How to save men from hair loss?

Welcome everyone to take a look at this popular science article by Dr. Lilac-"The True Man". It was at the suggestion of the doctor and this article that I started my therapeutic journey.

This paper is based on personal experience, interspersed with other materials.

Introduce yourself first. ?

Male, 22 years old, M prefix, with soft hair. Every time I go to the barber's, the barber will pretend to be surprised and say, "Why is your hair so soft?" Do you want a perm to make the hair on the top of your head fluffy? " Tired of being asked, I decided to buy hair wax, so I don't have to put up with the pressure from the barber anymore. The scalp is oily, so you must wash your hair every day to keep your hair fresh. All the immediate male family members have slight baldness (the hair condition of immediate family members is very important, which will be mentioned below)

My hair loss was caused by dropping out of my freshman year (last year), and then I often stayed up late with insomnia and anxiety, and I used to wash my hair with cold water (lazy cancer patients, also in winter). Hair loss is obvious from March to June, and roommates can often find a lot of hair under my seat. When I returned to China in July, my hair loss reached its peak, and my symptoms were obviously alleviated, especially at the hairline position. The hairline moves up as a whole, and the word M is more obvious (from M to M). I saved a photo of my hair pulled up on the ipad, but it was deleted by my girlfriend and I couldn't find it on icloud. What a pity.

Let go of the picture of the article mentioned above. I probably made the transition from 1 to 2.

Many people say that staying up late will lead to hair loss, but after reading some information, I doubt this view. I prefer that anxiety usually accompanied by staying up late is the main cause of hair loss. Please make sure not to be too anxious at night.

Because Baidu always urinates, I don't believe the result of searching "How to treat hair loss" on Baidu. I went to the dermatology department of the municipal hospital for consultation as soon as I got home during the summer vacation.

The doctor looked at my hair and thought that my symptoms were not obvious, but at my insistence (I still remember what I said at the beginning, "Although it doesn't look obvious, it's terrible to put it at my age"), he prescribed me two medicines, one is selenium disulfide lotion and the other is minoxidil tincture.

Selenium disulfide washing is mainly aimed at dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis (seborrheic dermatitis is a symptom of seborrheic alopecia, which is closely related to androgenic alopecia. For details, please refer to the entry on seborrheic alopecia in Baidu Encyclopedia. However, I strongly recommend that ordinary people use this product occasionally. The anti-dandruff effect is really great. Wash once to ensure that there is no dandruff for a week. It should be noted that due to the high toxicity of selenium disulfide (the content of selenium disulfide in lotion is about 1%, so it can be safely used), so try to avoid contact with wounds or eyes.

Minoxidil tincture is minoxidil spray, which belongs to external medicine and is available in pharmacies and online. Minoxidil should be the only medicine in modern medicine that can make people grow hair. Please pay attention to the concentration before buying. One product is 3% minoxidil, and the others are 5%. 5% spray for a long time is easy to grow dandruff, please use it with selenium disulfide emulsion.

If the immediate male relatives of alopecia men have alopecia symptoms, you can basically judge that you are androgenetic alopecia, which many people think is a feature of their strong sexual function. But it has nothing to do with the androgen content. The narrative quoted at the beginning of the article is:

It is also very convenient to take finasteride at the same time. Drugstores and online pharmacies also sell them. The most expensive and convenient one is propafenone from Merck, one tablet 1mg finasteride. Most finasteride tablets on the market are used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Five milligrams per tablet. You can buy it and divide it into four parts.

Many people will seek Chinese medicine treatment in the face of hair loss. I remind you again, never use Chinese medicine to treat hair loss. The theory of alopecia in traditional Chinese medicine is not worth mentioning in the face of modern medicine, not to mention the great harm to the kidney caused by herbs for treating alopecia.

I have used the therapy of "selenium disulfide lotion+minoxidil tincture" myself, but the effect is not very satisfactory. On the one hand, my own emotions and living habits have returned to normal levels, and my hair has gradually stopped falling off, but my hairline has moved up a lot. Minoxidil tincture has a good effect on baldness and alopecia areata, but it is ineffective on M-type alopecia caused by forehead alopecia. And the tincture sprayed on my head felt sticky and uncomfortable, so I decided to take a chance and take minoxidil tablets.

Minoxidil is used to treat alopecia, similar to the story of Viagra treating impotence. In clinical trials, it is found that the drug itself plays a certain role in a certain part of the body. Minoxidil is a antihypertensive drug, and its pharmacological action is to dilate venules and lower blood pressure. One of its side effects is the increase of hair all over the body, mainly concentrated in the head and upper limbs, which will cause hirsutism respectively. Secondly, it will cause water and sodium retention.

The daily dose of minoxidil tablets is 5mg, and the daily dose of minoxidil tablets is 40- 100mg. It can be said that I follow the principle of safety first in dosage. It has been taken for 4 months now, and the effect is obvious.

After taking it, the first thing that grows is small fluff, which can be called "hair" after several shedding and growth. The hair on the sideburns used to grow only to the middle of my ears, but now it grows to my whole side face (length). I'm really glad that a few hairs keep appearing on the hairline.

Of course, because of minoxidil, some changes have taken place in other parts of the body. Where there is no hair, hair begins to grow, and where there is little hair becomes hairy: a few beards begin to grow under the lips, and the hair on the arms doubles. The "Little Qinglong" from XX to navel has grown directly to the chest. None of this appeared when I used tincture.

1. Don't expect shampoo to prevent hair loss.

Think about how something that only stays on the scalp for 5 minutes can have a magical effect of preventing hair loss. Zhang Guang 10 1 was also banned in Singapore because it contained minoxidil (the reason for the ban was not minoxidil, but because it concealed the fact that it contained minoxidil). This is just a joke. I have used two kinds of anti-alopecia shampoos: one is the 200 1 brown bottle in Japan, and the other is the anti-alopecia hairstyle in Germany. Both shampoos feel good, especially the former, which is liquid after washing and very comfortable. I don't think the latter is famous, and it is a big brand without silicone oil shampoo. But as I said, what lasts only five minutes on your scalp is not so magical, at best, it can only be partially relieved. The most important thing about shampoo is its cleaning effect. Clean the scalp and hair, and leave the rest to others.

2. About the absorption of minoxidil: I found this passage on the Internet for reference only.

3. Silicone oil

In order to promote their silicon-free products, many businesses will create the concept that silicon shampoo will cause hair follicle blockage, which will lead to hair loss. However, there is no evidence that silicone oil is directly related to hair loss. But I still recommend you to use silicone oil-free shampoo. You can't go back after using it. It's refreshing However, products without silicon are best used with conditioner and hair mask, because products without silicon will have astringent taste after washing. If you don't want to go to so much trouble, recommend a Japanese horse oil shampoo, which is refreshing and supple with horse oil instead of silicone oil.

Take care of your hair

First of all, wash your hair frequently, and don't let your hair mix with your oily secretions and dust, because the gods can't save you. Secondly, use conditioner or hair mask as much as possible to ensure the elasticity of hair (shampoo really makes hair brittle). Finally, nourish the scalp with scalp care solution to relieve oil.

I first recommend Japanese products for the above products, which are ridiculously inexpensive and worthy of being the light of Asia.
