21 male shedding about 20 hair in shower, is that normal?

Question

I usually don' speeding more than 10 hair in shower, but recently, I found my hair shedding increase to around 20 hair, should I be worry about it? In addition, I could found about 8 hair falling out on my keyboard everyday.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day.  If you are concerned about hair loss one suggestion would be to see a doctor for an examination.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Since you're concerned, I suggest seeing an expert to evaluate your condition and consider the best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like PRP/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

If one used to lose 10 and now loses 20, it’s abnormal. Of course one would need to be confident that this is a true change. But if it’s a definite fhange from previous it’s abnormal. What we can’t say is the diagnosis or reason. That would require a full review of your atory and an up close examination. Blood tests might be necessary as well. If your concerns persist be sure to see a physician so that he or she can review your story and blood tests and examine your scalp.

is considered normal to lose about 100 hairs a day.  If you count more between your keyboard,
shower and your hairbrush you may want to consider seeing hair restoration
specialist to have a microscopic evaluation to check for miniaturization.  If miniaturization is present you may want to
start on finasteride to help keep the hair you have.It

Rae Lynne Kinler, MD · Answer

you should shed around 150 hairs a day, so shedding 20 is below the normal number. If you are concerned, you should have a consultation with a hair restoration surgeon who can evaluate your scalp and hair, and discuss with you the preventative measures that one should take.
