    TLDR Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic hair loss condition, more severe in men, and can also be caused by hormonal imbalances in women.
    "Androgenetic alopecia is a form of hair loss that affects both men and women, although it is more severe in men. It is primarily determined by genetic factors. In women, it can also be caused by hormonal imbalances. The pathology of androgenetic alopecia is similar in both sexes, but the pattern of hair loss differs. There is some debate over whether the condition has the same underlying cause in men and women."
