Diagnosis of hair loss
If you're concerned about hair loss, it's best to talk to your doctor to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment. During your appointment, your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and medical history and examine your scalp to look for possible causes of your hair loss.
In some cases, your doctor may order laboratory tests to look for signs of conditions that can cause hair loss, such as thyroid disease or anemia. He or she may also recommend a scalp biopsy to determine if your hair loss is caused by a scalp disease.
If your doctor determines that your hair loss is caused by a medical condition, you will be prescribed specific treatment to address the underlying condition. If your hair loss is caused by aging or genetics, your doctor may recommend special products or treatments to help prevent hair loss.
Hair loss treatments
