Another male pattern baldness (or FBP?) vs Telogen Effluvium asker

[scud666]

Ok, here goes that question again. you've heard a dozen times. Family has no history of male pattern baldness (although I recall my uncle (mother's brother) was balding). Basically, this is my situation, I got my girl knocked up 4 months ago. And a month later we decided to abort the baby and my stress was over. It was a stressful month for me, but I ain't sure if it would make my hair fall out. So I'm not sure if its Telogen Effluvium.

But as of last months ago my hair started falling out real fast. The thing is my hair hasn't reced too much overese years. Receded 5mm over these 7 years only. However, what's worrying me is Telogen Effluvium density of my hair. Its fallen to shiat. Its as if I got FPB. All my hair has the same density. My sides and back have thinned out as well. They are the same density and all my hair is not peach fuzz. They are normal thick hair shaft.

So a few questions:

- Does male pattern baldness have a SUDDEN onset?
- Can male pattern baldness be like what I have (i.e- little recession but just purely low desnity hair?)
- Could this be Telogen Effluvium? I don't know if something like getting your girl prego (and almost being forced to marry, would cause someone to go into Telogen Effluvium?

any help would really help, cause I'm losing my hair like crazy over these couple of months!!!

-Yes sometimes it might happen suddenly and aggressive.
-Yes
-Could be Telogen Effluvium, but it's unlikely. Also it could be both. Visit a good Dermatologist.

Visit a good Dermatologist.

:agree:

IT could be Telogen Effluvium or stress related thinning. If your hair doesn't recover in the next few months, then it's male pattern baldness.
