Generally, hair loss is related to seasonality, self-stress, and dietary habits, and in most cases, the amount of hair loss will not exceed 100 per day, and the hairline and top of the head will not be observed to show obvious hair loss and expose the scalp. Male hair loss is different, once the disease occurs, it will cause hair loss all year round regardless of the season, and the hair loss area is limited to the hairline and the top of the head, and it is usually accompanied by the phenomenon of greasy scalp and thin and soft hair, which is very different.

The hairline of many male compatriots has receded, especially the M-shaped receding, that is, the hairline looks like an M word from the appearance, which is a common manifestation of hair loss in androgenetic alopecia Of course, the Mediterranean Sea is also a common manifestation, and androgenic hair loss is inherited in families, and it is easy to distinguish between family members.

Hair loss occurs every day because hair has anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. It is time for the hair to fall out when it enters the telogen phase, and it falls out naturally or after combing or washing the hair, which is a normal physiological phenomenon that will continue to fall and live. However, if it is excessive, it is abnormal hair loss, and the number of hair loss per day should be less than 100.

How to simply check whether hair loss is abnormal, one is to observe whether the hair is thinner than before, whether the hairline has moved back, especially whether the hair on the top of the head is getting less and less.

If it is a girl, you can see whether the braids you tie are significantly thinner than the original, this is the observation of the naked eye. The other is to do a hair pulling test or a hair pulling experiment, that is, to pinch the hair with the first three fingers, about 40 60 roots, along the strands, if you can fall off more than five roots, it means that there may be more hair loss, of course, before doing the experiment, it is best not to wash your hair within 24 hours, or you are not sure of it, you can go to the hospital to let the doctor help you do a ** mirror examination, or other related examinations, to determine whether it is a normal hair or pathological hair.

Just check to see if anything falls out when you wash your hair.

The so-called androgenic alopecia is a seborrheic alopecia, and the gradual thinning of hair on the top of the head or forehead is considered seborrheic alopecia.

The symptoms of androgenogenic alopecia are excessive scalp fat overflow, often accompanied by increased dandruff, greasy scalp, and obvious itching. It usually occurs in young adults with strong sebaceous gland secretion. Patients usually have fine and soft hair, and some have symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp.

Hair loss begins to spread from the top of the head, spreads to the forehead, and then spreads to the entire top of the head. The scalp is greasy and bright red, with yellow oily crusts.

In men, hair gradually falls out, the sideburns recede, the anterior hairline rises, and the hair on the top of the head is thin or even bald, which is progressively worsening. The disease is characterized by progressive hair loss on the forehead and top of the head. The disease usually begins between the ages of 20 and 30.

Some people estimate that 25% of the occurrences occur before the age of 25; About 50% of men around the age of 50 suffer from the disease. Genetic predisposition generally presents earlier. The earliest manifestation is an increase in the proportion of telogen hair, which is not easily distinguishable from general telogen effluvium.

Most of this hair loss starts on the forehead and sideburns on both sides, and the front hair line gradually recedes, and the forehead becomes higher and gradually expands upwards in an M-shape, which is a chronic process.

Later, as we age, the hair on the top of the head gradually decreases and eventually most of it falls out. There have also been cases of hair loss on the forehead sideburns and top at the same time, or hair that begins to fall out from the neck. The hair gradually becomes thinner and softer, especially in the new parts.

Hair on the upper forehead and top may fall out completely,** smooth, with reduced pores or a small amount of thin, soft hair, while normal hair remains on the occipital and temporal areas on both sides. In severe cases, hair loss on the top of the head and forehead is connected into large patches, leaving only most of the horseshoe-like hair around it. The rate and extent of hair loss varies from person to person, ranging from mild hair loss to good and bad, or for many years, to severe hair loss in just a few years.

Generally, the disease progresses most rapidly around the age of 30. Symptoms are absent or only mildly itchy. Only the hair is affected, not the beard and other hairs.

There is no atrophy at the place of hair loss**, the follicle pores are visible, and there are short, fine hairs. The sebum in the hair loss area can no longer moisturize the hair, and it is left on the scalp, so the scalp is particularly oily.
