In today's time, the problem of baldness is common in men, it is also known as androgenic alopecia. In such a situation, men's hair starts falling. This problem occurs due to genetic or hormonal changes. Its primary cause is thought to be a combination of genetic predisposition and the effects of hormones, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The DHT hormone binds to receptors in the hair follicles. In genetically predisposed individuals, DHT can cause hair follicles to shrink, weakening them and causing hair thinning and loss. Although genetics play an important role, there are many other factors that can cause baldness. Let's know about all those factors

The main cause of baldness in men

Medications – Medications used to treat cancer, high blood pressure, depression, and arthritis can cause hair loss as a side effect. In such cases, it is important to talk to a doctor about the risks of hair loss before starting any medication. So that hair fall can be stopped in time.

Hormonal imbalance – As mentioned earlier, hormonal imbalance, especially excess DHT, can be a major cause of male pattern baldness. This imbalance in hormones may be due to thyroid or hormonal therapy. In such a situation, the problem of hair loss can be avoided by treating it with hormones.

Age – As men age, hair loss occurs due to a gradual decline in testosterone levels. Although this factor cannot be avoided, taking care of overall health and using specially designed hair care products can help reduce the amount of hair fall.

Nutrient deficiencies – Poor nutrition, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, can cause hair loss. A balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, D, E, biotin, and iron can help with hair growth and reduce the risk of baldness.

Stress – Stress can disrupt the normal growth cycle of hair, leading to hair fall. Managing stress through relaxation techniques and exercise can prevent hair loss.

Medical conditions – Many medical conditions and their treatments such as autoimmune diseases, scalp infections, and chemotherapy can cause hair loss.

Smoking- Smoking not only increases the risk of hair loss but also has negative effects on blood circulation and hair follicles. Quitting smoking not only improves overall health but also reduces the risk of baldness.
