Is male hair loss normal?
Hair shedding is part of the natural hair cycle. It is normal to find hair on the bathroom floor or on pillows. You can expect to shed up to 100 hair follicles per day.
This amount of hair usually does not get noticed.
So, when you notice hair being shed in your daily routine, it is necessary to check for possible reasons of the excessive hair shedding.
What could be causing male hair loss?
Hair shedding can be the result of systemic illness, hormonal disturbances, genetics, lifestyle, scalp conditions and so on.
A complete evaluation is necessary to identify the main causes of hair shedding.
Some aspects should be analyzed, such as:
- General health conditions
- Medications
- Surgeries
- Diet
- Gym supplements and steroids
- Lifestyle
- Hair styling
- Hair shaft and scalp examination
Is it possible to recover the hair that is shedding?
Hair shedding does not mean hair loss.
The hair follicles that shed by the natural hair cycle are replaced by new ones, starting a new hair cycle.
Even abnormal excessive shedding does not mean hair loss, because there are transitory causes of hair shedding.
Once these causes are identified and treated, the hair can recover completed.
Otherwise, hair shedding can evolve to hair loss, characterized as baldness.
Male hair loss can be caused by genetics, inflammatory and cicatricial scalp disorders, after scalp trauma or radiotherapy.
