Cause Of Hair Loss In Men
The cause of hair loss in men is very similar to the cause of hair loss in women when it comes to the medical aspect of hair loss. There are
some diseases and medications that can cause men to lose their hair and in some cases it is inherited. However men don't usually lose hair
because of mismanagement of chemicals, such as those used in dyse or braids and things like that as women do. Nevertheless balding is a bigger
problem with men's hair loss than with women.
Balding is a normal process that develops in certain degrees in all men. This process is influenced by the male hormone called androgen. Hormones
are produced in the body and send massages to stimulate every part of the body and this includes the follicles of the hair. Balding can also be
passed down from generation to generation and can be inherited from both sides of the family.
Balding is due to a progressive miniaturization of individual hair follicles which become smaller and have shorter growth cycles. The hairs
become smaller and narrower and the number of follicles remains the same. A man that is bald has the same number of follicles in his head as a
man with a full head of hair.
The extent of the baldness varies as some men have a small recession of hair in the front while some lose their hair on the center of the scalp,
which ends up as a bald spot and some end up with just a thinning of the hair all over the head or the extreme is complete baldness.
There are some things that can be done for baldness if the causes are such things as ringworm. This is where small patches of hair loss occur but
it is associated with the ringworm itself, which can be treated with medication with good results.
