    TLDR Men with male pattern baldness are more likely to have benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    The study "The Association of Male Pattern Baldness in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia" found a significant correlation between male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The researchers conducted a study involving 1,000 men, half of whom had BPH and the other half who did not. They found that 65% of the men with BPH also had male pattern baldness, compared to only 30% in the control group. This suggests that male pattern baldness could be a potential indicator for BPH. However, the researchers emphasized that more studies are needed to confirm these findings and to explore the underlying mechanisms linking these two conditions.

      Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
