Hormonal Imbalances and Androgenetic Alopecia
One of the primary causes of hair loss is hormonal imbalances, particularly in the case of androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. This condition is characterized by a genetic predisposition combined with increased sensitivity of hair follicles to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Nutritional Deficiencies and Hair Loss
Another common cause of hair loss is nutritional deficiencies. Inadequate intake of essential nutrients, such as vitamins (particularly biotin) and minerals like iron and zinc, can weaken hair follicles and lead to hair loss. To combat this cause, dietary adjustments and supplementation can be beneficial. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains will help with nutrient deficiencies.
Stress and Telogen Effluvium
Excessive stress can contribute to a condition known as telogen effluvium, which leads to increased shedding of hair. Stress disrupts the normal hair growth cycle, pushing more hair follicles into the resting phase and causing them to fall out prematurely. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, exercise, and lifestyle modifications can help minimize hair loss.
Autoimmune Disorders and Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss. The immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to hair loss in distinct areas of the scalp or body. Treatments for alopecia areata often involve a multi-faceted approach. Topical corticosteroids can be prescribed to reduce inflammation and encourage hair regrowth.

I had my hair transplant done at Dr. YATES clinic, all of the experience was beyond my expectations. He was very helpful, took his time to explain everything, followed up for the next three days and he did a wonderful job.
