Experts from Wuhan Hair Transplant Hospital revealed the types and causes of hair loss.
Hair loss can be roughly divided into two types: non-hereditary hair loss and hereditary hair loss (male hair loss)

1. non-hereditary alopecia

Non-hereditary alopecia is reversible. Hair loss can be improved or even cured by changing daily diet, living habits and mentality.

There are many reasons for non-hereditary alopecia, which can be divided into the following categories according to the cause:

nutritional alopecia

If the digestion and absorption are not good, it will cause the necessary nutrient deficiency, or the fat metabolism will be disordered, and the fat around the hair follicle will accumulate too much, which will make the hair yellow and easy to break, which will lead to hair loss. Therefore, such patients can be prevented by reasonable adjustment of nutrition.

Postpartum alopecia (postpartum alopecia)

When a woman is pregnant, the human body secretes more estrogen, which suddenly decreases after delivery, and hair loss may also occur. This kind of hair loss is expected to be reborn after a period of rest and recovery.

Drug alopecia

Long-term use of chemical drugs such as heparin and anticancer drugs, or chemotherapy may cause a lot of hair loss. Hair can regenerate in the short term and cause permanent hair loss in the long term.

Seasonal alopecia

Some patients lose more hair in late autumn and early winter, and scattered hair can be seen in the basin every time they wash their hair. This is not a symptom. Don't be nervous. Just wash your hair less.

Endocrine system disorder alopecia

Hair growth is influenced by many endocrine hormones, so when the spirit is stimulated or stressed, abnormal endocrine often leads to hair diseases, the most common ones are hirsutism or alopecia areata.

2. Non-hereditary alopecia (male alopecia)

Male performance:

We usually call serious alopecia with large area, sparse and obvious as seborrheic alopecia, androgenetic alopecia and hereditary alopecia.

Patients with this kind of alopecia usually have three manifestations: hair oil, affected by androgen, and hereditary. This is irreversible and needs drugs to improve.

Public relations principles:

Everyone has androgen testosterone, which combines with 5α reductase to form DHT. DHT is a hormone that can cause hair follicle atrophy. Hair follicles of androgenic patients are particularly sensitive to DHT, which leads to hair loss.
