How can you know for sure that the hair loss you are experiencing is MALE PATTERN BALDNESS?

and not another cause for the hair shedding?How can you know for sure that the hair loss you are experiencing is MALE PATTERN BALDNESS?
If you are experiencing excessive shedding fairly evenly from all over your scalp it is not mpb. Male pattern baldness does not cause excessive shedding. With male pattern baldness you will notice hair in certain areas becoming thinner and weaker, providing less scalp coverage but you will not see hairs falling out all over the place. Essential oil scalp massage can help mpb in the early stages and can help most other types of hair loss.How can you know for sure that the hair loss you are experiencing is MALE PATTERN BALDNESS?
Hi there! Here is some great information that I found that I thought would answer your question:





Most men are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. It is the effect of hormones on the hair follicle that produces male pattern baldness. Testosterone, a hormone that is present in high levels in males after puberty, is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT has an adverse affect on the hair follicles. Acting on a hormone receptor on the hair follicle it slows down hair production and produces weak, shorter hair, sometimes it stops hair growth from the follicle completely. This process gradually depletes your stock of hair and is normal hair loss.





Let me know if this information was helpful or not! :)
Typically the shedding is due to situations in life that you can pin point. I.e. long illness, stress, surgery, etc. You would know if it was mere shedding.





Male pattern or common baldness is an excessive loss of hair due to genetics. If this has been a recurring problem for a while, I suggest talking to a doc about it. Worst case, you can catch it early enough to use a shampoo to minimize it. Free trial in the one below. Take care and best of luck.
