hair loss

Hair loss, or alopecia, refers to the thinning or complete loss of hair on the scalp or other areas of the body. It can result from various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, medical conditions, and certain medications. The most common type is androgenetic alopecia, often called male or female pattern baldness. Hair loss can affect self-esteem and is often a concern for both men and women. While some types may be temporary, others can be permanent. Treatments range from lifestyle changes and medications to surgical options, depending on the cause and severity.
