Male Pattern Baldness
Definition and Causes
Male Pattern Baldness, or androgenic alopecia refers to loss of hair on the scalp in men. The two most common causes of pattern hair loss in men are:
- The change in hormone levels of men as they age
- Genetics,or having a family history of baldness.
Male pattern baldness is associated with male sex hormones called androgens, which regulates hair growth. The other reasons of hair loss can be nutritional deficiencies, infections, and some psychological conditions.
Process of Pattern Hair Loss in Men
Each hair has a growth cycle. With somebody who has male pattern baldness, the growth cycle of the hair weakens and the hair follicle shrinks, resulting in shorter and thinner strands of hair. After some time, the growth cycle of each hair ends and there is no new hair growth in its place.If you start losing hair at the temples or the crown of the head, you may have male pattern baldness. Some men will experience a single bald spot. Others might feel their hairlines receding to form an “M” shape. The hairline will continue to recede until all or most of the hair is gone in some cases.
Serious Health Conditions
The more serious causes of male pattern baldness can be certain cancers, medications, thyroid conditions, and anabolic steroids.
How is the diagnosis done?
Doctors may perform a medical history exam to diagnose or rule out certain health conditions as the cause, such as fungal conditions of the scalp or nutritional disorders.
What are the after-effects?
The after-effects of male pattern baldness can be rash, redness, pain, peeling of the scalp, hair breakage, patchy hair loss, or an unusual pattern of hair loss.
Who generally suffers from Male Pattern Baldness?
Pattern Hair Loss in Men can begin from teenage years but generally starts when they are adults. Genetics play an important factor. If somebody in family or close relatives suffer from it, you are at a higher risk.
How to address Pattern Hair Loss in Men
Hair Styles
Men who have limited hair loss problem can get a right haircut or adopt a nice hairstyle to hide their hair loss. You can ask a hairstylist as they might have a better idea of what kind of hairstyle will suit you the best and make you look good.
Wigs or Hairpieces
Wigs come in a variety of styles, colours, and textures. They can fix the problem of receding hairlines, thinning hair or complete baldness. Choose wigs that look similar to your original hairstyle to give a more natural look.
Weaves
Wigs that are sewn into your natural hair are called weaves. The only condition is that you should have enough hair to sew the weave into. The pros of weaves are that you do not have to drop them during activities such as swimming, showering, and sleeping. The cons are that they must be weaved or sewn again when new hair growth occurs. The sewing process can be damaging to your natural hair.
Hair Transplant
Hair transplants are performed by removing hair from areas of the scalp, having active and good hair growth and transplanting them to thinning or balding areas of your scalp.
