    Glossary Antiandrogenic Progestins

    hormones that block male hormones' effects

    Antiandrogenic progestins are a type of hormone used in some birth control pills and hormone therapies. They not only help regulate menstrual cycles and prevent pregnancy but also counteract the effects of androgens (male hormones) in the body, which can be beneficial for conditions like acne, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), and certain types of hair loss.
