Androgenetic Alopecia (Male or Female Pattern Baldness): This is the most common cause of hair loss, especially in men. It is a hereditary condition and can also affect women.
Telogen Effluvium: This type of hair loss occurs due to physical or emotional stress, illness, surgery, rapid weight loss, hormonal changes, or certain medications.
Alopecia Areata: This is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, causing hair loss in patches.
Thyroid Disorders: Both hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can cause hair loss.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients, such as iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamin D, can contribute to hair loss.
If you are experiencing significant hair fall, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist or a trichologist (hair specialist) to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment recommendations. Early intervention can often lead to better outcomes in managing hair loss.
