If many men have balding in your family then there is a high chance

this is useless, one side of my family has 80+ year old people that still have a full head of hair while the other has a small strand that is balding

When you shower, comb your hair a bit, some hair will fall off and stick to the comb (always does, it's natural), then you measure the avg size of the hair that's falling off, if most of them are under 5cm you have some follicle miniaturization going on. That's the easiest way.
Obviously try to grow your hair out a bit before doing this, you can't know shit if you're getting a #2 guard buzz cut every two weeks.

If you want to go full autist you can also get a shower drain hair trap and count how many follicles you're losing each shower, if it's under 100 you're good.

Yes you can go to a doctor. There is a soecific one who checks your hair follicles and then can say why you lose hair and if and when and all that stuff

It's more of a tl;dw version of this video by MPMD Derek.
 
MPD progression should be obvious comparing past pictures
 
almost everybody goes beyond nw1 before like 35 tbh. if you have any significant balding running in family at all then you might as well just start popping them pills right now because there's a 98% chance you'll have to do it anyway if you wanna stay below nw1. everybody and their daddy is a bald(ing)cel.
