What to do if there is too much androgen and hair loss

For men, if the secretion of male hormones is excessive, it often leads to hair loss. In addition, it can also lead to seborrheic alopecia or hereditary alopecia. These people sometimes experience increased dandruff and symptoms of oily and itchy scalp. Especially some young and middle-aged men are prone to such symptoms, which can easily lead to permanent hair loss. Therefore, timely treatment should be carried out and daily conditioning should be strengthened.

What to do if there is too much androgen and hair loss

1. Eat a healthy diet

Men at high risk of hair loss should stay away from greasy, sweet, and spicy foods, increase the proportion of grains, vegetables, and fruits in their diet, eat more iron- and calcium-rich foods such as black beans, black sesame seeds, and eggs, and increase the intake of foods that nourish the hair, such as milk, lean meat, poultry, and fish. Western fast food contains a lot of fried foods, so don’t eat it often.

2. Wash your hair properly

It is not good to wash your hair too often or too little. The more appropriate time is two to three times a week. The shampoo temperature should be around 40 degrees. Gently massage the scalp when shampooing, which can not only clean the scalp, but also promote blood circulation in the scalp. Choose a non-irritating shampoo. After shampooing, it is best to let your hair dry naturally. If you use a hair dryer, be careful not to set the wind temperature too high. Excessive heat will damage the hair tissue and scalp. Combing your hair frequently can not only remove dandruff and increase hair luster, but also massage the scalp, promote blood circulation, and enhance blood supply and nutrition to the hair roots.

3. Avoid exposure to the sun

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can damage your hair, causing it to become dry and yellow. Therefore, you should avoid sun exposure in the summer and take precautions when swimming or sunbathing outdoors.

4. Relax your mind

The younger age of male hair loss is closely related to excessive stress and insufficient sleep. High stress, long-term tension, anxiety, and fatigue lead to poor sleep quality and aggravate hair loss. Relaxing your mind and improving sleep quality can help improve hair loss. Parents in families with genetic factors for male hair loss should learn to help their children relieve stress.

5. Reduce hair dyeing and perming

Frequent hair dyeing and perming will cause hair to lose its luster and elasticity, and even turn it yellow and dry. The interval between dyeing and perming your hair should be at least 3-6 months.

6. Don’t wear a hat for a long time

Wearing a hat or helmet for a long time can easily damage your hair, especially the hairline which will be compressed by the hat or helmet, which can easily loosen the pores and cause hair loss, so you should not wear a hat or helmet for too long.

7. Stay away from tobacco

Smoking has been identified as a risk factor for hair loss. Families at high risk of male hair loss should take care to keep their children away from tobacco as much as possible.

8. Be careful when swimming in public

A large amount of bleach is used in public swimming pools for sterilization and disinfection, but bleach is irritating to the skin. Prolonged contact will make the scalp and hair dry, and make the hair of patients with seborrheic alopecia more likely to fall out. Therefore, you should wear a silicone swimming cap when swimming in a public swimming pool, and avoid swimming for too long to avoid damaging your hair.
