Causes of early baldness in men

Why my hair is falling out

This is the most common question that plagues men in their early 30s and even 20s. The most common problem of early hair loss in men is a hereditary factor, genetics.

The gene that causes hair loss is located on chromosome 7, which means that hair loss can be inherited by both parents, while it was once thought that weak hair is inherited from the mother.

Although you don't have anyone in your family whose hair is falling out, it often happens that some great-grandfather had a tendency to lose hair, so that gene merged after several generations. The hormone that is the No. 1 culprit for hair loss is DHT, which is produced by the conversion of testostero -ne with the help of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. In fact, you inherit the predisposition of follicles to the effects of DHT.

Anagen growth phase

The anagen or active growth phase is the hair growth cycle that lasts 2-6 years. This is followed by a telogen or passive growth phase that lasts 1-4 months. This is a normal hair growth cycle. Follicles that are sensitive to the action of DHT shorten this active phase of growth over time, spend most of the time in the inactive phase, become thinner in the process of miniaturization, and that is why hair loss occurs. Miniaturization is a progressive process, the follicles become thinner and thinner and are completely lost and leave the place without hair.

Where does hair loss begin?

Hair loss begins in the region of the scalp or flaps. More advanced hair loss involves covering the entire area of the scalp to the scalp.
 

Which part of the head never gets affected by the hair loss process?

Hair loss NEVER affects the back of the head and the side, because these follicles are resistant to the effects of DHT. Zones that are predisposed to hair loss have a pronounced activity of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase.

Androgenetic alopecia is a combination of a hereditary factor, genetics and the action of hormones, androgens. Androgenetic alopecia is the cause of hair loss in the largest percentage of men.

The natural process, aging, is the third factor that plays a role in hair loss.

Stages of hair loss

There are stages of faster and slower stages of hair loss in life, however it is very important to know that hair loss is a progressive condition that lasts a lifetime.
Men whose hair begins to fall out in the early 20s and become thinner, generally have a predisposition to lose it completely.
Hair loss can begin at any time of life, but men who experience hair loss in their late 30s or 40s have the best prognosis.

Men who are not sensitive to the influence of DHT hormones, may notice in their late 60s that their hair is minimally lost in density, ie. that senile alopecia occurs.

Young men are advised to start anti-hair loss therapy on time. Middle-aged patients may be suggested a hair transplant.

• Hair transplantation restores self-confidence
• Hair transplantation restores men's self-confidence
• Hair transplantation is a procedure that changes the lives of many men for the better. Those who opt for the AHT method of hair transplantation, do not have to give up their daily obligations.

Cause of hair loss

As they get older, 70% of men have hair problems. Their hair starts to fall out and becomes sparser, so that can affect their self-confidence. Although some men do not have the problem of having sparse hair, a large number of them have a great fear of losing and thinning hair. A diet rich in hair-strengthening foods, a proper hairstyle, a blow-dry that gives the hair volume and makes it look thicker, a scalp massage and hair styling products are just some of the first steps to "covering up" baldness. However, when hair becomes so sparse that they cannot "cover up" baldness, hair transplantation is an ideal solution for many. The procedure provides not only aesthetic changes, but also emotional ones - it restores self-confidence and security. Many studies have also shown that hair transplantation mentally and visually rejuvenates the patient.
