    GlossaryAndrogenetic Alopecia (male balding)

    genetic hair loss influenced by androgens, often hereditary

    Androgenetic Alopecia, commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness or Female Pattern Baldness, is a genetic condition characterized by progressive hair thinning and loss. It is influenced by androgens (male hormones) and typically follows a recognizable pattern, such as a receding hairline in men and diffuse thinning on the crown in women. This condition is the most common cause of hair loss, affecting both genders, and is often hereditary.
