Three Hair Loss Myths Debunked | Dr Somji Explains

Both men and women develop this type of hair loss, which is the most common cause of hair loss worldwide. In men, it’s called male pattern hair loss. Women get female pattern hair loss. Regardless of whether it develops in a man or women, the medical term is androgenic alopecia.

No matter which term you use, it means that you’ve inherited genes that cause your hair follicles (what each hair grows out of) to shrink and eventually stop growing hair. Shrinking can begin as early as your teens, but it usually starts later in life.

In women, the first noticeable sign of hereditary hair loss is usually overall thinning or a widening part.

When a man has hereditary hair loss, the first sign is often a receding hairline or bald spot at the top of his head.

Traction alopecia can also be caused by tight hair styles. Just look at Olympic synchronized swimmers. They all have extreme recession of their hair lines.

I had 4 surgeries and thyroid cancer last yr and now this yr I've been really sick since February with intestinal issues that they are still trying to resolve. My hair is getting thinner and thinner and I can't afford all that fancy expensive rogain type stuff, what can you recommend? I don't wash it often as I'm usually to weak to shower and since it exhausts me so much I only do it once a week to every couple of weeks. Yes I know how gross that sounds and I do wipes myself down best I can. I'm 47 and this illness has made me feel so self conscious to go out in public as it is and now the almost handfuls of hair loss it's just to embarrassing.

Thank you for this. As a transgender man, there is a lot of speculation as to wether the maternal side or both contribute to hair loss.
