In MPB, you will have the following conditions

Male Pattern Baldness is a progressive condition and it doesn't happen in a few days or months! It take years before you notice the thinning and when you do, you have probably lost over 50% of your hair.
If your hair loss is sudden and unexplained, you could probably be facing with Telogen Effluvium. If you hair loss is abnormal accompanied with other symptoms like bald patches, bruises and etc., it could be another problem besides MPB.

Losing Hair is Normal
Everyone including you loses hair everyday and it's NORMAL because old hairs are pushed out and new hairs replaced them. It's part of the Hair Growth Cycle where everyone loses around 50 to 100 hairs a day.
At any one time, roughly 10 percent of your hairs are in the Telogen Phase. These hairs are loose and you can easily remove them by just a slight pull. The hairs will randomly fall off without you even noticing it but you might see more hairs coming out during shampooing and combing because of all the friction applied. This is also normal because those hairs will fall out sooner or later and not washing will not prevent them from falling off.
If you want to know more about how your hair grows, you should read about the Hair Growth Cycle for more information about the different phases of your hair growth.
