Androgenetic Alopecia In Women

The document discussed androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of baldness, characterized by the progressive loss of terminal hairs, which are replaced by fine, nearly invisible hairs due to androgen circulation. While it predominantly affected men, it was also observed in genetically predisposed women. In women, hair thinning could be diffuse but was generally more pronounced in the fronto-parietal region, with the frontal hairline typically preserved. Both men and women experienced hair loss as a significant personal and social issue, impacting their quality of life.
