Background: In androgenetic alopecia [AGA], a hereditary disorder of hair loss, the pattern of hair thinning from terminal to indeterminate and finally vellus hair develops with time. The social and emotional lives of those impacted are profoundly influenced. A complex interaction between androgenic stimuli and hereditary susceptibility causes hair follicles to progressively decrease. Our goals are: The goal of this study is to provide readers a bird's-eye perspective of AGA, covering all the bases such as symptoms, causes, diagnostic tools, and treatments available today. Results: AGA may be triggered by a variety of factors and progresses gradually. In order to back up a patient's symptoms and signs that point to a diagnosis, many diagnostic tests may be conducted. Treatment options included surgical treatments, oral and topical medicines, and combination therapy, the latter of which showed encouraging results. The greatest results can only be achieved with continuous therapy and prompt action. More research is required to confirm the safety and effectiveness of newer medications, although they provide new avenues for management, such as cell-based therapies and low-level laser therapy.
