Medical treatment isn’t necessary if other health conditions
aren’t a cause. However, treatments at METRO HAIR TRANSPLANT CLINIC are
available for men who are unhappy with the way they look and would like the
appearance of a fuller head of hair.
One cause of male pattern baldness is genetics or having a
family history of baldness. Research has found that male pattern baldness is
associated with male sex hormones called androgens. The androgens have many
functions, including regulating hair growth.
Each hair on your head has a growth cycle. With male pattern
baldness, this growth cycle begins to weaken and the hair follicle shrinks,
producing shorter and finer strands of hair. Eventually, the growth cycle for
each hair ends and no new hair grows in its place.
Doctors use the pattern of hair loss to diagnose male
pattern baldness. They may perform a medical history and exam to rule out
certain health conditions as the cause, such as fungal conditions of the scalp
or nutritional disorders.
Health conditions may be a cause of baldness when a rash,
redness, pain, peeling of the scalp, hair breakage, patchy hair loss, or an
unusual pattern of hair loss accompanies the hair loss. A skin biopsy and blood
tests also may be necessary to diagnose disorders responsible for the hair
loss.
Male pattern baldness can begin in your teenage years, but
it more commonly occurs in adult men, with the likelihood increasing with age.
Genetics plays a big role. Men who have close relatives with male pattern
baldness are at a higher risk. This is particularly true when their relatives
are on the maternal side of the family.
Some of the best prevention methods by our Surgeons at Metrohair Clinic include:
1. Eating a balanced diet
2. Using combs with wider spaces between bristles
3. Avoiding harsh treatments and hairstyles
4. Switching medications to avoid the side effect of hair
loss if possible
5. Avoiding pulling or twisting hair
Male Hair Transplant at Metro Hair Transplant Clinic:
The only surgery available for hair loss is hair transplant
surgery.
Transplanting hair works for men with male pattern baldness.
The transplant involves removing hair follicles from the back of the head where
they are resistant to DHT and placing them on the scalp.
