‘Hair loss stress’ does not cover age. An increasing number of people from their 30s to the elderly in their 80s are suffering from hair loss. Hair loss is largely influenced by genetics and male hormones (androgens). Middle-aged women also experience severe hair loss when male hormones increase. Is there any way to reduce hair loss stress?
◆ I went vegetarian for health, but the symptoms of hair loss… why?
Recently, vegetarianism has been emphasized for weight control and health. However, excessively restricting meat intake and eating mainly vegetables and fruits can cause hair loss due to protein deficiency. Immunity decreases and the skin becomes rough (data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). If you are on a diet, rather than completely avoiding meat such as chicken, pork, and beef, it is better to eat lean meat and eat protein-rich fish and legumes in appropriate amounts. Eating black beans regularly from a young age helps to reduce hair loss symptoms.
◆ Unreasonable diet, cause hair loss… Hair protection should start early
Singer Shin Dong, 38, revealed that he is taking hair loss medication. In JTBC’s ‘Knowing Bros’, which aired on the 22nd, Shin Dong said, “Actually, I’m taking hair loss medicine. I used to have a lot of hair, but it started to decrease,” he said. The doctor who appeared on the day said, “An unreasonable diet that greatly reduces food is not very good for maintaining hair,” and advised, “I am taking hair loss medicine.
◆ Decreased sexual function after taking hair loss medicine? Erectile dysfunction medications can be taken simultaneously
Hair loss pills also have the risk of causing erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction can also be caused by antihypertensive drugs, antidepressants, tranquilizers, and prostatic hyperplasia drugs, and these drugs can also cause other symptoms such as decreased libido and ejaculation disorders (data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). However, Hong Seong-woo, a urologist who appeared on ‘Knowing Bros’ that day, said, “(I’m concerned about erectile dysfunction) I don’t stop taking hair loss medicine.”
Professor Min Kwon-shik (Department of Urology, Busan Paik Hospital) said, “If you experience erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction after taking a hair loss treatment, you can use minoxidil-type drugs other than Propecia, which are not related to male hormones.”
◆ Hair loss treatment for women?
Applying minoxidil is the only treatment for hair loss in women. It prolongs the hair growth period and thickens it. However, there is a limit to not being able to create a new hair nest. Minoxidil is a safe drug even when applied to the skin, but irritation or contact dermatitis may occur, and hirsutism may occur in adjacent areas (data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). However, if you stop applying it, these side effects will go away. Of course, if you stop using the drug, the hair growth effect disappears and returns to its original state after 3 to 6 months.
