You may be having alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune condition due to the attack of lymphocytes​ against hair roots. It results in the formation of bald patches on the scalp. It can affect any hairy area of the body also like eyebrows and beard. It has to be treated properly for long duration until the immunity comes down. Once the immunity is controlled, hair grows back over the patches. Please call me or contact me with photos or visit me at my clinic for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Hello, no, not at all.
Alopecia universalis is an auto immune disorder where body's own immune system take the your own hair follicle as a foreign body and starts rejecting them. So, you only don't have hair - that's it!
otherwise, your brain, body including sexual system is like any normal person.
(but this disorder can be passed on to your next generation). Relax.
Be happy!

It can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. Anyone can lose hair on their head, but it's more common in men. Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp. Hereditary hair loss with age is the most common cause of baldness.
