    Glossary Androgen Sensitivity

    body's responsiveness to male hormones like testosterone

    Androgen sensitivity refers to how responsive an individual's body is to androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. This sensitivity can affect various bodily functions, including hair growth and development. In conditions like androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), increased sensitivity to androgens can lead to hair thinning and loss.
