Hair loss is a common concern among men, with the most prevalent cause being androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. This hereditary condition affects up to 50% of men by age 50. Male pattern baldness typically follows a distinct pattern, starting with receding hair at the temples and thinning at the crown. For many men, this leads to a noticeable change in appearance over time, often influenced by both genetic factors and hormonal sensitivity to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone).
