Male Pattern Hair Loss, known simply as MPHL or male pattern balding, is a medical condition that refers to balding in men. Balding is one thing that cannot be avoided by
some men. To some, it doesn’t happen. But to some, it does. And the effects of this, though not fatal or anything medically serious, actually exceeds just the need to look good. Although some people may look at baldness with a nonchalant wave of their hands, some people take it seriously. It is only when you yourself suffer from the condition that you begin to take male hair loss seriously. And male hair loss can attack in several ways. The very reason why it’s called Male Pattern Hair Loss (loss of hair) is that the balding happens in certain patterns. The first pattern is what most of us call the receding hairline.
This is probably the most common pattern. How many men do you know or have seen whose hairlines are slowly becoming unseen from up front? You probably couldn’t count anymore. They’re everywhere. They may be men you know, men you see on TV, or men you meet on the streets. They may be your father, your grandfather, your uncle. The worst part is that it could even be you. Signs of receding hairlines can usually already be seen early on. The second pattern is baldness at the crown of the head. These are men who look like they have a bald spot right at the center of their heads. But regardless of what form it comes in, MPHL is a scarily common condition that needs every man’s attention.
