Dermatologists note that androgenetic alopecia, linked to genetics and DHT sensitivity, is a primary driver of male hair loss in their 20s and 30s.
Additional factors such as telogen effluvium from stress, nutritional deficiencies, and post-fever illnesses can also trigger temporary or accelerated hair shedding.
Experts emphasize consulting a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis before starting treatments like minoxidil or finasteride.
