Every day, we lose 50-100 hairs as a result of physiological reactions. It is completely natural. Sometimes, however, the losses are greater, new hair does not grow out, and the hairstyle is noticeably thinning. This is a sign that something is wrong. The key in this case is prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The problem of excessive hair loss affects 85% of men over 50. The process of baldness may begin in adolescence. The most common causes of male baldness include genetics and hormones. Excessive hair loss can also be the result of long-term stress, illnesses, medications or poor diet.
