    GlossaryAndrogen Exposure

    body's interaction with male sex hormones like testosterone

    Androgen exposure refers to the body's interaction with androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. These hormones play a crucial role in the development of male characteristics and can influence hair growth patterns, potentially leading to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). For professionals, understanding androgen exposure is essential for diagnosing and treating hair loss and other androgen-related conditions.
