Abstract：Androgenetic alopecia is the most common hair loss disorder,with men accounting for approximately 80%of cases.Characterized by a long disease course and treatment cycle,it requires long-term intervention similar to diabetes and hypertension.Effective doctor-patient communication skills play a crucial role in reducing medical disputes and improving patient compliance.This article elaborates on communication techniques for male patients with androgenetic alopecia by addressing hot-button issues,including sexual dysfunction associated with finasteride tablets,the"excessive shedding"phenomenon,irritating symptoms,and hirsutism related to minoxidil.It also explores communication strategies such as maintaining respect and empathy,active listening,building trust,providing psychological support,offering multiple treatment options,encouraging patient participation in diagnosis and treatment,conducting regular follow-ups,delivering health education,promoting participation in communication skills training,and respecting patients'cultural backgrounds.
