Collection on Androgenetic Alopecia theories: Which theory is the most plausible for you?

[Norwood-null-by-2021]

The following theories are known to me so far:

1) muscle tension theory (tension Androgenetic Alopecia)
2) Hereditary hypersensitivity to DHT
3) infection theory (bacteria, viruses and fungi that increase DHT)
4) Sun / Vitamin D Theory
5) Hydraulic theory according to Stephen Foote
6) Skull Expansion Theory
7) Vitamin C Deficiency Theory

What other theories can you think of?
And which theory is the most plausible for you?

I have studied most theories and my vote goes to genetic DHT sensitivity theory.lot has been discussed about theories here.

I think its a combination of things. I would say that DHT theory has been studied the most, but then I went bald over 4 years on dutasteride after having perfect hair at 31. So I don't know

It's really in your genetics, age, gender, plus your nutrition.

7) Vitamin C Deficiency Theory

Is this for real? Would love to see the twisted logic of this one

 

[Will Be an Egg in 5 years]

Genetics and nothing more. Maybe the skill/muscle tension plays a role in your respective pattern. But it's pretty obvious is a genetic trace, and that's why I don't think there will ever be a cure.

ASC2P: A New Treatment For Balding?

Only humans and monkeys get an Androgenetic Alopecia. Neither of them can produce their own vitamin C. Just a coincidence?

5) Hydraulic theory according to Stephen Foote:

- people report hair loss in the summer months and stopping HA in the winter tomatoes => cold reduces the fluid from the tissue

- Androgenetic Alopecia is supposedly unknown to Eskimos

- At the same time as the start of my Androgenetic Alopecia, I have swollen lymph nodes

- I measured the edema in my scalp and it is actually true! I have really bad edema on my bald spots.

- Men with full hair should obviously never have this edema
