Hair loss issue is not just an exclusive matter for fashionable women.
In fact, men and women alike are more concerned on how to keep their hairs from thinning or getting bald totally. Although hair loss is a normal occurrence, excessive hair loss, medically known as androgenic alopecia, is actually threatening. Women hair loss may be due to various reasons which includes intake of oral contraceptives or pills, result of fashion hair arrangements, pregnancy or strenuous situations which prompted hormonal imbalance. On the other hand, male hair loss is usually attributed to heredity reasons and this is called androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness.
Usually, inherited male hair loss occurs during early a man’s early 50 years old. How could this be possible? Male pattern baldness actually occurs when hair loss sufferer inherited sensitive hair follicles against dihydrotestosterone or DHT. Dihydrotestosterone, a medical terminology referring to male pattern baldness, is actually produced and is responsible for male gender formation and characteristics. Deep voice, facial hair and body growth are attributed to this biological component. If DHT is a major biological component for hair growth, men who have sensitive hair follicles against DHT are more likely to have thinner hair and the worse is that these affected hair follicles stop producing good hair strands thus leading to male hair loss. Further studies indicate that DHT actually shrinks or stop the growth of hair follicles gradually but this may continue to the extent of baldness if not resolved during the early stage. Yes, male pattern baldness is a gradual process and it takes hair follicles to fully expose to the DHT hormone until such time those hair follicles begun to miniaturize. This gradual intervention on male’s hair actually shortens the life span of hair follicles thus hindering hair growth properly. However, similar to various reasons why women hair loss is possible, there are other factors affecting the gradual loss of hair among men. Aside from age, hair loss may take place if you are taking any medications and hair loss is a primary side effect. It is also most likely that you are undergoing severe stressful situations that hinder your hair from growing naturally and regularly. In order to identify possible male hair loss issue, assess fairly if any members of the family have male pattern baldness issues. Understanding your family’s medical history is also a big help for you to take appropriate action against baldness. You may want to discuss this issue with a trusted and credible dermatologist who can perform scalp examination. True enough, DHT is a major contributor on male hair loss. The best part is that medical studies show that there is a way to prohibit or control the miniaturization process of the hair follicles, thus preventing or slowing down the male pattern baldness. All it takes if for you to identify possible signs of androgenic alopecia and looking at the early signs, you will feel better knowing that you did not took the early signs for granted.
