At L2 Clinics, we provide doctor consultation to discuss and evaluate your hair loss, we can help establish diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment plans at the end of consultation. 

Here are some common causes and types of hair loss:

1. Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness): This is the most common cause of hair loss and is hereditary. In men, it typically starts with a receding hairline and bald spots on the crown. In women, it often results in thinning of the hair on the crown of the scalp.

2. Alopecia Areata: As mentioned earlier, this is an autoimmune condition that causes patches of hair loss on the scalp and sometimes other parts of the body.

3. Telogen Effluvium: This is a temporary form of hair loss that occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the resting phase of the hair growth cycle simultaneously, usually due to factors such as stress, illness, hormonal changes, or certain medications.

4. Trichotillomania: This is a psychological disorder characterized by the compulsive urge to pull out one's hair, leading to noticeable hair loss.

5. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, and biotin, can contribute to hair loss.

6. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders, lupus, and fungal infections of the scalp, can cause hair loss.

7. Medications: Some medications, including chemotherapy drugs, anticoagulants, and certain antidepressants, can cause hair loss as a side effect.

8. Stress: While stress itself may not directly cause hair loss, it can exacerbate existing conditions like alopecia areata or telogen effluvium.

Treatment for hair loss depends on the underlying cause. It may include medications to promote hair growth, or addressing underlying medical conditions or nutritional deficiencies. In some cases, hair transplantation surgery may be an option for restoring lost hair. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for individual cases of hair loss.
