Baldness and a hairy body, has it happend to you?

Question

This started happening when I was about 21. I started loosing my hair pretty good, and getting a lot of chest hair and back hair. I am now 26, and it is still getting worse. I would guess it is caused by hormones, has anyone ever gone to a doctor for something like this, and were they able to help you

Answer 1

Sounds just like me,  my tip is to get married while you still have hair bald men seem to have less luck with women.  

Answer 2

I'm 26 also..haven't experienced no hair loss...but I do got a really hairy ***

Answer 3

DHT causes hair loss on the head, and is also responsible for uniquely male characteristics all over the body. Some men convert more testosterone to DHT than others, and DHT caused follicles in the scalp to wither and eventually die. If your hair loss is aggressive but you still have some on top (at least a good covering of withering hairs) a doctor will probably prescribe minoxidil (Rogaine). Nizoral AD, a dandruff shampoo you can buy anywhere, is known to have a DHT blocking effect and can help very slightly, but unlike minoxidil it can't really re-grow hair in any capacity.

Naturopaths and health freaks often cite food allergies, and especially eating too many grains and sugar as a cause of male pattern baldness, but they claim a lot of things the medical community rejects outright so I don't know how true that it--lowering your intake of grains to include more leafy green veggies on your diet is a good idea anyway, though, so it might be worth trying in addition to rogaine. Stress not only causes temporary hair loss, acne and other health problems, it has been shown to speed up permanent male baldness.

also, anything that raises testosterone will also raise the amount that is ultimately converted to DHT--so lifting weights, eating a high-fat diet, as opposed t eating more veggies, and running will indirectly result in hair loss on the scalp, even though this has not been conclusively proven by any studies. In fact, MPB still has no real cure after centuries of people trying to understand it--you can always get a hair transplant, and laser hair removal of your body hair, but that is expensive and not natural (though to be quite honest what bald man cares if it's expensive or natural they usually just want heir hair back.)
