Baldness

The condition of loss of hair in humans is medically termed as Alopecia, commonly called Baldness?. Alopecia occurs in various forms such as Alopecia areata which means patchy baldness, male pattern or complete baldness.

Male pattern baldness is the most commonly occurring form of Alopecia and largely affects males. The hairs become thinner and the roots or hair follicles turn weaker.

This results in the process of patchy hair loss from the crown or circumference of head and in a later stage a complete baldness or Alopecia occurs.

Causes of Baldness

The main cause of baldness as per medical research is genetic or hereditary. The hormonal changes are responsible for baldness. The male hormone DHT or dihydro-testosterone is the main factor that causes baldness in males.

Even some of the detergent based or chemical shampoos, hair conditioners or styling hair gels affects the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss to a certain extent.

In females, testosterone is absent hence there are very rare cases of hair loss or baldness. The use of Propecia by females is strictly prohibited.
