Hair loss (alopecia) is a common issue that affects both men and women. The most common cause of hair loss in men is male patterned baldness. This is also known as androgenetic alopecia. Androgenetic alopecia can also be present in women. This form of hair loss affects half of all men by the age of 50. In some men it can start around the age of 20, and tends to be hereditary. Although male patterned baldness is not medically harmful, it can be a distressing and difficult issue to deal with.
In this type of hair loss there is typically:
Male patterned baldness occurs because the hair follicles on the head react to the male hormone testosterone, and convert to another hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The causes the hair follicles to shrink and not function properly, which results in hair loss.
Hair loss can have immunological causes (known as alopecia areata). This is when patches of hair begin to fall out, due to the immune system attacking the hair follicles. In severe cases, it can affect the whole scalp. This type of hair loss is more common in women than in men. Hair loss can also be temporary, which can be caused by stress, weight loss, cancer treatment and vitamin deficiency.
Yes, stress can lead to hair loss. It can cause several types of hair loss, such as telogen effluvium, where hair shifts faster than average from its growing phase into the resting phase before falling out. Managing stress and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help minimise its impact on your hair.
It is important to distinguish the underlying cause of the hair loss in order to treat it. Temporary hair loss may have to be treated differently, or in some cases may not need any treatment.
There is no cure androgenetic alopecia, nor is it preventable. However, there are a number of treatment options available that can minimise further hair loss, and may cause new hair to grow.
There are two treatment options suitable for androgenetic alopecia– Finasteride 1mg tablets (brand name Propecia) and Minoxidil (brand name Regaine).
Finasteride can have side effects which are commonly decreased sex drive, ejaculation and erection issues, breast tenderness and skin rashes.
Finasteride is not suitable for:
Possible side effects of Minoxidil/Regaine are an initial increase in hair loss, skin irritation and increase in facial hair.
Minoxidil/Regaine is not recommended for severe hair loss.
