Sometimes men begin losing hair in their teens and can reach their early 20s with very little or no hair. You may notice the symptoms of male pattern hair loss in friends, family or work colleagues. If you are worried that it may affect you too, seek treatment to prevent the problem from happening.

What causes male pattern hair loss?

Its no secret that this type of hair loss is caused by genetic factors. The reason why it happens is less obvious; its actually caused by a complex chemical reaction when an enzyme in the body converts your testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). If your hair follicles are genetically sensitive to DHT, they eventually shrink to a point to where they are no longer able grow hair.

External factors can cause this problem to happen earlier in some men that others. It may be due to a hormonal imbalance, illness and infectious diseases, nervous disorders, and in rarer cases, injury and impairment. In these instances, hair loss treatment can be started as early as possible if you are aged 18 and above.
