Male Pattern Baldness, medically known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss in men. It is usually hereditary and progresses over time, starting with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown.

Causes:
    •    Genetic predisposition
    •    Hormonal changes (DHT sensitivity)
    •    Aging
    •    Stress or poor lifestyle (may accelerate loss)

Stages (Norwood Scale):
    •    Stage 1: Minimal hair loss
    •    Stage 2: Receding hairline at temples
    •    Stage 3: Visible thinning on crown
    •    Stage 4–5: Deep recession and bald patches
    •    Stage 6–7: Extensive baldness

Symptoms:
    •    Gradual hair thinning
    •    Hairline moving backwards
    •    Patchy bald spots
    •    Increased hair shedding

Treatment Options:
    •    PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
    •    Hair Transplant (FUE/FUT methods)
    •    Minoxidil or Finasteride
    •    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
    •    Hair Thickening Serums
    •    Scalp Micropigmentation (for cosmetic fill)

Early diagnosis and consistent treatment can help slow down hair loss and improve density.
