The causes of male pattern baldness have been analysed by many leading doctors and hair specialists and there are also a number of theories. Some theories make the suggestion that male pattern baldness is a result of male pattern baldness. This theory follows that bald men are more virile and that bald men are more sexually active than men with full heads of hair.

There is of course not comprehensive and indisputable evidence to support this but nevertheless scientists have made links between the levels of testosterone and the extent of hair loss. High DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and testosterone levels have been found to have a significant impact on hair loss. But all is not to despair for the balding male. Indeed in primate species being bald is seen as an indication of status and bald Gorillas are much more successful with the female Gorillas than those with full heads of hair. Indeed those with more hair struggle to find sexual partners as easily. There are many causes of hair loss that can contribute to the loss of hair. Some of these are as follows;

Trichotillomania

The title given to the condition when people compulsively pull out their own hair is Trichotillomania. It is classified by specialists as an impulse control disorder in which the sufferer feels a compulsion to pull out their own hair. This can be hair on all parts of the body. It can occur to facial hair, eyebrows, nose hair, pubic hair and of course hair from the scalp. It can result in very noticeable loss of hair and sufferers often exhibit patches of bald skin which in turn can be unsightly.

The condition has been found in people of all ages including people between the ages of twelve and seventy. The prognosis for this type of hair loss is good as long as the underlying psychological problem is resolved. Often although the hairs are not visible they are still there and they have been broken by the pulling but not necessarily pull out. This means that they can grow back if they are allowed to.

Radiation

Hair loss can be caused by radiation. This can be as a result of a number of different factors but ordinarily radiation occurs as a result of treatment for diseases such as cancer. Many people suffer hair loss as a result of this type of treatment but fortunately the prognosis for this type of hair loss is also good. Once therapy has been stopped the hair grows back. It can achieve the levels of growth that were achieved before radiation therapy although it can be quite irritating whilst the therapy is in process.

Fungal Infections

Fungal infections can cause hair loss. These types of hair loss usually begin from a contact with a yeast or a fungus that causes irritation and itchiness. The arrear that is itchy can become bald and turn red and weep. Fortunately once treatment has been administered the hair can re-grow on the damaged areas. This type of hair loss occurs a lot with young children and can be extremely irritating. Fortunately it is treatable.
