Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss in adults and may be particularly distressing for gender minority patients, given the close relation between hair and gender expression. Furthermore, use of gender affirming hormones such as testosterone in transmen and estrogen/antiandrogens in transwomen has a direct effect on hair growth distribution and density. Clinicians should thus be knowledgeable about the effects of sex hormones on the hair growth cycle to comfortably diagnose and treat AGA in gender minority patients.
雄激素性脱发（AGA）是成年人最常见的脱发类型，对于性别少数群体患者来说可能特别令人苦恼，因为头发与性别表达密切相关。此外，跨性别男性使用睾酮等性别肯定激素，跨性别女性使用雌激素/抗雄激素，这些都会直接影响头发的生长分布和密度。因此，临床医生应该了解性激素对毛发生长周期的影响，以便舒适地诊断和治疗性别少数群体患者的 AGA。
