If the part in your hair is widening, you find bald spots, or you’re shedding more than 125 hairs per day, you’re likely experiencing hair loss and need to see a dermatologist. There are a couple of types of hair loss and several possible causes. Although there’s very little you can do to prevent hair loss, you might respond to treatment if you get to us early. Our hair fall specialist at Dr Shivam’s Skin Centre in Jaipur provides solutions to all problems related to hair fall.  

Why do we face the problem of hair fall?

Generally, humans shed between 50 and 100 single hairs per day. Hair shedding is part of a natural balance; some hairs fall out while others grow in. When the balance is interrupted when hair falls out and less hair grows, hair loss happens. Hair loss is different from hair shedding. The medical term for hair loss is “alopecia.”

Hair Fall often results from different causes like heredity, anemia, nutritional deficiencies, stress and medical problems like thyroid disorder, diabetes mellitus and polycystic ovarian syndrome (in females). 

Also, hair Fall affects our appearance and ‘hurts’ our pride and affects our psyche. Hair Fall is strongly linked with depression and can be an early sign of heart disease.

Procedure for hair fall Treatment.

The subject goes through the various processes before starting with the treatment. The tests performed to diagnose hair loss in men and women can be simple or complicated:

• Gently pull on the subject’s hair to see how many hairs come out.
• Blood tests. These check for vitamin and mineral levels (like vitamin D, vitamin B, zinc and iron) and hormone levels (including thyroid and sex hormones).
• Scalp examination under a microscope and trichoscopy.
• Scalp biopsy to remove and examine a very small piece of scalp skin.

Once the tests are done, the hair fall specialist suggests the appropriate treatments. The hair fall treatments are generally time-consuming, but the results are breathtaking. Therefore trust your hair fall doctor and be patient with the process, as, in future, it will pay you a reward.
