    Did you mean Steroids?
    Glossary Steroids

    Steroids are synthetic substances that mimic the effects of hormones like testosterone in the body. They are often used in medical treatments but can also lead to hair loss as a side effect, particularly when they disrupt the natural hormonal balance. In the context of hair biology, anabolic steroids can cause androgenic alopecia, a condition characterized by thinning hair and baldness, especially in genetically predisposed individuals. Key distinguishing characteristics include their potential to increase hair loss in both men and women, depending on individual sensitivity to androgens.
