Guys all of this arguing isn't going to solve anything, I just gave my theory and I don't really deserve to be stigmatised for it. Whatever you think, it's not normal for an 18 year old guy to be having hair problems. It seems that a lot of people are willing to just accept it and say it's all down to male pattern baldness when in fact there may be something else contributing to it. For now I'm not willing to accept that it's male pattern baldness that's causing my hair problems, because this has happened all in the space of 6 months, right at the time where my fitness and diet declined DRASTICALLY, and my stress increased due to my knee injury. To say there is no correlation between the two would be irrational. Also I've had my TSH tested and it stands at 9, yet the doctor will not treat me. People begin to feel awful with a TSH of 5, yet mine is at 9 and the doctor won't do anything. Could my thyroid be the cause of all this in the space of 6 months?
someone please ban this dumb mofo and delete this awful thread

you are literally so dumb. jesus christ. i especially like the part where you say that correlation equates to causation and that anyone who denies this is irrational. lol. plz leave

Did I say it's your fault? Stop asking such stupid questions when i never implied anything of the sort. I'm just saying, 6 months ago I had no hair problems, now it seems to have changed in this period of time. i'm sure at 17 you didn't see enormous changes in 6 months time, which leads me to believe that it MAY not be male pattern baldness, but something else.

Of course I'm in denial, I'm going to be in denial until I know for a fact that it's male pattern baldness. My father and all of my uncles on his side of the family had thick heads of hair until their mid thirties early forties, their hair understandably deteriorated with age. The uncles on my mother's of the family still have thick heads of hair and they're in their fifties. All of my cousins, apart from one are suffering from no signs of hair loss. Here's a picture of myself when I was 9 years old, I was suffering from thyroid issues at this age and I seem to have less hair then I have now. However I just don't know what to believe mate, I don't know whether I'm going through a stage or what. I know there's people in much worse situations but this is my case, I don't want you to pity me on anything, I'd just appreciate some support, that's what these forums are for right? Thanks anyway, sorry for sounding stubborn but there seems to be a lot of variables to consider in my case which makes it more difficult to ascertain.

I can understand mate but even the sides and the back have thinned which is leaving me suspicious, I'm skeptical to start any treatments without any definite proof that it's male pattern baldness. Hopefully I'll see a doctor soon to see if it's medical or not. Ever since my hair problems began, the strength of my erections has subsided, as has my sex drive. I'm constantly lethargic. I just don't know what to believe.

you seem to be confusing some issues here. There are other forms of alopecia (hairloss) which can be caused by a myriad of things including thyroid or maybe even poor lifestyle, and maybe that's what you have.

But Androgenetic Alopeica (Male Pattern Baldness) is determined by genes (the clue is in the name) and is NOT in any way affected by diet, lifestyle, what products you use, how often you jerk off, etc. This has been scientifically proven beyond any doubt.

secondly, 'hair health' and male pattern baldness are not related. Having a poor diet/lifesytle may well detrimentally affect the health of your hair, but will not cause, or exacerbate male pattern baldness. Likewise having an incredibly healthy lifestyle will not, unfortunately, prevent you from going bald.

the reason this keeps coming up is simply wishful thinking. People are desperate to believe they can do something about male pattern baldness - have some control over your hair's destiny, so come up with all kind of wild and wacky theories: 'maybe this... maybe that...', and ignore the hard unpalatable facts.

you said it's not 'normal' for a man to go bald at 18. Unfortunetely for some men it's perfectly normal. It's a genetic lottery.

I also have one more question mate which I've always been interested in knowing. It seems that I have most of my mother's genes, her hair texture, eye colour and same shaped nose, as well as being more prone to things such as anxiety. Her brothers still have great hair. My father on the other hand had curly hair, blue eyes and is totally different in terms of appearance. If he did appear to have the genetic trait, is it likely for it to be passed on when none of the other physical traits have been? I have brown eyes, straight hair amongst other things such as a different facial definition etc. I know this may be a complicated question. What are your views?

Ok. I'm going to get a DHT test in order to see where my levels are. If the levels come into the normal range, does that mean that dht, or male pattern baldness, isn't the cause, or is it more complicated than that mate?
