Androgenic alopecia:
In many cases, the cause of hair loss in young or middle-aged people is what is called “androgenic alopecia” or male pattern baldness. Research shows that today about 20% of men suffer from this type of hair loss in their youth.
The causes of this type of hair loss are too much, but after puberty in boys, their hair usually becomes thinner. That’s why hair follicles are more prepared for hair loss at older age. Of course, with measures and techniques, you can largely prevent men’s hair loss.
In cases where the hair loss is severe, according to the doctors diagnosis of hair transplantation or hair restoration methods, this supply can be eliminated and prevented. So far these reasons have been identified for baldness and male pattern baldness:
-
Genetics:
Men’s hair loss is inherited in many cases, and its genes are passed on from one parent. Some people may carry the gene, but they may not have hair loss or baldness. Contrary to many people beliefs, men who inherit the hair loss gene from their mothers are more prone to hair loss than men who inherit the gene from their fathers. Currently, the best way to solve the problem of those who have this gene is hair transplant methods (including SUT hair transplantation).
-
Hormones:
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone that is linked to testosterone and causes hair loss and in some cases baldness in men. Hair follicles become thinner during DHT secretion, and over time the hair shaft becomes weaker and smaller. Later, many of these hairs stop growing.
-
Age:
DHT does not affect the hair follicles suddenly, but its effect on the hair follicles and the onset of hair loss occurs over time. In general men’s who suffer from alopecia may have more or less the same hair loss at different times, and may even stop for a while at certain time.
-
Using a hat :
Wearing regular hats or helmets in different seasons of the year does not normally cause hair loss. Many people mistakenly thought that covering their heads with a hat was the cause of their hair loss, while on the contrary, using a hat could even be good for the health of the skin and hair, especially using sun hats in the summer.
-
Stress :
Stress and nervousness is bothering many people these days, and many mistakenly think that stress alone may cause hair loss and baldness in men. Stress can exacerbate hair loss, but it is not the only cause of baldness and hair loss.The best way to treat all of these hair loss and baldness patterns is hair transplant surgery.
