Hair Loss FAQs (4)
Hair loss in men is often due to a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia, also known as male-pattern baldness, which is linked to genetic predisposition and the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Other causes can include stress, poor diet, certain medications, medical conditions (like thyroid disorders or diabetes), and lifestyle factors (such as smoking or lack of sleep).
Male pattern baldness can begin as early as the late teens to early twenties, though it is most common for men to notice thinning or receding hairlines in their thirties or forties. The severity of hair loss can vary from person to person and can progress gradually over the years.
The primary symptom of male pattern baldness is thinning hair or a receding hairline, often starting at the temples or crown of the head. In some cases, hair loss may result in complete baldness in certain areas. Other types of hair loss may include sudden shedding or patches of missing hair, which can be a sign of other conditions.
Hair loss treatments vary in effectiveness depending on the individual and the cause of hair loss. Minoxidil can help regrow hair in some men, especially when used early, and finasteride can help slow hair loss. It’s important to start treatment as early as possible for the best results.
