TLDR Current treatments for androgenetic alopecia manage symptoms but don't cure it, and it affects social and psychological well-being.

The review on androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in Al-Qalyubia Governorate emphasizes that current treatments manage symptoms rather than cure the condition, with varying patient responses and a need for long-term commitment. AGA significantly impacts social and psychological well-being, requiring a comprehensive approach including pharmacological, cosmetic, and surgical options. Future research should explore genetic and molecular aspects, personalized treatments, and the psychosocial effects of AGA, with gene therapy and regenerative medicine showing potential for more effective management.
