The most common type of baldness in men is known as male pattern baldness. With this type of hair loss, men will experience hair loss at the temples and the crown of the head. Male pattern baldness can occur at any age, however this process mostly starts among men in their 30s.

What are the causes of male pattern baldness?

The fundamental causes of male pattern baldness is considered to be hereditary. The gene may pass from one generation to another. Pattern baldness occurs in men who have excess of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which forms bald patches on the head.

Some of the reversible causes of hair loss in men include iron deficiency, also known as anaemia. It can also occur due to under active thyroid, fungal scalp infection, and excessive stress. Male baldness can also occur due to intake of some prescribed drugs.

How to cure baldness?

If the baldness is due to reversible causes, then you can easily cure it by treating the cause, however for that you need to do a consultation with a doctor who can suggest the right remedy. For example, you can easily treat hair loss due to anaemia by making up for the deficiency of iron in the body.
If your problem is male pattern baldness, then also you should see a doctor who can suggest the treatment. The doctor can diagnose the exact cause of your baldness and see if it’s not due to any medical condition or any other cause.

Among treatments, some people opt for wigs or a hair transplant, which is considered as the most direct form of treatment. Some people may also take herbal supplements that contain zinc, magnesium, iron, vitamin E in various combinations to treat the reversible causes of baldness.
Some people may opt for prescribed drug treatment for pattern baldness. Propecia is the latest treatment that is considered quite effective. It not only stops the hair loss but can also result in new hair growth, however it should not be taken without the consent of a registered medical doctor.
Prescribed drugs often result in some undesirable side effects, so Propecia is no exception and can cause complications, if it’s unsuitable for you.
