Specifically, there are many reasons for hair loss, such as genetic factors, immune factors, excessive mental stress, staying up late, drugs (such as chemotherapy for hair loss) and so on. For men with alopecia, more than 90% of alopecia is androgenic alopecia (androgenic alopecia for short). ?
Male alopecia is a progressive alopecia disease, which occurs in adolescence and after puberty. The main manifestations of men are the backward movement of forehead hairline and/or the progressive reduction and thinning of hair on the top of the head, and a few are diffuse hair thinning. ?
The onset time of this kind of alopecia is usually in the period when the patient's secondary sexual characteristics are formed (usually around 18 years old). During this period, the patient's testosterone will be secreted in large quantities, and testosterone will react with 5a reductase to generate dihydrotestosterone DHT, which is a fundamental cause of hair loss. It will make sensitive hair follicles on the top of the patient's head and forehead. Shrink and thin until closed. After the hair follicle is closed, people will naturally go bald. A lot of training and competition every day will make athletes secrete more androgens, so they are closer to hair loss. Not to mention athletes, many bosses in the gym also have hair loss problems.
Moreover, it is quite troublesome to deal with this kind of hair loss. First, try to reduce androgen secretion, do more anaerobic exercise and participate in aerobic exercise such as basketball, football and swimming. The other is to intervene with drugs. ?
At present, the only internationally recognized drugs for treating male alopecia are oral finasteride and topical minoxidil. Everything else is IQ tax. Don't be fooled. Because "finasteride" has certain side effects, mainly because the regulation of hormones in men may lead to sexual dysfunction, so doctors in tertiary hospitals in China will mainly prescribe "minoxidil" for patients. Because it is an external spray, the side effect is small, and the biggest side effect may be that some people with hair loss are sensitive to scalp itching. ?
Minoxidil is applied to the scalp to promote hair growth, which is relatively friendly. It is an over-the-counter drug and can be searched on Tmall and JD.COM. Minoxidil 1986 is on the market and has been treated and used in the world for more than 30 years. At present, there are several better minoxidil brands in China, such as HeyBro, which focus on improving men's health and image, with good cost performance and after-sales service. Generally speaking, minoxidil is easy to purchase, with high recommendation rate and low risk, and it is a better choice for sports enthusiasts with hair loss problems. ?
