Baldness is hereditary and genetics is a major cause of male pattern baldness. The gene for male pattern baldness is not just from the father, but some studies have shown that women can also carry the gene for male pattern baldness. If the mother, has female pattern baldness or severe hair loss, then the son is several times more likely to lose his hair, assuming the husband is diagnosed with male pattern baldness and the wife has a family history of hair loss, then the wife is likely to carry the gene for male pattern baldness. The children of these two people, especially the son, would then be at high risk for male pattern baldness. No gene therapy has been found for male pattern baldness, but young parents of families at high risk for male pattern baldness should be aware of other factors that affect male pattern baldness. For example, dietary habits and psychological tolerance, so as to help their children establish good habits and minimize their risk of hair loss. The above is for reference only. Please follow the doctor’s instructions for specific medication and treatment.
