HAIRFALL

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can occur for a variety of reasons and affect both men and women. It can be a distressing condition, and the underlying cause can vary from person to person. Here are some common causes of hair loss and potential treatments:

 Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness):

  • This is the most common cause of hair loss and is often hereditary.
  • In men, it typically results in a receding hairline and balding on the crown.
  • In women, it may lead to thinning of the hair.
  • Treatments include minoxidil (Rogaine), finasteride (Propecia), hair transplantation, and low-level laser therapy.

 Telogen Effluvium:

  • Telogen effluvium is often triggered by a significant physical or emotional stressor.
  • It leads to a shedding of hair that is typically reversible once the underlying cause is addressed.
  • Managing stress, improving nutrition, and identifying and addressing the underlying trigger are key.
