Hair Loss - Symptoms Treatment and Causes   


1)
What is hair fall?
Hair loss, also known as alopecia or baldness, refers to the loss of hair from the head or body part. Typically involves at least the head. The severity of hair loss can vary from a small area to the entire body. Swelling or scarring is usually not present. Hair loss causes psychological distress in some people.

What are the types of hair loss:
Hair growth rate slows as people age and is called isolation. There are many types of hair loss:

Evolutional alopecia- This is the natural gradual thinning of hair with age. There is an increase in the number of hair follicles that enter the resting phase and other hairs become shorter and shorter.
Androgenic alopecia- This genetic condition can affect both women and men. People who have this condition can start losing hair even in their teenage years. This is known as male-pattern baldness. It is marked by gradual hair loss from the front scalp and crown and hair line. Women affected by this have thin hair after their forties. This is known as female-pattern baldness and there is maximum hair loss near the crown.
Alopecia Arya - It usually starts suddenly and leads to hair loss in patches in young adults and children. It can cause total baldness (Alopecia Kulis). In more than 90% of people with the condition, hair grows back within a few years.
Trichotillomania- It is commonly observed in children. This psychological disorder causes a person to tier his hair.   


2)Telogen Effluvium- Changes in hair growth cycle are temporary thinning of hair on scalp. This is due to many hairs entering the resting phase which leads to hair shedding and consequent thinning.
Scarring alopecia- This leads to irreversible hair loss. Inflammatory conditions of the skin such as folliculitis, acne and cellulitis, resulting in the ability to regenerate hair, are destroyed. Tightly woven hair and hot combs can also result in irreversible hair loss.
Hormone- Abnormal androgen levels can also cause hair loss.
Genes - Genes from parents can increase the likelihood of a person with female or male pattern baldness.
Drugs- Blood thinners, cancer treatment drugs, birth control medications and beta blockers can cause hair loss.
Medical predisposition- Diabetes, lupus, iron deficiency, thyroid disease, anemia and eating disorders can cause hair loss. Usually, when the root cause of hair loss is treated, then the hair grows again.
