Peer Review manuscript Ms_AJRDES_105175: THE IMPACT OF ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA AND ITS TREATMENT PROTOCOLS ON THE SEXUAL LIFE OF AFFECTED MALES AND FEMALES:AN ANALYTICAL LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

This review will overview all such treatments, along with enlisting the major possible causes and mechanisms that could cause those problems. Androgenetic Alopecia is one of the most common forms of hair loss that affect both males and females. It is a genetically pre-determined disorder that occurs when the body’s response to androgens is enhanced or increased. It is seen that 50% of the affected individuals are within 50 years of age, whereas 80% of the people who get affected by alopecia were above the age of 70 years. In the case of low-level LASER therapy, it is slowly becoming a widely accepted, commercial method for treating Androgenetic Alopecia. Although the exact mechanism of action of this low-level LASER therapy is not known yet, it is seen to stimulate certain important processes such as the modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and transcription factor induction. Androgenetic Alopecia is one of them major causes of hair loss in both males and females. It greatly impacts the daily life of individuals as they do not appear to be comfortable with their appearance.
