Why are men more prone to hair loss than women?
From ancient times to the present, male hair loss seems to have become a normal situation. It seems that all men will face the crisis of hair loss, but it is believed that many people cannot understand female hair loss. Let's put it this way. Although female hair loss will not be bald, female hair loss is often manifested in thin hair and receding hairline. But what we want to analyze today is: why is male hair loss more common than female hair loss?
**Is it related to genes?
Research shows that men are more prone to hair loss than women, * The main reason is related to genes. Androgen exists in both men and women, but the amount is different. Androgen is an important factor affecting hair follicle development. Androgen changes are closely related to hair loss. Although androgen seems insignificant, it can really determine whether your hair is still there!
Second, who is the culprit of hair loss?
The main culprit of hair loss is DHT, that is, dihydrotestosterone, which is caused by its attack on the hair follicle. In addition, the hair follicle structure at the top of the head itself is unhealthy, and 5a reductase combines with androgen to produce dihydrotestosterone. However, the distribution of 5a reductase in each person is different, resulting in different hair loss sites. For example, if 5a reductase is mainly distributed in the forehead, there will be M-shaped hair loss in the forehead; 5a reductase is mainly distributed on the top of the head, which will cause hair loss; In women, 5a reductase is generally distributed on the top of the head, so female hair loss is mainly on the top of the head.
Third, what is the truth of the end?
The activity of 5 α reductase in male hair follicles was significantly higher than that in female hair follicles. The content of 5 α reductase in female frontal hair follicles is more than three times less than that in male hair follicles. There is also a cytochrome p450 aromatase specific in the scalp. In the outer root sheath of hair follicle, the amount of this enzyme in women is 2-5 times that in men. This aromatase can convert testosterone and androstenedione into estradiol and estrone, so women are far less likely to suffer from male hair loss than men, which is why men are more prone to hair loss than women.
