Doctor how common is hairloss from stress in men? Im just talking about daily typical stress? how severe does the stress have to be to accelerate genetic balding in men in your opinion?
Stress, if it is not well managed, can accelerate hair loss in those who are genetically prone to balding, but for most men it is genetics that are the cause. I don’t know at what severity your stress levels need to be before the loss is accelerated, as stress is difficult to measure across the board. Each person is different and will react to stress differently.
There are other conditions that cause hair loss that can be stressed induced, such as alopecia areata (there is a genetic link with it), telogen effluvium, and other autoimmune diseases. If you’re concerned that your stress is accelerating your loss, see a doctor about getting your stress under control. Chances are though, if you’re a man that is seeing hair loss, your genes are playing a larger role in the speed at which you’re thinning.
