What you need to know
For many men, having a full head of hair is a sign of youth, strength, or even vitality. It’s obviously not easy for everyone to accept the onset of hair loss. Hair loss in men, also known as male pattern baldness, is primarily caused by genetic and hormonal factors.
Here are some of the main causes of hair loss in men:
1/
Hereditary Male Pattern Baldness:
The most common cause of hair loss in men is heredity. Male pattern baldness is usually linked to the sensitivity of hair follicles to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Men inherit this sensitivity from their family members.
2/
Hormones:
Hormones, especially testosterone and its conversion into DHT, play a significant role in hair loss in men. DHT gradually attacks the hair follicles, leading to thinning hair and gradual hair loss.
3/
Age:
Hair loss becomes more common with age. Many men begin to lose their hair from late adolescence or their twenties. Male pattern baldness tends to worsen over time.
4/
Environmental Factors:
Certain environmental factors, such as smoking, exposure to environmental toxins, or harsh hair chemicals, can contribute to hair loss in men.
5/
Poor Diet and Nutritional Deficiencies:
An unbalanced diet and deficiencies in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, B vitamins, and vitamin D can impact hair health and result in hair loss in men.
6/
Underlying Medical Conditions:
Some medical conditions, such as lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and other autoimmune disorders, can also contribute to hair loss in men.
