Male pattern baldness is caused by a combination of hormonal and genetic factors and it relates to an androgen hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Raised levels of DHT in hair follicles can result in a shorter growth cycle and cause hairs to be thinner and shorter. The follicles can also remain in the resting phase for longer time periods.
There are other causes of hair loss too, for example, illness, physical trauma, extreme stress or chemotherapy.
Hair loss caused by an illness, trauma, stress or medication will usually stop and the hair will regrow once you have recovered.
However, male pattern baldness does not reverse by itself in this way. Fortunately, there are effective treatments you can take that can help to slow the loss of hair and stimulate regrowth.
For example, finasteride is taken as a daily tablet and it has been shown to work for 90 per cent of men when used continuously, stopping hair loss and in some cases encouraging regrowth.
