What happens during the disease - androgenic alopecia, unspecified
Androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, is a common type of hair loss caused by an interaction between hormones and hair follicles. the main hormone responsible for this condition is dihydrotestosterone (dht) which is derived from testosterone and binds to the receptors of the hair follicles, leading to a decrease in hair growth and eventually hair loss. the dht causes the hair follicles to shrink in size, reducing the amount of hair produced and leading to thinning of the hair.
