Other androgenic alopecia - what does this mean
Other androgenic alopecia is a form of hair loss which is caused by hormones called androgens, which can affect the hair follicles and cause them to shrink, resulting in less hair growth and eventually baldness.
What happens during the disease - other androgenic alopecia
Other androgenic alopecia is a type of hair loss that is caused primarily by an increased production of androgens, which are hormones that are responsible for the development of male characteristics. this increased production of androgens can lead to an increased rate of hair follicle miniaturization, resulting in a decrease in the number of hair follicles and a decrease in the length of the hair growth cycle. as the hair follicles become smaller, the hair becomes thinner and shorter, leading to the development of balding patches.
