I Was Born with an Undescended Testicle — Is That Why I Have Diffuse Hair Loss?

I believe I am suffering from diffuse patterned alopecia aka DPA. I was born with an undescended testicle causing a hormonal imbalance in my body. I am now 24 and have been experiencing diffusing hair loss for over 5 years. Ive been scared to take the next step and obtain treatment until now.

There is no connection between the testicle that did not descend and your hair loss. I hope you had the testicle addressed by now with a good doctor, as these testicles that are kept in the abdomen have a higher risk of testicular cancer.

The hair loss sounds like it’s probably typical genetic male pattern balding, for which you should be evaluated by a competent doctor.
