Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, refers to the loss of hair from any part of the body, with scalp hair loss commonly referred to as baldness. Although this condition can affect anyone, it is more common in men than women. Hair loss may be temporary or permanent, depending on its cause. It occurs when hair growth slows down or stops altogether, often accompanied by the shedding of hair.
Symptoms of Hair Loss
Common signs of hair loss include:
- Gradual thinning of hair
- Bald patches appearing on the scalp
- Sudden loosening of hair
- Hair loss affecting other parts of the body
Causes of Hair Loss
The main factors contributing to hair loss include:
- Family history of hair loss
- Hormonal changes
- Aging
- Certain medical conditions
- Side effects of specific medications
- Radiation therapy to the head
- Overstyling or excessive hair treatments
- Stress
Treatment for Hair Loss While some individuals may choose to embrace their hair loss without seeking treatment, others prefer medical options. Your healthcare provider will begin with a physical examination, discuss your family history and hair care routine, and may recommend tests like blood work, scalp biopsy, pull tests, or light microscopy.
Treatment options include medications and laser therapy to encourage hair regrowth.
