How do i know if i'm suffering from female pattern hair loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair loss: Some women can experience male pattern hair loss which consists of hair loss along the frontal hair line and the top of the head. Like in men there is a genetic component but this hair loss is also dependent on testosterone. Women with type of hair loss should get a morning total and free testosterone to see if it is elevated
