The Causes of Hair Loss in Men 

        It's common knowledge that men are just as susceptible to hair loss as women are. In fact, according to the American Hair Loss Association, approximately two-thirds of all hair loss sufferers are men. Although hair loss is generally thought of as only affecting older men, the truth is that hair loss can affect men at any age. Men have many different causes of hair loss, from genetic factors to medical conditions to lifestyle choices. We'll explore some of the most known causes of hair loss in men and what you can do to prevent or treat it. 

Genetics: 

One of the most known causes of hair loss in men is genetics. There isn't just one reason for this but a combination of reasons for this hair loss, including hormones and genetics. If your father and/or grandfather experienced hair loss, chances are you will too. This type of hair loss is called androgenetic alopecia or "male pattern baldness."

 

Medical Conditions: 

Many medical conditions may cause hair loss in men. These include alopecia areata (an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss), scalp infections, and skin disorders like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. 

Lifestyle Choices: 

Certain lifestyle choices can also contribute to hair loss in men. These include smoking, which can damage the hair follicles and lead to premature hair loss; excessive alcohol consumption, which can dehydrate the scalp and hair; and crash dieting, which can cause nutrient deficiencies that lead to hair loss. 

Treatment: 

There are several treatments available for hair loss in men. These include medication, surgery, and lifestyle changes. Medication, such as minoxidil and finasteride, can help to slow down or prevent hair loss. Surgery, such as hair transplants, can also be an effective treatment for hair loss. And lifestyle changes, for example, quitting smoking and eating a healthy diet, can help to prevent or slow down hair loss. You can talk to your physician if you're worried about hair loss. They can help you settle the reason for your hair loss and advise the best treatment options.
