Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is the partial or complete loss of hair from areas of the body where hair normally grows. It can affect the scalp as well as other parts of the body. Hair loss can occur gradually over time or suddenly, and its severity can vary from mild thinning to complete baldness. Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, medical conditions, hormonal changes, medications, and lifestyle factors. There are different types of hair loss, each with its own characteristics:
Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness): This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting both men and women. It is often hereditary and is characterized by a gradual thinning of hair on the scalp. In men, it often leads to a receding hairline and bald spots on the crown, while in women, the hair thins throughout the scalp.
