Losing some hair
every day is a normal physiological phenomenon. Of the thousands of hair we
have on our heads, more than one in ten come daily to dislodge end-of-life hair
to grow in their place. The phenomenon becomes pathological when the hair that
is falling is badly replaced, by fewer and fewer regrowth’s, or are not
replaced at all. In dermatology, it is called alopecia.
This hair loss
is by far the most common: it represents more than 95% of cases in men and 90%
of cases in women.
What
does the term "androgen etic"
mean?
This type of
hair loss coming from an excessive receptivity and genetics of the scalp with
androgenic hormones, the grouping of terms, androgens + gene, gave the
adjective androgen etic.
Hair loss affects millions of
people around the world. The main victims are men, but a growing number of
women are also beginning to suffer. There are different causes for this
phenomenon. Whether one is a man or a woman, the hair is a symbol of strong seduction
and their loss is often the source of many complexes. Heredity, stress, disease
or hormonal imbalance, the causes are numerous. Online sites offer you a quick
overview of the most commonly implicated factors.
Hair loss and heredity
Hair loss is a normal phenomenon.
Each person loses 30 to 100 a day. The quantity depends on the season; it is
more important in the spring and autumn. However, several items must alert when
hair loss becomes too great and extends over a period exceeding six months.
One of the most common causes of
hair loss is heredity. It is then called androgenetic alopecia. It is due to
the influence of testosterone and 5-a-reductase on the hair follicles which
become very sensitive and no longer respect the growth cycle of two to five years.
This cycle becomes shorter, leading to premature death of the hair.
Postpartum alopecia
Hair loss can also occur after
delivery. It is then called postpartum alopecia. 50% of women are affected by
this problem. During pregnancy, the hair is both healthy and very thick. But
after childbirth, they become thinner and fall heavily. This situation is
caused by hormonal disorders. In fact, the estrogen hormones that were produced
in large quantities during pregnancy suddenly decrease, reducing the life of the
hairy devitalizing them. The stress caused by the arrival of a baby, lack of
sleep and energy expenditure is also responsible. This alopecia lasts about 6
to 8 months. Sometimes the phenomenon lasts longer, hence the importance of
quickly consulting a dermatologist so that alopecia does not worsen.
Hair loss because of nutritional deficiencies
Hair loss can also be due to
nutritional deficiencies. Many trace elements, vitamins and proteins are
essential to bring radiance and tone to the hair. When the hair is lacking
iron, for example, they become dull, discolor, dry out and become brittle,
because the blood is not properly oxygenated. This is the case during a diet
too restrictive, anorexia or a diet unbalanced.
Scarring alopecia and alopecia
The so-called scarring alopecia
occurs during hair treatments too aggressive or inappropriate. Too frequent
straightening, a permanent miss, shampoos with soda or too close use of the
curling iron or smooth are involved. Alopecia of treatment, for its part, is
due to braids or elastics too tight.
Alopecia
Alopecia areata, which usually
develops in people under 20, is an infection that causes hair loss on one or
more well-defined circular areas. It would be caused by an abnormal activity of
the immune system attacking the hair follicles. However, they are not
completely destroyed, allowing healing in a large majority of cases. But
relapses are usually expected.
An exact diagnosis for a suitable treatment
When there is the slightest doubt about an abnormal fall of the hair, it is recommended to always consult your doctor or a specialist who will be able to diagnose exactly the causes and the treatments adapted to alopecia. Treatment with Propecia is sometimes inseparable from psychological support or a specific diet. Self-medication is to be excluded, as well as the purchase of miracle products whose effects have not been recommended by health professionals.
