In many cases, hair loss may be caused by a combination of these factors but genetic pattern baldness is by far the most dominant factor, accounting for nearly 95% of all hair loss in men while affecting millions of women as well.  Though male pattern baldness is treatable it cannot be cured as it is genetically predetermined.

In some men, initial male-pattern hair loss may be delayed until the late third to fourth decade. It is generally recognized that men in their 20’s have a 20% incidence of male pattern baldness, in their 30’s a 30% incidence of male pattern baldness, in their 40’s a 40% incidence of male pattern baldness, etc. Click here to **[Book your consultation](https://www.dhiindia.com/book-an-appointment/)** with our expert doctors ## Related Articles [![](https://blog.dhiindia.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Best-Hair-Loss-Treatment-for-Men.webp)](https://blog.dhiindia.com/test/blog/male-hair-loss) [DHI hair transplant](https://blog.dhiindia.com/test/tag/dhi-hair-transplant) [dhi india](https://blog.dhiindia.com/test/tag/dhi-india) [DHI](https://blog.dhiindia.com/test/tag/dhi) ### [The Best Hair Loss Treatment for Men](https://blog.dhiindia.com/test/blog/male-hair-loss) It is estimated that 35 million men in the U.S are affected by male pattern baldness or Androgenetic Alopecia.”Andro” refers to androgens testosterone,...
