The Most Frequent Cause of Hair Loss - Androgenetic Alopecia

Androgenetic Alopecia affects both men and women and it is genetically determined and generally becomes visible in men at an age of 20 while in women at an age of 30 onwards. It happens because of the hormonal changes during woman’s life. The institution or discontinuation of contraceptive pills can cause hormonal changes leading to Androgenetic Alopecia. Women rarely go bald and the end result of Androgenetic Alopecia is a visible decrease in density of hair. This condition can go worse because of iron deficiency or low thyroid activity leading to further thinning of the hair. Hair growth has three phases: anagen (the growth phase), catagen (the regressing phase) and telogen (the resting or quiescent phase).

Androgenetic Alopecia affects the hair cycle of the scalp in both men and women. It affects the percentage of hairs in Anagen phase and the duration of Anagen diminishes in areas affected by Androgenetic alopecia which results in shorter hairs. Influence of androgens causes the follicles in the temporal, frontal and vertex area of the scalp to show a shortening of the Anagen phase, followed by miniaturization of the hair follicles.

Because of the influence of androgens, the follicles in the temporal, frontal and vertex area of the scalp progressively show a shortening of the Anagen phase, accompanied by miniaturization of the hair follicles. A greater proportion of hair on the scalp enters into telogen phase leading to accumulating loss. It affects the percentage of hairs in Anagen phase and the duration of Anagen diminishes in areas affected by Androgenetic Alopecia which results in shorter hairs.

When it occurs among the male population, it is known as male-pattern baldness. It may begin at any time after puberty and it happens when serum androgen levels raise above the low level found in young boys. Although it is difficult to predict the pattern of hair loss in young men, it is proven that men losing hair in their early 20s will lose their hair most extensively if it is because of alopecia. Hair is lost in a well-defined pattern in some men, beginning above both temples. Over the course of time, the hairline recedes to form a characteristic "M" shape. Hair also thins at the crown, often progressing to partial or complete baldness. The condition is associated with several medical conditions including coronary heart disease and enlargement of the prostate, as well as disorders of insulin resistance, like diabetes and obesity and high blood pressure (hypertension).
