Hair growth is cyclic. So a normal hair on your head goes through the growing stage for two to six years. After this, it stops growing and rests on your head for about two to three months. Once the hair has rested, it falls out. Every hair that falls out is then replaced by a new one that once again goes through this three stage cycle. At any point of time therefore, some hair is in the growing phase, some in the resting phase and some in the falling phase. As a result, a normal hair fall of 50 to 100 hairs per day is normal. But anything more than this can be easily classified as being abnormal and people suffering from this degree of hair loss should immediately consult a dermatologist or trichologist to control this phenomenon.
Infertility is a condition where a heterosexual couple is unable to conceive after one year of regular unprotected intercourse. Contrary to popular belief, infertility is not just a woman’s problem and it affects both men and women almost equally. And while many people suffering from infertility never approach medical practitioners for help, it is estimated that infertility affects more than 10% women and men of reproductive age. The good part is that almost 90% of infertility cases can be treated using either medication or surgery or both. In many cases, simple lifestyle changes coupled with medications often lead to a treatment of infertility.
