What causes hair loss?
You can lose hair for many reasons, such as:
- Physical stress (illness and excessive exercise)
- Extreme emotional stress
- Fungal infections (ringworm)
- Hormonal imbalances (low estrogen and progesterone)
- Alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease)
- Traction alopecia (tight braids and ponytails)
- Androgenetic alopecia (inherited hair loss)
Of all the possible causes, androgenetic alopecia is the most common. The condition, also called male-pattern and female-pattern hair loss, makes your hair follicles shrink. At first, the follicle grows thinner hair. Over time, the follicles fail and stop growing new hair.
Male-pattern baldness causes a receding hairline and hair loss on the top of the head. Female-pattern hair loss typically results in general thinning over the scalp.
How is hair loss treated?
Hair loss treatment often begins with medications or a surgical transplant. One of the biggest drawbacks to medications (beyond possible side effects) is that you must use the drug continuously to maintain hair growth. As soon as you stop applying the medication, your hair loss returns.
At Regenerative Sport, Spine and Spa, Dr. Cherukupally offers an effective alternative to traditional treatments.
