If you have recently noticed more hair on your pillow or comb than usual, you may be concerned that you have symptoms of hair loss. In fact, you may just have more hair falling off than usual. Hair loss and hair loss are not the same thing.
"Hair loss" often stops itself
"Normal people lose 50 to 100 hairs on a big date every day. When this amount is exceeded, it belongs to" severe hair loss ", which is referred to in medicine as" resting period hair loss. ".
Severe hair loss is often seen in the following populations:
Excessive weight loss
Maternity
Sudden stress (such as illness, divorce, unemployment, etc.)
High fever (especially when fever subsides)
Surgery, rehabilitation after severe illness
Discontinue taking contraceptives
Most people experience severe hair loss after a few months of significant stress.
For example, a new mother may experience increased hair loss two months after childbirth. Usually, this type of hair loss is most severe four months after birth. However, this hair loss is normal and temporary.
The phenomenon of severe hair loss can disappear through self adjustment of the human body. Generally, between 6 and 9 months after childbirth, hair will return to normal.
If you are constantly under stress, excessive hair loss can also persist, and people who are constantly under great pressure may be in a severe hair loss state for a long time.
"Hair loss" does not automatically stop
"When hair fails to regenerate due to some reason, it is called alopecia, which is medically known as" hair loss during growth. "".
The most common reasons include:
Genetic factors
Immune system overreaction
Certain Drugs and Treatments
Harmful hair care and beauty products
Excessive pulling of hair
If you experience "hair loss during growth", your hair will generally regenerate after the cause is removed.
For example, patients receiving chemotherapy or radiation often lose a lot of hair. If they stop chemotherapy or radiation, their hair will regenerate.
If you suspect that a medication or treatment is the cause of hair loss, please inform your doctor promptly, but do not stop treatment on your own.
Other causes of hair loss may require treatment as soon as possible, and many people with hereditary hair loss have severe hair loss due to lack of timely treatment. A woman who inherits a genetic predisposition to hair loss will gradually become thinner. However, in men who inherit the genetic alopecia gene, their hair lines recede, and they also form a "baldness" that begins at the center of the scalp.
Ask a dermatologist to distinguish between hair loss and hair loss
If you are worried or anxious because you have lost a lot of hair, please do not bear it silently. Enduring it alone can make hair loss even worse.
You can seek help from a dermatologist to determine whether it is "hair loss" or "hair loss," but some people may have both conditions.
Many types of hair loss treatment can be improved, and the earlier you start treatment, the better the effect.
