Hair Loss

Hair loss, or alopecia, can range from thinning to complete baldness, caused by genetics, hormones, medical conditions, medications, stress, poor nutrition, or hairstyles. It can significantly impact mental health.

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can manifest in various forms, ranging from thinning hair to complete baldness. It can be temporary or permanent and may be caused by a wide range of factors including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions (such as thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, and scalp infections), medications (including chemotherapy drugs, blood thinners, and antidepressants), stress (physical or emotional), poor nutrition (deficiencies in iron, zinc, or protein), and certain hairstyles or treatments (tight ponytails, perms, and relaxers). The appearance of hair loss can vary depending on the cause. It may present as gradual thinning on top of the head, circular or patchy bald spots, sudden loosening of hair, or full-body hair loss. The psychological impact of hair loss can be significant, leading to anxiety, depression, and decreased self-esteem.
