Hair loss in men, also called male pattern baldness, is a common condition that usually develops gradually with age. It often begins with a receding hairline or thinning hair on the top of the head.
The condition is mainly caused by genetics and male hormones. Stress, poor nutrition, certain illnesses, and some medicines may also contribute to hair loss.
Although it is not harmful to physical health, hair loss can affect confidence and self-esteem. Treatment options include medicated lotions, tablets, lifestyle changes, and hair transplant procedures. Early treatment may help slow down further hair loss.
