Hair Fall

Hair Fall

Hair fall, or hair loss, is a common condition that affects both men and women, leading to thinning hair or baldness. The causes of hair fall are varied and can include genetic factors (such as male or female pattern baldness), hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, stress, medications, or medical conditions like thyroid disorders and alopecia areata. On average, it’s normal to lose 50-100 strands of hair per day, but excessive hair loss can lead to noticeable thinning. Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss in men and typically starts at the hairline or crown. In women, hair loss may be linked to hormonal changes related to pregnancy, menopause, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hair fall can also be triggered by lifestyle factors, such as poor diet, lack of sleep, and high stress. Treatment for hair fall includes medications like minoxidil or finasteride, which help stimulate hair growth. Nutritional supplements, hair restoration procedures like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, and hair transplants are also common treatment options. Additionally, addressing the root cause, whether through stress management, improving diet, or correcting hormonal imbalances, is crucial in managing and preventing hair fall.
