Male Pattern Baldness
Understanding Male Pattern Baldness (MPB)
Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is a common form of hair loss that affects millions of men worldwide. It is characterized by a progressive thinning of hair on the scalp, typically starting at the temples or crown and gradually spreading to other areas, resulting in a receding hairline and eventually, baldness. While male pattern baldness is often considered a normal part of the aging process, it can have a significant impact on self-esteem and confidence for many men
Causes of Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is primarily caused by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors:
Genetic Predisposition: The most significant risk factor for male pattern baldness is genetics. Men with a family history of baldness, particularly on the maternal side, are more likely to develop male pattern baldness themselves.
Hormonal Changes: Male pattern baldness is influenced by the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a byproduct of testosterone. DHT binds to hair follicles, causing them to shrink over time and eventually stop producing new hair.
Age: While male pattern baldness can occur at any age, it is most commonly seen in men over the age of 50. Hair loss tends to become more noticeable and progressive with age.
Symptoms of Male Pattern Baldness
Receding Hairline: One of the earliest signs of male pattern baldness is a receding hairline, often starting at the temples and gradually moving backward.
Thinning Crown: As male pattern baldness progresses, the hair on the crown of the scalp may become thinner and sparser, eventually leading to baldness in this area.
Hair Loss: Male pattern baldness typically follows a distinct pattern, with hair loss occurring in specific areas while the hairline at the sides and back of the head remains largely unaffected.
Miniaturization of Hair: In addition to hair loss, male pattern baldness may also result in the miniaturization of hair follicles, leading to thinner, weaker hair that is more prone to breakage and shedding.
