Male Hair Loss
Do You Know Male Hair Loss?
By Antin. Even hair loss is common in men and women, but a lot more men suffer from hair loss than women.Usually male hair loss refers to male pattern baldness. Male hair loss also called as “Androgenic Alopecia”. Male hair loss affects a man at any time after puberty. The hair usually recedes the letter “M” and the crown hair becomes thinner as age advances. For man hair loss is a sensitive issue.
The cause of male hair loss is mainly due to the levels of DHT (Dihydro testosterone) in the scalp. Immediately after his puberty, DHT is present in a man for developing secondary sexual characteristics. DHT gets attached to the hair follicle and prevents the assimilation of nutrients to the follicles.
An evidence cause of male hair loss is an excess of DHT. Research shows that men suffering from male pattern hair loss have highe level of DHT particularly in the scalp. Normally the hair passes out three phases (expansion, falling off, new expansion). DHT quickens the falling out phase and shortens the expansion phase. This results thinning out of hair and finally shedding of it which results in male hair loss.
