What causes male pattern baldness?

Male pattern baldness is a difficult issue to accept for many men. The loss of hair can be due to several reasons -- genetics, disease, and stress -- and usually occurs in men ages 25 to 40. This type of hair loss usually follows a similar pattern of receding along the hairline and also thining hair on the crown of the head. Hair typically continues to get finer and shorter over time.

There are various causes:

    Genetics – Male pattern baldness is almost always caused by genetics. It is the effect of hormones on the hair follicles. The genetics can be passed on from one or both of your parents.

    Disease – Hair loss can be caused by disease, but this is rarely the case. If you think a medication that you are taking is causing hair loss, then contact your doctor.

    Stress – Many men will testify that stress causes hair loss. This is debatable, but it is healthy to decrease stress levels. You may see a difference in your overall heath.
