Treating Hair Loss

Hair Loss

Hair loss is a condition that both men and women suffer from, but there tends to be more of a spotlight on men and male-patterned baldness. Even so, hair loss can affect anyone and damage your confidence and self-image. In other cases, it can also indicate an underlying issue.

What causes hair loss?

We shed hair daily. The concern happens when the hair stops growing back or when hair loss is noticeable. This can be due to several reasons:

  • Underlying conditions, such as hyperangrogenism or anaemia
  • Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency
  • Traction from tight hairstyles
  • Stress
  • Weight loss
  • Pregnancy

Understanding the cause of your hair loss is essential to treating it. For example, you may have male-patterned baldness or an autoimmune condition like alopecia that causes hair to fall out in patches.
