About Hair Loss in Kolkata
Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, refers to a reduction in hair density or thickness that can affect the scalp or other parts of the body, ranging from a gradual, patterned thinning to sudden, complete loss of hair in patches or across the entire scalp. The most common form, androgenetic alopecia or pattern hair loss, follows a predictable pattern influenced by genetics and hormones and affects both men and women, though typically with different patterns of distribution. Other forms include telogen effluvium, a temporary shedding triggered by physical or emotional stress, and alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss. The underlying cause, severity, and pattern of hair loss significantly influence which treatment approach is likely to be effective, making accurate diagnosis an important first step.
