Started losing my hair at 20: Here's how I conquered Male Pattern Baldness
I was worried when I saw a few extra hair on my pillow in the morning. At first, I thought that it’s just common hair loss. I was 20-years-old and no one in my family, except for one uncle, was bald. I thought perhaps my dandruff was causing my hair to fall out. And so began two years of denial. I tried everything. I started drinking green tea and working out more. I tried meditation and other stress-busting activities. I even changed shampoos multiple times. All of this led nowhere! And so, I made an appointment with my homeopath. I was shocked to find out that I’m having male pattern baldness.
Read on to know about the common reasons for male pattern baldness and how homeopathy helps to treat it.
Common reasons
The reason for male pattern baldness is when three main factors interact: genetics, age, and hormones. Male pattern baldness happens as hormone levels change over the course of your life. Hereditary factors also affect the probability of male pattern baldness. These factors contribute to the gradual shrinkage of the tiny cavities in the skin at the base of hair, known as scalp hair follicles. Hair grows progressively shorter and finer until no new hair grow. And if you’ve first- and second-degree relatives who have male pattern baldness, then you have a higher chance of having male pattern baldness.
Male pattern baldness has been linked to prostate cancer, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure or hypertension. It can occur as a reaction to stress or after an illness or major surgery or as a side effect of some medications. Male pattern baldness can also indicate a health condition such as lupus, a fungal infection or a thyroid problem.

Other possible causes include the following.
- Iron deficiency
- Excess vitamin A
- Severe chronic illness like diabetes
- Malnutrition
Anyone who is concerned that hair loss might be a symptom of a health condition, I strongly suggest to book an appointment and visit your nearest homeopathy clinic.
Diagnosis
Male pattern baldness is typically diagnosed based on the appearance and pattern of hair loss. Also, a detailed medical history including questions about the prevalence of hair loss in your family is also assessed. Dr Batra’s® examine the scalp under magnification in order to assess the degree of miniaturisation of hair follicles. Their homeopaths conduct a painless video-microscopy test, which magnifies the hair follicle and scalp up to 200 times. This test will show the following:
- The thickness of hair strands
- Density
- Condition of hair strands
- Diagnosis of hair conditions
- Condition of the scalp
Homeopathy treatment
Male pattern baldness is a condition that requires a tailored tactic to the cure. So, I booked an appointment with the expert homeopaths at Dr Batra’s®. The selection of male pattern baldness cure at Dr Batra’s® is based on the extent of hair loss, the grade of baldness as well as the condition of the hair and scalp. I reported the complaints of hair loss like receding hairline from both the temples. And I had no history of any infections of the scalp or any other illness in the past. After the careful diagnosis of male pattern baldness, they prescribed homeopathic medicine. This is how I conquered female pattern baldness.
Taking homeopathy treatment helped my hair to start growing well. I can definitely assure you that homeopathy treatment is effective and harmless. Homeopathy treats male pattern baldness giving a long-standing and established result as it treats after properly evaluating your detailed case history. Homeopathic medicine is useful for blood circulation as well as hair growth.
