Androgenic Alopecia

Men generally face the problem of baldness when they reach middle age, especially those who have been engaged in mental activities for a long time. Baldness is more obvious. If you see those educated people, they basically have a large bald spot on their heads. In fact, there are many reasons that affect male hair loss, mainly the influence of male hormones and daily eating habits. So what should be done about androgenic hair loss? Men who are troubled by hair loss come to learn about it.

Notes

Eat right

Men at high risk of hair loss should stay away from greasy, sweet, and spicy foods, increase the proportion of grains, vegetables, and fruits in their diet, eat more iron- and calcium-rich foods such as black beans, black sesame seeds, and eggs, and increase foods that nourish the hair, such as milk, lean meat, poultry, and fish. Fast food contains a lot of fried foods, so don't eat them often.

Shampoo moderately

It is not good to shampoo too often or too little. The most appropriate time is two to three times a week. The shampoo temperature should be around 40 degrees. Gently massage the scalp when shampooing, which can not only clean the scalp, but also promote blood circulation in the scalp. Choose a non-irritating shampoo. After shampooing, it is best to let the hair dry naturally. If you use a hair dryer, pay attention to the temperature of the wind not being too high. Overheating the wind will damage the hair tissue and the scalp. Combing your hair frequently can not only remove dandruff and increase the luster of the hair, but also massage the scalp, promote blood circulation, and enhance the blood supply and nutrition of the hair roots.

Avoid sun exposure

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can damage your hair, causing it to become dry and yellow. Therefore, you should avoid exposure to the sun in the summer and take precautions when swimming or sunbathing outdoors.

Relax your mind

The younger age of male hair loss is closely related to excessive stress and insufficient sleep. High stress, long-term tension, anxiety, and fatigue lead to poor sleep quality, which will aggravate hair loss. Relaxing your mind and improving sleep quality will help improve hair loss. Parents in families with genetic factors for male hair loss should learn to help their children relieve stress.

Reduce hair dyeing and perming

Frequent hair dyeing and perming will make your hair lose its luster and elasticity, and even turn it yellow and dry. The interval between hair dyeing and perming should be at least 3-6 months.

Don't wear a hat for a long time

Wearing a hat or helmet for a long time can easily damage your hair, especially the hairline, which can cause the pores to loosen and cause hair loss. Therefore, you should not wear a hat or helmet for too long.

Stay away from tobacco

Smoking has been identified as one of the risk factors for hair loss. Families with high-risk male hair loss should keep their children away from tobacco as much as possible.

Public swimming precautions

A large amount of bleach is used for sterilization in public swimming pools, but bleach is irritating to the skin. Long-term contact will make the scalp and hair dry, and make the hair of patients with seborrheic alopecia more likely to fall out. Therefore, you should wear a silicone swimming cap when swimming in public swimming pools, and avoid swimming for too long to avoid damaging your hair.

Conventional treatment

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, hair is closely related to the liver and kidneys. The kidneys store essence and the liver governs blood, and their beauty is in the hair. If the liver and kidneys are deficient, the essence and blood will be insufficient, and the hair follicles will not get enough nutrition. One situation is that the ability to synthesize melanin is weakened, resulting in gray hair. Another situation is that the hair follicles atrophy or die, causing hair loss.

Western medicine believes that under normal circumstances, the hair papilla of the human body has abundant blood vessels, which provide sufficient nutrition for the hair papilla and hair bulb, so that the hair growth hormone is synthesized smoothly. Various adverse stimuli (hormone level effects, neurological stimulation effects, etc.) cause spasms in the blood vessels that supply hair nutrition, causing the nutrition transportation function of the hair papilla and hair bulb to be impaired. When the formation of nutrition synthesis in the hair papilla and hair bulb is impaired, or although it is formed, due to some factors, the production of ATP substances with cell energy function will be blocked. When ATP, which serves as a heat source, cannot be produced, hair protein synthesis cannot be carried out, hair matrix cells lose vitality, the nutrition of the hair medulla and cortex decreases, keratinization begins, hair follicles begin to atrophy or die, a large number of hair enter the resting phase, and a large number of hair will fall out.
