Hair Loss & Thinning

What Causes Hair Loss and Thinning?

Hair loss can result from hereditary pattern loss, hormonal changes, thyroid disease, nutrient deficiency, illness, stress, medications, scalp disorders, or autoimmune disease.

How Is It Evaluated?

Assessment includes onset, pattern, shedding, scalp symptoms, health and medication history, and laboratory testing when appropriate. Scarring or complex cases may require dermatology referral.

What Treatment Options Are Available?

Care depends on the cause and may include topical treatment, correction of contributing factors, hormone or thyroid management, medical therapy, or specialist coordination.

Why am I suddenly shedding more hair?

Sudden diffuse shedding can follow illness, stress, weight change, medication changes, nutritional deficiency, or hormonal shifts. Evaluation helps identify the trigger.

Elizabeth’s Approach

Hair loss deserves a careful history and examination because hormones, thyroid function, nutrition, medications, inflammation, and genetics can overlap. Explore medical dermatology and hormone evaluation and related options.

Aftercare and Next Steps

Use topical or oral treatment consistently and complete laboratory monitoring when ordered. Hair response is gradual. Report scalp pain, sudden shedding, medication reactions, or new symptoms promptly.
