Hair Fall & Thinning
Hair fall has many causes and they are not interchangeable — thyroid, iron, post-illness shedding, hormonal patterns and genetic loss all look similar in the shower drain and respond to completely different things. This is the concern where treating before diagnosing wastes the most money.
What people usually notice
- Noticeably more hair on the pillow, comb or shower floor
- A part line that looks wider than it did a year ago
- A ponytail that feels thinner in the hand
- Scalp visible under direct light where it was not before
What commonly contributes
- Genetic pattern loss, which is progressive without intervention
- Iron, vitamin D, B12 or thyroid issues, all of which are testable
- Telogen effluvium after illness, surgery, childbirth or acute stress
- Hormonal conditions, including PCOS
This page describes what is common, not what is true of you. Only an examination can say which of these applies.
What a doctor may consider
Which of these suits you — and whether any of them is needed at all — is decided at the consultation, not from this page.
What the consultation settles
Expect blood work to be suggested before a treatment course. A clinic that starts injecting without establishing why you are losing hair is skipping the step that decides whether anything will work.
