Androgenic Alopecia - Definition, Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Definition Androgenic Alopecia is also known as Androgenetic alopecia, female pattern baldness, Male Pattern Alopecia, Male Pattern Baldness, Pattern baldness, alopecia androgenetica. This is a common form of hair loss in both males as well as females. In males this problem is also called male pattern baldness. Usually hairs are lost in a well defined pattern. The baldness starts above both temples. The hair loss occurs slowly over the years. It can start anytime after 20. There is usually a family history of hair loss. In women, the hair slowly becomes thin throughout the scalp and bald spots usually do not occur. Men first develop hair loss at the temples, followed by an enlarging bald spot on top of the head. . Over time, the hairline recedes to form a characteristic "M" shape. Hair also thins at the crown (near the top of the head), often progressing to partial or complete baldness.
