can balding at a young age be cause of a disease or genetics?

although there are other reasons for it such as stress, diet and nutrition... baldness is mainly hereditary and is a sex-influenced trait, wherein the gene acts differently in the two sexes. males only need one copy of the gene to express baldness, while women need two copies of the gene to exhibit baldness... which is why there are more male bald people.\n\nwhatever the cause of your baldness, have it checked out. there might be possible solutions for it that can be available to you...

Your hair loss could be a hormone problem.

When I was about 28, I started getting tired easily, I lost the shine of youth from my face and I saw the first white hair on my head. I had lots of problems at that time and I think it contributed to that, I am lucky though that I look young, but I do not feel so!

Simply that baldness is a sign of virility and acne is a sign of worry.  There may be other assumed conditions that apply, but I see that your looking for the simple answer.

No, it is not true.  Male pattern baldness is solely caused by a gene you get from your mother's side of the family.  My brothers and I all have it, and my maternal grandfather did, too.  My Paternal grandfather did not.

I'm afraid that is inevitable especially if it is in your genes.  Of course you can always try delaying the inevitable by avoiding situations which cause hair loss such as too much stress and by using topical treatments such as rogaine or even dabbing aloe vera on your scalp regularly.

Baldness (in men) is hereditary. If you have light colored hair,then the baldness shows much more obvious. If you like,try dyeing your hair a darker color,but it should be professionally done,to prevent dyeing the scalp. Then comb or brush your hair lightly,into places where baldness occurs. Try a hair pomade,to slick it down,but not to make it look greasy,or shiny. (Pro) There is a hair product called "Rogaine",that can be used for baldness,but It takes a while for it to work. (Con) Once you start using Rogaine,you'll have to keep using it,because the hair only grows while it's used. If all fails,then the best thing I can think of,is to shave it. (Note) Lots of ladies,like bald guys!

It may just be male pattern baldness and in may be inherrited.....I know that my dad lost his hair around his mid 30's and I am starting to see that all of it is falling out.. I am waiting to see what happens to mine......well take care and always remember that, no matter what happens on the top of your head, when your pubic hair starts falling out, then you have a real problem...........

Stress CAN cause hair loss.  Been there.  So can: hereditary hair loss (female pattern baldness), anesthesia, medicines, thyroid dysfunction. Ask a pharmacist or health food store which supplements are the best.  I have used multivitamin, B-complex. Zinc and B6 are good also.  Have your Dr. also advise you.

Normal Hair Loss\nThere are a number of reasons why men start to go bald, but if you are a man between the ages of about 20 to 45 and you start to lose scalp hair, then the chances are 95 per cent certain that you are experiencing male pattern baldness. As the term suggests, male pattern baldness follows a typical sequence or pattern. \n\nSponsored Links\nHair Loss Chart\nRanking of the top hair loss products for 2006!\nwww.Hair-Loss-Report.com\n\nTips for Fixing Hair Loss\nSee how I did it. 92% success. Before/After pics. Men/women.\nRestorationHair.com\n\nHair Loss Product Reviews\nRanking and reviews of the top 4 hair loss treatments available!\nwww.Hair-Loss-Study.com\nHair loss can start in different areas but is usually at the temples and/or on the crown of the head. Initial thinning of hair progresses over a number of years and may lead to total baldness but more typically loss of hair over the top surface of the head.\nThe Cause of Male Pattern Baldness\nMost men are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. It is the effect of hormones on the hair follicle that produces male pattern baldness. Testosterone, a hormone that is present in high levels in males after puberty, is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT has an adverse affect on the hair follicles. Acting on a hormone receptor on the hair follicle it slows down hair production and produces weak, shorter hair, sometimes it stops hair growth from the follicle completely. This process gradually depletes your stock of hair and is normal hair loss.\n\nHair loss, Illness or Disease\nGo to your doctor if:\nYou lose hair suddenly, if your hair loss is in clumps or significant enough that you notice large amounts on your pillow, covering the back of your clothes or when you wash your hair. This type of hair loss does not represent typical male baldness, but it does require a diagnosis. Don't worry

Male pattern baldness, also known by its uglier and scarier clinical name androgenetic alopecia , is caused by some really funky chemistry on your scalp. It starts with testosterone, the male sex hormone. Harmless on its own, testosterone gets converted to the dicey dihydrotestosterone (DHT) when in contact with oil glands in the hair follicles. These glands hold the enzyme Type II 5-alpha reductase.  DHT, in turn, gets in your scalp follicles and shrinks them. At the same time, it makes the protective membrane of the scalp thicken, restricting blood flow to the capillaries. This makes further hair growth impossible. The hairs fall out at a natural rate, but aren't replaced. And that's it in a nutshell. \n\nPRODUCTS:\nFinasteride (Propecia)\nFinasteride, produced by Merck and Company under the name Propecia, was approved by the FDA in December 1997, as a treatment for male pattern baldness. It is the first drug available in pill form for the treatment of baldness.\nIn men with mild to moderate hair loss, clinical trials showed that 83 percent of the male patients had kept their hair or grown more after one year of treatment. Propecia (finasteride) works by blocking an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for the formation of dihydro-testosterone in a man's body. The enzyme converts testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It is believed that DHT is a key factor in male pattern hair loss, and finasteride decreases the concentration of DHT in a man's scalp by about two-thirds.\n\nminoxidil (Rogaine):\nMinoxidil, a drug produced by Upjohn under the name of Rogaine, has been available since 1988 for the treatment of hair loss. It is currently available as an over-the-counter drug. \nMinoxidil is topical solution that must be applied by applicator or fingers to the balding area twice a day, every day. Decreasing the dosage to once a day results in some hair loss, and discontinuing application causes regression to pretreatment baldness within 3 to 6 weeks. It can take 4 to 12 months to see results.\nAccording to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), clinical studies show that 26 percent of men between 18 and 49 reported moderate to dense hair regrowth after four months of Rogaine treatment. An additional 33 percent had minimal hair regrowth. Almost 20 percent of women between 18 and 45 had moderate regrowth, while an additional 40 percent showed minimal regrowth.\n\n\nSurgical hair replacement:\nWhen experiencing thinning hair or baldness, men (and some women) consider hair transplantation, a permanent form of hair replacement. Anyone who has permanent hair loss may be a candidate for hair transplantation, including:\nmen with male pattern baldness \nsome women with thinning hair \npersons who have lost hair as a result of burns or other scarring injuries to the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes.\n\nTypes of hair replacement surgery:\nThere are a number of techniques used in hair replacement surgery. Sometimes two or more techniques are used to achieve the best results.\npunch grafts - usually contain about 10-15 hairs \nmini-grafts - contain about 2 to 4 hairs \nmicro-grafts - contain 1 to 2 hairs \nslit grafts - contain about 4 to10 hairs each \nstrip grafts - contain 30-40 hairs\n\n\nGood luck!

A number of neurodegenerative diseases occur at around this age, such as the hereditary form of Alzheimer's Disease.  In non-disease people, production of amyloid beta begins in the 30's usually, and generally increases with age.  In the case of HD, the cause is a trinucleotide repeat (CAG).  The time of onset and rate of progression are closely correlated to the number of repeats, with greater numbers of repeats causing earlier onset and more rapid progression.  As far as why it generally comes on at this age (and why other proteins begin appearing, such as amyloid beta), this is likely due to programmed age-dependent gene expression.  In other words, the body continues to change over time due to differential protein expression through your whole life-Its most dramatic during puberty, but it continues at a lesser rate regardless.  It's why our hair turns gray or falls out, why our metabolism changes, etc etc- The proteins that cause these diseases, such as HD, are likely regulated by these age-dependent events, so that at around middle age, some normal aging gene is activated (that would, for example, cause hair loss), but in the carriers of HD, it may also mediated expression of the HD gene.  The short answer is that the protein that causes HD is linked to normal events that are regulated by age at the genetic level.

Sweetheart, yours is falling but mine is gone!  I have rheumatoid arthritis too and my hair is in bald patches and spots and I wear wigs now. I have Systemic Lupus and hair loss is a symptom of the illness. Have you been screened for the anti body? If not you should be. There is no cure for the disease and it is terminal but not deadly, necessarily. Discuss this with your rhuematologist as it is a strong possibility that it's what's going on with you. There is no baldness in my family either, not even the males.

Grey hair is caused by death of the melanin (color)-producing cells in the hair follicle. It is more noticeable in dark hair than light. Since most Indian people are dark haired, it can be seen in children, whereas in a largely light-haired population, it would not be seen. Greying can happen at any age, though it is more likely as one ages.(1)\n\nAll people do not have poor eyesight (or it wouldn't be considered poor, it would be considered normal), though there are genetic, environmental and nutritional factors that can make the numbers greater in one area than another. Many of those who do have poor eyesight, have had it since birth. \n\nIt is unlikely to be noticed in a young child who is otherwise healthy, as they can't tell you what they can or cannot see. As they learn to talk, they don't mention any problem, because they don't know that everybody's eyesight isn't like theirs. \n\nIf you are seeing an increased incidence of poor eyesight, perhaps it is due to better medical care and eyesight screening. Certainly it could be something that is causing children to have poor eyesight more often than in the past, but it's more likely that it's just being picked up earlier.\n\nI think that if you were able to find the information from an unbiased source, you'd learn that these two things have always happened in young children, and aren't just starting to happen now. And remember, older people *always* think "Things just aren't the way they used to be!" We're sometimes wrong about *some* things.

Ultimately the sun of wisdom arises when the cloud of hair diappears. This is usually triggered by the reduction in libido which leads to this phonomenon and thats why it young men are seldom bald.
