Appreciate your answer.Usually when hairloss is diet/lifestyle related it triggers Telogen Effluvium, which usually thins hair ALL over your scalp (possibly even in areas not affected by male pattern baldness, like sides and back). Do you feel you've been diffusely thinning lately?
Also, have you ever had your thyroid hormones checked? Longterm anxiety/low-level depression can be indicative of hypothyroidism, which may cause some hairloss
If it isn't of one these two scenarios, then I'm sorry, OP, but you probably have inherited the male pattern baldness genes from somewhere. The only way to truly know is to go to a derm and have your temples/scalp checked at a microscopic level (to assess miniaturization)
(that being said, your temples are minimally receded and you still have a very straight hairline, even if it's male pattern baldness you still have a high probability of maintaining with the existing treatments)
Good luck
Thiningh has been mostly on the crown, a bit on the sides too. On the back of the head it's still thick and dense, but not sure there.
I haven't done a complete thyroid panel, just FT3, it came out a bit higher, the Doctor assured me it's fine.
However, I do have a small thyroid nodule detected which requires periodic check-ups.
Could a 23andme genetic test give a clue whether I'm in danger or not?
