Male-Pattern Baldness and Female-Pattern Baldness

Male-pattern baldness (MPB) and female-pattern baldness (FPB) are the most common forms of hair loss caused by hormonal changes and genetics. MPB typically leads to a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, while FPB results in widespread thinning across the scalp without a receding hairline. These conditions are progressive but treatable, and early intervention can slow hair loss and promote regrowth.
