Glossary Male-Pattern Hair Growth

increased body and facial hair in males due to androgens

Male-Pattern Hair Growth, also known as androgenic hair growth, refers to the distribution of body and facial hair in males, typically influenced by androgens like testosterone. This pattern includes the growth of facial hair (beard and mustache), chest hair, and pubic hair, and is often more pronounced and extensive compared to females due to higher levels of male hormones.
