    GlossaryPrenatal Androgen Exposure

    exposure of developing fetus to male sex hormones

    Prenatal Androgen Exposure refers to the exposure of a developing fetus to androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone, during pregnancy. This exposure can influence the development of physical traits and behaviors, potentially affecting characteristics such as hair growth patterns, brain development, and even the risk of certain conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or androgenic alopecia later in life.
