Can hair loss caused by excessive androgens be cured?
Disease description:
My daughter has been experiencing severe hair loss for the past couple of days. After a hospital checkup, it was suggested that it might be caused by excessive androgen levels. If hair loss is indeed due to high androgen levels, can it be cured?

There is no definitive cure for this condition. Treatment can begin with topical ointments and oral medications; hair transplantation may be considered if necessary. Most patients, after three months of proper treatment, can achieve a stable balance of hair growth. It's important to maintain good rest habits, eat more foods that promote hair growth, avoid being too vigorous when washing your hair, and refrain from using water that is too cold or too hot.
