Hair shedding: a normal part of life or a cause for concern?
Hair shedding is a normal part of daily life, with most people losing between 50 and 150 hairs each day. These are the hairs you see on your comb, pillow, and in the shower drain. However, if you’re losing more than this amount of hair, it might be a sign of hair loss.
What medications cause hair loss?
From antibiotics to cholesterol-reducers, a variety of medications can cause hair loss. Fortunately, this type of hair loss isn’t permanent. Most people with this issue just need to change their dose or switch to a different type of medication.
Does a bad hairline mean that I’m balding?
It’s normal for your hairline to change as you get older. That being said, there’s a difference between age-related changes and a receding or thinning hairline. Receding and thinning are two of the first signs of male pattern hair loss.
Does masturbation cause hair loss?
Masturbation’s association with hair loss is an urban legend. It might have come from the relationship between sexual activity and hormonal changes, or the protein lost when men ejaculate. Fortunately, masturbation can’t cause or increase hair loss symptoms.
