Why Do Men Go Bald?
My husband isn't very old, so why is he going bald?
Doctor's answer (1)
Male pattern baldness, medically known as male-pattern alopecia or androgenetic alopecia, is primarily caused by heredity, the effects of male hormones, excessive mental stress, and unhealthy lifestyle habits.
1. Heredity
Heredity is one of the main causes of baldness. If there is a family history of baldness, the likelihood of subsequent generations experiencing hair loss increases accordingly.
2. Influence of male hormones
The male hormone testosterone can shrink hair follicles, making hair thinner, weaker, and shorter, ultimately leading to baldness. As men age, changes in their levels of male hormones further exacerbate this process.
3. Excessive mental stress
Long-term emotional tension may inhibit hair growth and accelerate hair loss.
4. Unhealthy lifestyle habits
Excessive sexual activity, staying up late, and a preference for spicy or greasy foods may also negatively affect hair and worsen hair loss.
It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced diet, reduce stress, and avoid harmful chemicals to slow down the progression of hair loss.
