When I was 14, my mother told me to ask the doctor why my hair was starting to fall out.
His reply was “Don’t worry about it...My best friend in college was slick as a brick, but he was a fine fellow though”.

That was not very reassuring.

Male baldness is usually a result of high testosterone
levels.
If they cure my baldness, it might also damage my virility :P

You'd have to be bald to understand.

There is a gene that causes pattern baldness, which sorts by classic Mendelian principles.

E.g., the cross of parents Bb x Bb (where B is normal hair and b is bald), gives offspring BB, Bb, bB, bb.

In female offspring, the B acts dominant, so BB, Bb and bB offspring all have full hair and bb has pattern baldness.

In male offspring, however, the testosterone makes the b act dominant, so that Bb, bB, and bb all have pattern baldness.

The reason it is said that mothers pass baldness to their sons is because of the testosterone changing the gene expression. Even if the father has a full head of hair, the Bb mother gives that b gene to half her children, and if they are boys, they will develop pattern baldness.

Because you are cute, handsome, and sexy that way. Bald men can be very attractive! Be careful what you wish for.
