Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I have gone through your query regarding hair fall.

Hair fall in males can be due to various causes.
The common ones being androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata in males.
Hair fall can also be secondary to underlying scalp conditions e.g lichen planus, discoid lupus erythematosus, pseudopelade etc.

I would like to gather more information from you in order to be able to guide you better.

-How long since you started noticing hair fall? How severe it is? 100 per day?

-Is it diffuse or patchy?

-Does it involve mainly the front and crown part of the scalp, sparing the sides?

-Is there a family history of baldness?

-Do you notice that your anterior hair line has receded over the years and do you notice that angles of anterior hair line have become wider and deeper?

-Do you have any scalp lesion like scaly papules, dandruff etc?

- Can you upload a few Images depicting the severity and pattern of hair loss? Click a few Images from front, top and from the sides.

Brief Answer:
Causes of hair loss are more or less similar in males and females with few differences

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Causes are more or less the same in both sexes except for a few differences:

Telogen effluvium is more common in females whereas Androgenetic alopecia is more common in males.

Androgenetic alopecia is characterized by hair loss and thinning mainly from frontal scalp and crown in both sexes.

In males, androgenetic alopecia is also associated with receding anterior hair line and widening/ deepening of angles of anterior hair line i.e it has a "pattern" to it, whereas in females with androgenetic alpecia, anterior hair line is more or less unchanged and scalp is mostly covered, but the common complaint in females with androgenetic alopecia is that hair is thinner/ finer and does not grow to same lengths as before.

There is often a family history in androgenetic alopecia (either in first degree relatives or in cousins, nephews/ nieces etc) .




I would like to gather more information from you in order to be able to guide you better.

-How long since you started noticing hair fall? How severe it is? less than 50, 50-100 strands per day Or more?

-Is hair fall diffuse or patchy? Are there any bald patches?

-Does it involve mainly the front and crown part of the scalp i.e center part of scalp?

-Is there a family history?

-Do you have any scalp lesion like itching, scaly scalp lesions etc?

-Can you upload a few Images so that I can have a better idea regarding the severity and "pattern" of hair loss. They would certainly help.
