Female androgenetic alopecia is the commonest cause of hair loss in women. It is characterized by a diffuse reduction in hair density over the crown and frontal scalp with retention of the frontal hairline and a characteristic pattern distribution in genetically predisposed women. Because of the uncertain relationship with the androgens Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) is the most preferred definition of the condition. This review has been focused on the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment alternatives of FPHL.

Kad�nda androgenetik alopesi kad�n hastalarda izlenen sa� kayb�n�n en s�k nedenidir. Genetik olarak predispoze kad�nlarda sa��n tepe b�lgesinde ve frontal b�lgede, frontal sa� �izgisinin korundu�u ve karakteristik patern da��l�m�n�n izlendi�i sa� yo�unlu�unda diff�z bir azalma ile karakterizedir. Androjenlerle ili�kisinin kesin olmamas� nedeniyle kad�n tipi sa� d�k�lmesi (KTSD) tan�m� daha fazla tercih edilmektedir. Bu derleme KTSD�nin klinik bulgular�, tan�s� ve tedavi alternatiflerini g�zden ge�irmektedir.
