Description:
The anagen phase is greatly impacted by excess dihydrotestosterone (DHT), thereby negatively affecting the exogen phase—the phase that is responsible for the natural shedding of hair from the scalp. Although losing 50 to 100 hairs per day during the exogen cycle is considered normal, losing too much hair may contribute to balding.
Excessive hair loss refers to the androgenic hormone present in some hair follicles within the scalp, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Oftentimes, with older age, hair follicles thin, causing them to fall out. However, in patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), excessive activation of DHT and testosterone (T) shorten the growth (anagen) phase of the hair follicle, resulting in hair loss. Male and female hair loss can often be attributed to an inheritance factor from either parent.
Hair loss may be caused by a number of other factors, including chemotherapy, pregnancy, and health conditions.
Despite this, there are many myths present about the factors that cause hair loss. For example, many often think that the restriction of air or blood flow to the head, such as wearing hats or frequent hair washing, may cause hair loss. This is false!
Hair loss happens due to few main reasons. Genes, past medical conditions, hormonal changes & nutritional deficiencies. Hereditary hair loss, also known as male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia (AGA), is the most commonly experienced form of hair loss which usually occurs or worsens as you get older. The first signs of male pattern hair loss can be a bald spot or receding hairline.
Hair loss treatments include medication, therapy or a mix of both, but finding out what is causing your hair loss is the first step.
Those who experience balding all of a sudden with no apparent cause should seek immediate medical help to determine the reason. Sudden hair loss may be due to medical conditions, like alopecia areata, vitamin deficiency or arising as a side effect of a medication you are taking. These types of hair loss are usually not permanent and can be treated.
