Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL), also known as Female Pattern Baldness, is one of the most common causes of hair thinning in women. It is characterized by a gradual reduction in hair density, widening of the hair partition, and thinning over the crown of the scalp while usually preserving the frontal hairline.
Early diagnosis and treatment are important to slow disease progression, preserve existing hair, and improve hair density.

Blood investigations may be recommended to identify contributing factors such as iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid disorders, or hormonal abnormalities.
