Treatment of male pattern baldness - an integrated approach for maximum results

Men most often face the problem of baldness after 50 years, however, hair loss in the stronger sex can also be observed at an earlier age, starting at 18 years. When symptoms of alopecia appear, it is very important to seek the help of a specialist in time to prevent further hair loss. There are various types of alopecia that can lead to hair loss not only on the head, but also on other parts of the body.  For effective treatment of male pattern baldness, it is necessary to determine the type of alopecia and its causes.

Causes of male pattern baldness and types of alopecia

1. Androgenetic alopecia. It is worth noting that this type of baldness in men occurs most often (about 90% of cases). This type of alopecia is also called hereditary, since genetic predisposition is often the main factor influencing its development. The reason for this baldness is the increased sensitivity of hair follicles to dihydrotestosterone – male sex hormone. As a rule, such alopecia begins to appear in the form of bald patches near the temples, forehead, after which bald patches appear on the crown of the head. As the disease progresses, all of the above bald patches form one large area not covered with hair.
2. Diffuse alopecia. This type of male pattern baldness is characterized by relatively uniform hair loss over the entire head. Diffuse alopecia is also characterized by weakening and brittle hair. Among the causes of such baldness are:

• constant stress;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• thyroid diseases;
• skin diseases;
• Nutritional deficiencies due to malnutrition or rigid diets, etc. 

3. Focal (alopecia areata). This type of baldness in men is characterized by hair loss, which results in the formation of foci of baldness. They can appear on any hairy part of the body. The reasons for this type of baldness can be:

• autoimmune diseases;
• infections;
• injuries;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system;
• stress.

4. Scarring alopecia. This form of alopecia is the least common. It is characterized by the resolution of hair follicles and the formation of scar tissue as a result of physical trauma and various infections.                                                                                                                   & nbsp;                                                                                                                                                           & nbsp;
