Female Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review

April 1992 in “ PubMed ”

Spindler, J L Data

TLDR Female androgenetic alopecia is a type of hair loss in women, sometimes linked to other symptoms.

This review from 1992 examined female androgenetic alopecia (AA), focusing on hair physiology and biochemistry, and provided a general discussion of AA. It distinguished AA associated with signs of virilization from AA occurring alone. The review also briefly described other types of hair loss in women, contributing to a broader understanding of hair loss conditions beyond AA.
