Over time, these areas may expand and eventually lead to partial or complete baldness on the top of the head. While it\u2019s not a medical concern, it can affect self-esteem and confidence. It usually develops slowly over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why does hair loss occur?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Hair loss <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can be temporary for some people and it grows naturally with time. It can be due to aging, monsoon change, hormonal imbalance, stress, food indigestion, etc. But for people, hair loss has become a major problem. If we compare, hair loss is more frequent in men than women. Hair follicles (structures responsible for hair growth) in males become sensitive and it affects the areas of the scalp and develop a much shorter growth phase. That\u2019s why the hair might shed in a matter of weeks or months, rather than over several years. The hair becomes shorter and finer because of fewer hair growing from each follicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Signs Related to male pattern baldness<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, shows a distinct set of signs that typically worsen gradually over time.
