Baldness has a great impact on a man’s image, thus affecting his love, work, life, etc. Because people seem to have a lot of prejudice against bald men - weak? lustful?
The reasons why men are bald
1. Seborrheic alopecia: This condition is medically called male alopecia, and it is mostly caused by androgen (excess testosterone) in the body. The main symptoms are thick oily secretions on the scalp, shiny, sparse and soft hair, or dry, easily broken hair, increased dandruff, dull, sparse and slender hair.
2. Pathological alopecia: Mainly due to viruses, bacteria, and high fever causing severe damage to hair mother cells, inhibiting the normal division of hair mother cells, putting hair follicles in a state of shock, and ultimately leading to hair loss.
3. Chemical hair loss: Harmful chemicals (or certain drugs) damage scalp tissue and hair follicle cells, causing hair loss.
4. Physical hair loss: hair loss caused by air pollutants clogging hair follicles, harmful radiation, pulling hair for a long time and other reasons.
5. Nutritional hair loss: The main component of hair is keratin, so adequate protein intake will help hair grow. Lack of protein will cause hair to stop growing, fall off or even change color.
6. Obesity alopecia: If you are too obese, a large amount of saturated fatty acids will be metabolized in the body and produce waste products, which will block hair follicles and cause hair loss. It usually manifests as a large amount of oil production from the skin and a greasy scalp.
7. Hair loss caused by lifestyle habits: washing hair too little or too often, staying up late, being in a state of high pressure and anxiety for a long time, irregular life schedule, etc.
How men can save baldness
1. Supplement vitamins from fruits
Vitamins It plays an important role in promoting hair growth, and can also provide cleaning effects on the scalp and improve hair quality, such as some common fruits: citrus, papaya, and kiwi.
2. Supplement protein
Hair growth requires enough protein. Lack of protein and insufficient absorption of nutrients by the hair are also a major cause of hair loss. These are daily foods rich in protein. Food – Cereals, raisins, beans, black sesame seeds.
3. Selection of washing and care products
Hair growth shampoo has a certain auxiliary effect in preventing and treating hair loss, but it cannot completely cure all types of hair loss.
When buying hair growth shampoo, look at the ingredient list and choose targeted chemical ingredients. Scaling on the head is often accompanied by abnormal proliferation of Malassezia.
The ingredients ketoconazole and selenium disulfide in the shampoo are antifungal, reduce scalp inflammatory response, and inhibit the generation of dandruff; minoxidil can relax blood vessels, promote scalp blood circulation and hair loss.Hair growth. If shampoo or lotion contains these substances, the effect of preventing hair loss is better.
4. Believe in traditional Chinese medicine
There are some diseases that the hospital cannot detect. Finding an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor to come up with folk prescriptions or something like that can be effective. Some people's baldness can be cured by traditional Chinese medicine, but it contains a lot of water. If you want to believe it, you can give it a try to see if it has any effect.
5. Hair transplantation
Hair transplantation surgery is to use microsurgery technology to remove a part of healthy hair follicle tissue, allowing it to survive and grow naturally in a new location. Hair transplantation is to extract the hair from the head. Healthy hair follicles in the occipital area are cultured and transplanted to the hair loss area
6. Minoxidil and finasteride
Finasteride can inhibit intracellular type II. 5α reductase, thereby inhibiting the level of male hormones in the human body. However, we are more concerned about some side effects of finasteride, especially for men, such as decreased sexual desire.
Minoxidil achieves the effect of treating hair loss by stimulating hair follicles and prolonging the growth cycle of hair follicles. However, minoxidil is only suitable for hair loss patients whose hair follicles have not been completely necrotic.
<p style="text" -align: center;">There are also benefits to baldness for men
1. Most are smart
According to reports, men secrete a large amount of male hormones during the embryonic stage It turns out that male hormones can promote the development of the right hemisphere of the brain, and the right brain is mainly responsible for identifying images, geometric spaces and other image thinking. Therefore, if more male hormones are secreted in the human body, it will help maintain and develop the normal right brain. Physiological activities make people smarter. The above opinions are for reference only. There is no authoritative and unified statement about whether you are smart or not.
2. You are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases.
The main organs that produce male hormones are the testicles and the adrenal cortex. Chemically, male hormones represented by testosterone belong to a class of organic compounds that contain both carbon bonds and carbon rings. They are broken and structured by cholesterol molecular bonds.
Therefore, cholesterol in bald men is not easy to accumulate on the blood vessel walls, thus avoiding vascular disease to a large extent, thereby reducing the risk of hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, etc. The risk of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, studies have also found that male hormones can promote protein synthesis, so bald men are not susceptible to osteoporosis.
3. Cancer
The amount of male hormones in the human body is closely related to the incidence of cancer. Studies have found that the serum testosterone levels of these cancer patients before surgery are significantly lower than that of bald men. It is said that due to the strong secretion of male hormones and high serum testosterone levels in the body, they are less susceptible to cancer.
4. Long lifespan
It is well known that cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis are common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases recognized around the world that seriously threaten human health and life today. Since bald men have a large amount of male hormones, they can play a magical role in disease prevention and health care. After 12 consecutive years of observation, scientists in the United States measured the hormone levels of 242 bald men aged 50-79. Compared with those who were not bald, they found that their mortality rate was 48% lower than those who were not bald. This confirms the theory that bald men live longer.
