Key points

  • The condition is usually genetic and can be inherited from one or both parents.
  • Hormone levels are typically normal; the issue is increased follicular sensitivity to androgens.
  • Management may include medicines to slow hair loss and potentially support regrowth, or hair transplant surgery as a permanent option.

Medicines listed for Androgenetic Alopecia
