Dear Dr. Rassman,
According to this article (see link below), premature baldness is the equivalent of the syndrome of polycystic ovary, which is, as you know, a medical condition, a sign of messed up hormones. Furthermore it is stated in this article that men with premature balding have an abnormal/unhealthy hormonal profile. Would you go so far as to say that premature balding is a hormonal disorder?
Male pattern baldness is a genetic disorder and is impacted by one of the byproducts of testosterone catabolism: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). With that in mind, a more recently published study of 50 Indian men that had severe balding start before they turned 30 years old concluded:
“Though altered hormonal profile may coexist in some of men with premature AGA it can’t be considered as male equivalent to PCOS in female or the metabolic syndrome.”
