often experience hair loss.

2.Menopause:
Change in hormones during menopause can escalate hair loss which may be permanent.

3.Frequent Shampooing:
Shampoos contain a lathering ingredients which can be irritating to the scalp and cause itching and scratching which in turn increases hair loss.

4.Lack of Proper Care:
If you color and treat too much, blow dry and heat with curling irons and hot rollers excessively, you could see increased hair loss. You need only to look at your bathroom floor, sink and countertops to notice this. Slow down!

5.Psychological Stress:
Increased hair loss can occur with pregnancies, major surgery, or a major life event, such as a death or divorce. These are usually temporary and hair growth will return to normal eventually.

6.Heredity:
Heredity plays an important part and comes from both sides of the family.

7.Other Health Conditions:
Thyroid problems and diabetes can accelerate hair loss. Obviously, these need to be diagnosed by a physician.

There are lot of ongoing research which may soon resolve most of the causes of hair loss in women.

However, there is a currently great product that has been proven to be effective.

It is called Provillus. It is an oral supplement, which works to block DHT, a form oftestosterone that is responsible for 95 percent of hair loss.

It also works to stimulate the scalp and bring dead follicles back to life. You can use Provillus as a preventative tool, starting the program before hair loss becomes severe, or you can use it after DHT has already begun to take hold of your hair and scalp. You can get it at www.provillus.com.
