Male pattern baldness, or androgenic alopecia, is a common condition affecting men over 50 years old. The emotional distress associated with hair loss is significant, impacting confidence and social interactions. Treatment options include finasteride, minoxidil, topical antiandrogens, hair transplantation, and platelet-rich plasma. Diagnosis involves a thorough patient interview and physical examination, focusing on medical history, family history, and hair care practices. Androgenic alopecia is primarily genetic, with an excessive response to androgens leading to hair loss. Understanding the pathophysiology of male pattern baldness is crucial for effective treatment.
