What causes hair loss in males?
Male hair loss can start in your late teenage years, and progress into your early 20s and 30s. Up to 50% of men will experience a degree of hair loss by the time they reach their 50s. The number one cause of hair loss is male pattern baldness. Also known as androgenetic alopecia, male pattern baldness is a hereditary condition. Other types of hair loss include: general hair thinning, receding hairline, thinning hair crown, alopecia areata, and trauma (telogen effluvium).
Disappearing scalp hair takes a few different forms, such as shedding, thinning, and bald patches. Here are some factors that can cause hair loss: genetics, hormonal imbalance, stress, diet, vitamin deficiency, and medication side effects. Studies indicate genetics account for about 80% of male pattern baldness.
