Thinning or Balding

Thinning and balding hair can have many causes so if you have concerns it's important to see your doctor. Some of the potential explanations are genetics (male pattern baldness affects about 1/3 of men), hairstyles that pull or stress the hair (too-tight ponytails), thyroid disorders, autoimmune disorders, and nutritional deficiencies (eating disorders, malnutrition, etc).
