Hair Fall Treatment
At Nirvana Skin, Hair & Laser Clinic in Jhansi, Dr. Pratik Shivhare Offered Hair loss, medically termed alopecia, is characterized by the loss of hair from the scalp or other areas of the body. This condition can present in various forms and is categorized based on its underlying causes and patterns. Understanding alopecia involves recognizing its types, symptoms, causes, and potential treatments.
Causes Of Hair Fall
The causes of hair Fall can be diverse and include:
- Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in androgenetic alopecia.
- Hormonal Changes: Conditions like pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid issues can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss.
- Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases, infections (such as fungal infections), and chronic illnesses can contribute to hair loss.
- Physical or Emotional Stress: Major life events, surgery, or trauma can trigger telogen effluvium.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins and minerals may affect hair health.
Types of Hair Fall
- Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Fall):
- Male-Pattern Baldness: Characterized by hair loss at the temples and crown, often leading to complete baldness in some men.
- Female-Pattern Baldness: Involves thinning at the crown while maintaining the frontal hairline, typically resulting in overall thinning rather than bald patches.
- Alopecia Areata:
- An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to sudden patchy hair loss. It can progress to complete scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or even total body hair loss (alopecia universalis) in severe cases.
- Telogen Effluvium:
- A temporary condition where a significant number of hair follicles enter the resting phase (telogen) prematurely, causing diffuse shedding. This can occur due to stress, hormonal changes, or other physical factors.
- Traction Alopecia:
- Caused by prolonged tension on hair follicles from certain hairstyles (e.g., tight ponytails or braids), leading to localized hair loss.
- Anagen Effluvium:
- Hair loss that occurs during the anagen (growth) phase, often due to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, resulting in rapid shedding of hair.

- Gradual thinning on the top of the head.
