On the latest episode of The Penis Project Podcast, Kendall Gow joins me as we chat with Dr. Mario Terri to unravel the mysteries of baldness. Hair loss and balding are common topics of discussion that come up with the men we see at the clinic, so we wanted to get some answers from a specialist in the field of hair loss treatments.
Dr. Mario Terri, is a hair transplant surgeon and cosmetic physician, who also serves as the Senior Medical Director for Ashley and Martin Australia in Perth. We discuss the factors contributing to hair loss, from genetics to hormones, and debunk some common myths along the way.

Here are some key points from our engaging conversation:
- The prevalence of hair loss varies between men and women. While it's commonly believed that 60% of men and 40% of women will experience hair loss in their lifetime, Dr. Terri shares updated statistics, revealing that up to 70% of men and around 10% of women may experience hair loss. After menopause, this percentage can increase to 30% in women.
- Hair loss in men is typically attributed to genetic male pattern baldness, accounting for 99% of cases. In women, it can result from various factors, including genetics, medical conditions, or lifestyle choices.
- Dr. Terri provides insights into the genetic aspects of hair loss, dispelling the myth that baldness is solely inherited from one side of the family. Polygenetics plays a significant role, and the risk of hair loss is higher if it runs in your immediate family.
- We discuss the age groups seeking treatment for hair loss, with a focus on the age range of 18 to 40, where individuals are often at a stage in life where they are concerned about their appearance and how it might impact their personal and professional lives.
- We address the misconception that baldness is related to high testosterone levels. Dr. Terri clarifies that the testosterone levels in bald and non-bald men are not significantly different, debunking this common myth.
- During consultations, Dr. Terri explains that they take a comprehensive approach, examining the patient's history, performing a physical examination, and asking relevant questions to determine the cause of hair loss, which can be genetic or attributed to other factors such as dermatitis or medical conditions.
Join us for an enlightening discussion that sheds light on the causes of hair loss and dispels myths surrounding this common concern.
