    TLDR People with hair loss may have worse urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate.
    The study investigates the potential link between androgenic alopecia (AGA) and the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The findings suggest that individuals with AGA are more likely to experience severe LUTS secondary to BPH. This association highlights the need for healthcare providers to consider the presence of AGA as a possible indicator of more severe LUTS in patients with BPH, potentially guiding more tailored and effective management strategies for these patients.
