Male pattern hair loss is caused by DHT, an androgenic steroid. DHT has an important role in the formation of the male organ in the womb and in the change of voice and body structure during puberty.

The hair of men who are sensitive to DHT begins to fall out in their 20s and 30s, and by the 50s, it results in baldness of the affected areas. In this type of hair loss, the hairline in the front begins to recede and thinning of the hair in the crown area is noticed. This is called androgenetic alopecia. On the contrary, people who do not have sensitivity can protect their hair from this condition until a very advanced age. Medications can be taken under the supervision of a doctor to partially stop the progression of male pattern hair loss. However, it is not possible for the hair to grow again with medication or natural methods.
