Androgenetic female alopecia is also called male pattern baldness. The cause of the disease is excessive androgen, and heredity is also an important factor. The clinical manifestations are that the hair on the top of the head gradually becomes sparse, and the serum test androgen level is higher than the normal level. It can be diagnosed. It can be treated with the anti-androgen preparation cyproterone acetate.
