Hair Fall ? How to control. Dr Sandesh Gupta Dermatologist and Hair Specialist.

Hair fall can have various causes and treatments. Here are some common causes and treatments:
Causes of Hair Fall:
1. **Genetic Factors**: The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness.
2. **Hormonal Changes**: Hormonal imbalances due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid problems can cause hair loss.
3. **Medical Conditions**: Conditions such as alopecia areata (an autoimmune disorder), scalp infections, and diseases like lupus can lead to hair loss.
4. **Medications**: Certain drugs used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure can cause hair loss.
5. **Stress**: Physical or emotional shock can trigger hair loss, known as telogen effluvium.
6. **Diet and Nutrition**: Poor nutrition or deficiencies in vitamins and minerals can lead to hair thinning and loss.
7. **Hairstyling Practices**: Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair tight can lead to a type of hair loss called traction alopecia.
Treatments for Hair Fall:
1. **Medications**:
- **Minoxidil**: An over-the-counter topical treatment that stimulates hair growth.
- **Finasteride**: A prescription medication for men that reduces hair loss.
2. **Surgical Procedures**:
- **Hair Transplant Surgery**: Moving hair follicles from one part of the body to the thinning area.
- **Scalp Reduction**: Removing bald areas of the scalp.
3. **Laser Therapy**: Low-level laser therapy can help reduce inflammation and promote hair growth.
4. **Lifestyle and Home Remedies**:
- **Diet**: Ensuring a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamins A, B, C, D, iron, zinc, and proteins.
- **Stress Management**: Practices such as yoga, meditation, and regular exercise.
5. **Hair Care**: Using gentle shampoos and avoiding tight hairstyles, excessive heat, and harsh chemical treatments.
6. **Supplements**: Biotin and other hair growth supplements might help, but it's best to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplements.
If you're experiencing significant hair loss, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist or a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
