Glossary Androgen-Dependent Conditions

medical issues caused by male hormones like testosterone

Androgen-Dependent Conditions are medical issues that arise due to the effects of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. These conditions can affect both men and women and include problems like male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), acne, and prostate enlargement. In these cases, the presence and activity of androgens play a crucial role in the development and progression of the condition.
