| Hair loss can occur in various forms, each linked to different causes and patterns. The most common type is androgenetic alopecia, which leads to gradual thinning in both men and women. Alopecia areata causes sudden, patchy hair loss due to autoimmune activity. Telogen effluvium results from stress, illness, or hormonal changes, leading to excessive shedding. Traction alopecia occurs due to repeated pulling or tight hairstyles. Less common types include scarring alopecia, where inflammation damages hair follicles permanently. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Medicover Hospitals offers expert evaluation for all types of hair loss. |
