Reasons for hair loss in men
Are you wondering how common male pattern baldness is? If you put 100 50-year-old men in a room then on an average, 50 of them will be losing their hair in predictable patterns. (Source: NCBI)
What causes hair loss in men?
-
Genetics:
Nutritional deficiency in men can affect the structure of the hair as well as the growth of the hair. Hence, it is an essential reason of hair fall in males. A study of 312 patients found that alopecia patients were more likely to have zinc and copper deficiencies. (Source: PubMed) Vitamin D helps hair follicles function properly. So, its deficiency is a cause of hair fall in men. When you don’t have enough iron, your body can’t produce the hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin carries oxygen for the growth and repair of cells in your body, including the cells that stimulate hair growth.
-
Hormonal imbalances:
Testosterone hormone is responsible for deep voice and muscular growth. When a man’s body converts testosterone to the less useful dihydrotestosterone (DHT), he experiences hair loss. DHT attacks and shrinks hair follicles and might result in hair thinning or hair loss.
-
Thyroid issues:
Thyroid patients often experience hair fall due to the speeding-up of the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
-
Stress:
Have you been under a lot of pressure? You can blame your hair loss on stress. Excessive physical or emotional stress can cause hair to stop growing normally and fall out two or three months later.
