Why Do Men Go Bald And Women Don T
Camila Farah
Obviously its genetics or something else equally difficult to understand but i have often wondered this i know i procrastinate to much.
Women have 2 x chromosomes so even if one chromosome has a bad gene they have another roll of the dice so to speak. The cause may come from dihydrotestosterone dht which is a hormone in men. Okay so i know not all men go bald and some women go bald or at least suffer from hair loss but why is it that men have a predisposition to losing there hair with age. They go bald due to a number of reasons it could be genetics stress diet and health.
Simple but clear answers please. If men get one bad gene they have no 2nd x chromosome to carry a good gene. Women do go bald at a much lower rate than men. But why doesn t this happen to women.
Hormones are the primary factor that leads to male pattern baldness. Women go bal too men just have less options. There are also many other factors that come into play when it comes to hormonal imbalances. The reason we do is because of sex specific gene expression.

This is why the pattern of baldness is different in men and women or why men have beards and women don t. Men having premature androgenic alopecia usually have a lower amount of globulin testosterone follicle stimulating hormone fsh and epitestosterone compared to men with thicker hair. This is genetic most of the genes for going bald are on the x chromosome. So women may actually be bald but they have better resources to cover up.
Because testosterone has the biggest impact on hair loss the effects aren t as dramatic in women simply because their bodies don t have as much testosterone. The more receptors the greater the hair loss.
