The problem of hair loss affects many people, and about half of trichologists' patients face this problem. Hair can fall out, become thinner, lose volume and grow slowly. It is important to determine the cause of this condition in order to choose the right treatment. One of the most common causes is a lack of iron and zinc, which is especially important for women of childbearing age. First of all, you should consult a doctor for tests and, if necessary, the prescription of supplements.

Nutrition also plays an important role in hair health. A lack of important elements such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals can negatively affect their condition. Particular attention should be paid to hormonal levels, since disruptions in this area can lead to hair loss. For example, an ovarian cyst is one of the diseases that can manifest itself through hair loss.

Research shows that by the age of 50, up to 30% of women notice a noticeable decrease in hair density. Men experience this problem even earlier, with hair loss being more pronounced and most often concentrated on the crown and temples. This is due to hormones, which affect hair in both men and women. Some women may experience hair problems due to hormone replacement therapy or birth control.

Alopecia areata is a sudden loss of hair in certain areas of the scalp caused by an autoimmune reaction. Although this condition may seem frightening, in most cases the hair is restored within 6-9 months. Stress and genetic predisposition can also play a role in this process.

For women, there are effective treatments for hair loss. Genetic hair loss can be successfully treated with hormone therapy, topical medications, and nutritional supplements. The key is to conduct a blood test to determine vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which will allow you to choose an individual treatment. It is important that the treatment process is carried out under the supervision of a doctor - a trichologist, gynecologist, or endocrinologist.

There are also alternative methods to combat hair loss. Some recommend giving up shampooing your hair altogether, believing that natural oils can restore its health. Although the results may not be immediate, after a few weeks the hair begins to look better. However, this method is not suitable for everyone and requires an individual approach depending on the hair type.
