HAIR LOSS ADVICE
Male pattern hair loss
Understand the common pattern, the hair cycle and when to seek advice.
Recognising the pattern
Male pattern hair loss often develops gradually at the temples and crown. Follicles become smaller and produce finer hairs. Family history can be relevant, but a clinician should consider the pattern and other possible causes.
Why the cause matters
Illness, stress, medicines, nutritional problems and scalp conditions can also affect hair. Sudden or patchy loss is different from a gradual pattern and deserves assessment.
Your options
The most useful next step is a clear diagnosis and a discussion of the benefits, risks and effort of treatment. Capsule and topical routines have different considerations. No treatment works for everyone.
Look after your wellbeing
Hair loss can affect confidence. Tell your clinician how it affects you and seek support when it is causing distress.
General information: NHS hair loss guidance. Your clinical assessment and patient leaflet take priority for treatment decisions.
