Progressive Effects of an Anti-Androgen on Sebaceous Secretion and Body Hair Growth in Hirsute Women

Gender-affirming hormone therapy changes hair growth in transgender people, with feminizing therapy reducing hair and masculinizing therapy increasing it, but sometimes additional treatment is needed.

Baldness is often hereditary and linked to male hormones, becoming noticeable when half the hair is lost.

Some treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and surgery can help with hereditary hair loss.

Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.
