1. MPB [male pattern baldness/androgenic alopecia although is related to gene and male sex hormone but a skin biopsy, blood tests, or other procedures may be needed to diagnose other disorders that cause hair loss.

PS. You need to Consult a Trichologist for your hair loss to rule out any other pathology, who will make sure that you are not affected with any fungal infection of the scalp [eczema/psoriasis or seborrhea dermatitis ]
2. If a close family member has the disease, the risk of developing it is slightly increased .

3. PREVENTIVE ASPECT
i. Avoid too much exposure to sun.
ii. As you are from XXXXXXX [karnataka] thus summer season is one of the culprits; make sure you take adequate protection for the same.
iii. Avoid high extremes of temperature
iv. After bath make sure you avoid vigorous toweling of hair, let them dry naturally.
v. Make less choice for synthetic hair oils, hair coloring, bleaching, styling and use of dry blowers.
vi. Avoid excessive exposure to sun, heat, wind, dust, anger, stress, anxiety,
vii. Avoid oily, fried, spicy, hot, fermented and stale food.
viii. Proteins are essential for antibodies production so milk, egg (white), beans, yogurt, soymilk, pumpkin, squash,watermelon,peanuts,almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices .
ix. XXXXXXX carrots, cantaloupe, egg yolk, apricots, pumpkin, papaya, are ideal
x. Vitamin C: is needed for proper functioning of immune system: amla is good option.
xi. Vitamin E: is a powerful anti oxidant thus peanuts, dried apricots, cooked spinach taro root can be taken
xii. Soap nut (reetha) and shikakai along with Bhringraj and Neelini oil acts as natural conditioner and XXXXXXX you can use it safely.

4. Initially one can start with Immunomodulation [Rasayan Chikitsa] Treatment and later restore to non- surgical hair replacement [if hair loss is psychologically traumatic and some people may have a poorer outcome with Conservative line of treatment]

Do revert back for any concern.

PS. cost will depend upon the number of viable hair follicles and if the hair loss is still progressive then PRP [platelet rich plasma] is better option since it is prepared from your own blood and then injected on your scalp with good results. For the said procedure kindly search a good plastic surgeon or Dermatologist around your area.

Since my sister in law lived in XXXXXXX few years ago, I can recall she use to tell me that 'Goenka Skin Clinic & Hair Transplant Center, is one of the best and most affordable center for Dermatology, Cosmetology and Hair Transplant, you may contact them for further necesary follow up.
