Common causes of hair loss in men
- Genetics (Androgenic Baldness)
Androgenic baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Due to a genetic predisposition, hair follicles become sensitive to androgenic hormones, resulting in thinner strands and a progressive reduction in hair density.
- Hormonal imbalances
Changes in hormone levels, especially DHT (dihydrotestosterone), can accelerate hair loss by shortening the hair growth cycle.
- Nutritional Deficiencies
Lack of essential nutrients such as iron, zinc and B vitamins can weaken hair and promote hair loss.
- Stress
Physical and emotional stress can cause telogen effluvium, where many hairs prematurely enter the resting phase and fall out simultaneously.
- Diseases and medical conditions
Autoimmune conditions, such as alopecia areata, and diseases such as thyroiditis can cause hair loss.
