Inherited Male Pattern Baldness
Inherited Male Pattern Baldness
The disorder that has long been known as inherited male pattern
baldness has been discovered to be a misnomer. In fact, women actually
experience this type of baldness in greater numbers earlier than men. The
reason that it has largely been known as inherited male baldness is because
the pattern that it takes in women is not as readily apparent as men experience.
Women tend to have a more general thinning of the hair and not as often
do they experience the bald patches that are seen in inherited male baldness.
Androgenetic alopecia the real disorder known as inherited
male baldness
This disorder affects both men and women all across the globe
equally after the age of 50 years. What happens is that there is an excess
of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone or DHT in those that suffer from
inherited male baldness. This occurs in women in conjunction with their
menopausal years as the estrogen in their systems diminishes and allows
them to be adversely affected by the presence of DHT. In men, the balance
of testosterone that is altered to become DHT climbs. The effect that DHT
has on scalp hair is that is causes hair follicles to become smaller, causing
the hairs to diminish in diameter and growing cycle until the follicles
stop producing hair altogether.
Who is inherited male baldness inherited from?
For many years it has been believed that inherited male baldness
was inherited from the mother. More recently it has been discovered that
inherited male baldness is no more frequently contributed to by the mother's
genes than the father's. It is also not true that if both parents show
signs of inherited male baldness that the baldness experienced by their
offspring will be more certain or severe than any other person.
