Hair Loss in male

For many of males around the world, hair loss is something like going into hell. They think that it will make them to stand as the faces aging process in front of others. If hair loss has become a problem for you then, you are not the only one; if you will simply walk down the street you will find many others like you. Around 25% of male start losing hair before they reach the age of 30 and two thirds before the 60. Sometimes male can begin losing hair in their teen age too and can reach their early twenties with very less hair left on the crown of their head.
Androgenetic alopecia is known as male pattern baldness which has a defined pattern of hair loss. It starts with a slight decrease of hairs at the front hairline and is followed by thinning on the crown of the head. The hair above the ears and at the nape of the neck always remains unaffected with this. The hair follicles are genetically predisposed to be oversensitive to the DHT and become smaller and smaller with time, leading to the eventual male hair loss.
Alopecia Areata is an extremely common condition of male kin balding which affects 1% to 2% of the population at some point of time in their lives. Most affected with this are children and young adults, it can affect people of all age group. Problem of hair loss is sudden and manifests itself in small, smooth-skinned patches that are likely to gradually increase with time. The exact cause for hair loss is still unknown. If the hair loss continues until all the scalp hair is lost this is known as alopecia totalis or alopecia Universalist if all the body hair is lost as well.
Hair loss can also be the result from a dry, damaged and itchy scalp problem. Inflammation of the scalp produces superoxide, which causes hair shedding and leads to diffuse hair loss.

What is Hair Loss

Hair loss
Hair growth in humans is always unstable which means while some of the hair grows that time remaining hairs remains in resting stage. For a person who is not losing his hairs, about 90% of the hairs on his head are in a 2-7 years growing phase. The remaining 10% are in a phase of experiencing a 2-4 month resting phase. As one hair sheds, a new one replaces it. This is a process which repeats itself over and over again for many years in most of the people.
Problem of hair loss occurs when this continues process becomes skewed. Instead of the increment in re-growth rate of hairs faster than the shed rate, it decreases, thus, in result to this shedding exceeds the rate of re-growth.
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is a kind of hormone. Presence of this hormone is directly linked with hair loss. DHT hormone is formed when testosterone and 5-alpha-reductase merge. This excess of DHT leads to follicles that grow back shorter and thinner. After some time, this DHT imbalance leads to baldness.
Reason behind DHT imbalance is believed to be caused by genetics or an underlying medical condition.
Some of the reasons behind hair loss are:
1. Improper Nutrition supply in body
2. Different Medications
3. Hair damaging products
4. Heavy medical treatments
5. Scalp Disease or Infection
6. Disease
Most of these can be treatable with a variety of products that are available at various shops according to prescription. It is advised to consult the doctor to help diagnose the problem.
