What causes Androgenetic alopecia?

One of the most common causes of Androgenetic alopecia is a family history of baldness. Sex hormones called androgens are also associated with this hair loss condition. Due to the activity of DHT, the hair growth cycle gets affected. The growth cycle affects the hair follicles and they start to shrink. It results in finer hair growth. Gradually, the hair stops growing altogether and no new hair grows in the places where hair follicles got affected. In women, the effect of DHT is still unknown. They usually start losing hair during menopause. IT usually starts as reduced hair density, widening of parting and thinning of hair from the crown area.

Diagnosis of Androgenetic alopecia

The dermato-trichologist will undergo a suitable physical examination to diagnose androgenetic alopecia. Often, the doctor will recommend a biopsy to ascertain the cause of severe hair loss. There is no permanent cure for androgenetic alopecia. Early diagnosis can help address and prevent future hair loss.

How is Androgenetic Alopecia treated?

The treatment of Androgenetic alopecia starts by ascertaining the severity and cause of hair loss. The doctor may recommend topical medications like Minoxidil for moderate hair loss. Oral medications such as Finasteride and nutritional supplements can be suggested in combination or as a standalone treatment for hair loss. To treat severe hair loss, the doctor may recommend advanced PRP treatment or hair transplantation.
