Most male alopecia patients have family history, and fathers or other male members of the family often suffer from male alopecia. Therefore, genetic factors play a very important role in male pattern alopecia.

It is generally believed that the androgen level of male alopecia patients may be normal, but due to genetic factors, the sensitivity of hair to the biological effects of androgen is increased. Testosterone is the main androgen. In tissues, testosterone can be converted into dihydrotestosterone under the action of enzymes.

Dihydrotestosterone can destroy the growth cycle of hair, shorten the long-term time of hair occurrence, accelerate hair loss, and make the number of hair falling off every day exceed the normal average. It was found that the level of dihydrotestosterone in scalp of male patients with alopecia increased. Therefore, it is considered that dihydrotestosterone is the chief culprit of male pattern alopecia. Of course, there are also animal mental factors, dietary factors and so on.

Extended data:

The treatment of alopecia should be based on the cause. For alopecia areata and other mental baldness, it can be supplemented with hair restorer or hair care therapy under the condition of improving mental state. For androgenetic alopecia, it can be treated orally and externally, and for alopecia lacking nutrition, attention should be paid to adjusting the diet structure.

In addition, TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation also has a good effect on alopecia. Pay attention to the health care of your hair, dye your hair too often, comb your hair too hard, eat less greasy or irritating food, and choose the right shampoo and hair care products according to your hair quality.
