How is Male Pattern Baldness Diagnosed and How Does it Influence Hair Loss?
Male pattern baldness typically involves hair thinning that starts at the hairline and crown. This condition is strongly influenced by hereditary factors, with hormones also playing a key role in its onset and progression as a common type of hair loss.
Stages of Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is commonly assessed using the Hamilton-Norwood scale, which spans from stage 1, with minimal hair loss, to stage 7, characterized by complete baldness on the top of the head.
Stages 1 to 3 typically involve mild to moderate hairline recession.
By stages 4 and 5, the hairline recedes further, and thinning at the crown becomes more noticeable. Stages 6 and 7 mark full baldness at the scalp’s top.
Rare cases may present as diffuse thinning across the entire scalp with an intact hairline or as isolated crown thinning without significant hairline recession. These variations highlight the scale’s adaptability in describing baldness patterns.
