Male Pattern Alopecia Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss. Contrary to common belief (and common naming for that matter) can be seen in both men and women. For a long while, this condition was thought as specific to men therefore, it is also known as male-pattern baldness. Nowadays this form of naming is only used when a man is suffering from this dreaded condition. The most common solution to this condition is having a hair transplant.
How do I know if I have androgenetic alopecia?
You are losing slightly more hair each day? Do you feel like your hairline is receding bit by bit? Are you anxious about the possibility of androgenetic alopecia taking hold of your scalp? Do you wonder if you should start considering a hair transplant operation? Thankfully it is easy to determine if this is indeed your condition, or your hair loss is merely caused by some preventable and temporary change in your body or external factors. Many factors can cause hair loss but the main villains in this condition are age and heredity.
Androgenetic Alopecia
Male Pattern Alopecia The pattern of inheriting androgenetic alopecia is unclear because there are so many genetic factors and exterior effects are likely to be involved. This condition, however, is usually clustered in families, this assures us that, it has a strong connection to heredity. Having a close relative with patterned hair loss is a risk factor for developing this condition. So the age of question, “if my father has hair loss, will I also lose my hair?” is answered with “most likely”.
With androgenetic alopecia, hair is lost in a well-defined pattern. Loss starts on top of both the left and right temples. With the passage of time, the hairline recedes to the point of forming a characteristic “M” shape. Hair at the crown of your head also becomes thinner and thinner. This process often progresses to partial or complete baldness.
While the condition is named the same, hair loss caused by this condition in women differs from male-pattern baldness. In women, the hair on the whole head becomes thinner while the hairline does not recede. Androgenetic alopecia in women rarely, if ever concludes with complete baldness.
There are many other conditions that can accompany androgenetic alopecia. In men, coronary heart disease, enlargement of the prostate gland has been associated with it. Medical conditions such as prostate cancer, diabetes, obesity, hypertension have a relation with androgenetic alopecia. In women, having an increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia. This syndrome can cause irregular menstruation, acne, excess hair growth on different parts of the body, and obesity.
Is it common?
It is quite common among men especially those over 50 years of age. Age is one of the most effective factors that causes androgenetic alopecia along with heredity. Fifty percent of men over 50 have some degree of hair loss caused by this condition. In women androgenetic alopecia usually accompanies menopause. This makes hair transplant operations appealing to many patients in that age bracket alongside younger patients. Because how you look is important and your self-image, life fulfillment is important no matter the age! Especially with the best hair transplant techniques available nowadays, androgenetic alopecia is no longer the once feared beast that it once was.
