Hair loss in men
Understanding Causes and Solutions
Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is primarily influenced by genetics and hormone levels. It typically presents as a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, following a predictable pattern outlined by the Norwood scale.
While genetics play a major role, other factors such as age, hormonal changes, and lifestyle choices can also contribute to hair loss. Effective treatments include medications like minoxidil and finasteride, as well as surgical options like hair transplantation.
Early intervention and proper management can help slow down or even reverse hair loss, restoring confidence and self-esteem in affected individuals.

Hair loss in women
Understanding Causes and Solutions
Hair loss in women can be distressing, often presenting as overall thinning rather than distinct bald spots. Unlike male pattern baldness, female hair loss is influenced by hormonal imbalances (pregnancy, menopause, PCOS), thyroid disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and stress2.
Other contributing factors include tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, and harsh chemical treatments, which can weaken hair follicles. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and scalp examinations to determine the underlying cause.
Effective treatments range from topical solutions like minoxidil, hormone therapy, dietary adjustments, and low-level laser therapy, helping many women restore hair health and confidence.

Types of alopecia and causes of hair loss
Understanding the Condition
Hair loss can stem from various causes, leading to different types of alopecia:
-
Androgenetic Alopecia – The most common type, often hereditary, manifests as male and female pattern baldness. It occurs when hair follicles become sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), leading to follicle miniaturization and eventual hair loss.
-
Telogen Effluvium – Characterized by sudden shedding, often triggered by stress, illness, hormonal fluctuations, or nutritional deficiencies.
-
Alopecia Areata – An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss.
-
Traction Alopecia – Results from hairstyles that exert excessive tension on the scalp, damaging follicles over time.
-
Hormonal Imbalances & Medications – Conditions like pregnancy, thyroid disorders, and treatments such as chemotherapy can contribute to hair loss.
Identifying the specific type and underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment and management strategies.
