Androgenetic Alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, is a hereditary condition that causes hair thinning and loss. It typically begins in the late teens to early adulthood and progresses with age. In men, it often results in a receding hairline and bald spots, while women usually experience overall thinning, particularly at the crown.
The condition is linked to genetic factors and the effects of androgens, which are male hormones. Although it is not a serious health issue, Androgenetic Alopecia can impact self-esteem and quality of life. Various treatments, including medications and hair restoration procedures, are available to manage the condition.
