General Hair Loss Evaluation in Hyderabad

Are you experiencing hair loss and unsure of the cause or the best course of action? “General Hair Loss” can encompass a wide range of conditions, from temporary shedding to progressive thinning or patchy loss. Identifying the specific type and underlying cause is the crucial first step towards effective treatment. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, we offer a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for all forms of hair loss, leading to a personalised and effective management plan.

Understanding General Hair Loss

Hair loss is not a single entity but a symptom that can arise from various factors affecting the hair growth cycle, follicle health, or scalp condition. A systematic approach is needed to pinpoint the cause.

  • The Hair Growth Cycle: Hair grows in cycles (Anagen – growth, Catagen – transition, Telogen – resting/shedding). Disruptions to this cycle are a common cause of hair loss.
  • Diverse Causes: Can range from genetic predispositions and hormonal imbalances to nutritional deficiencies, stress, medical conditions, medications, or scalp diseases.
  • Importance of Accurate Diagnosis: Different types of hair loss require different treatment approaches. What works for one type may be ineffective or even detrimental for another.

Types & Causes of Hair Loss We Evaluate

Our comprehensive evaluation covers, but is not limited to:

  • Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Loss): Genetically determined, hormonally influenced thinning in men and women.
  • Telogen Effluvium: Diffuse shedding triggered by stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal shifts (e.g., postpartum).
  • Alopecia Areata: Autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss.
  • Scarring Alopecias (Cicatricial Alopecias): Inflammatory conditions that destroy hair follicles, leading to permanent loss.
  • Traction Alopecia: Hair loss due to persistent pulling from tight hairstyles.
  • Trichotillomania: Compulsive hair pulling.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Iron, Vitamin D, Zinc, Biotin, Protein.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Thyroid disorders, PCOS.
  • Scalp Conditions: Severe Seborrheic Dermatitis (dandruff), Psoriasis, Fungal Infections (Tinea Capitis).
  • Medication-Induced Hair Loss.
  • Hair Shaft Abnormalities.

Our Comprehensive Approach to General Hair Loss Evaluation in Hyderabad

We believe in a meticulous, science-backed diagnostic process:

Gathering crucial information about your health, medications, diet, stress levels, hair care practices, and family history of hair loss.

Visual inspection of the pattern of hair loss, scalp condition, and hair shaft quality.

Using a specialised dermatoscope with magnification to examine hair follicles, density, miniaturisation, scalp inflammation, and other microscopic signs, aiding in precise diagnosis.

To assess the severity of active shedding.

Ordered as needed to investigate potential underlying causes like nutritional deficiencies (ferritin, vitamin D, B12, zinc), thyroid dysfunction, or hormonal imbalances.

In complex or ambiguous cases, especially if a scarring alopecia is suspected, a small biopsy may be taken for histopathological analysis.

Clearly explaining the diagnosed condition, its causes, and prognosis.

Developing a tailored management plan based on the confirmed diagnosis.

Treatment Options (Depend on Diagnosis)

Once a diagnosis is established, treatment may involve:

  • Medical Management (Topical solutions like Minoxidil, oral medications like Finasteride, nutritional supplements, etc.)
  • Advanced Hair Growth Therapies (GFC, QR678®, Exosomes, Mesotherapy, LLLT)
  • Scalp Health Treatments (Medicated shampoos, scalp peels, HydraFacial Keravive™)
  • Surgical Options (Hair Transplant for suitable candidates with certain types of loss)
  • Lifestyle and Dietary Counselling

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The first and most important step is to consult a qualified dermatologist or trichologist for an accurate diagnosis. Self-treating without knowing the cause can be ineffective or delay proper treatment.

Through a combination of detailed history taking, physical examination of your hair and scalp (often with trichoscopy), and potentially blood tests or a scalp biopsy if needed.

No. Many types of hair loss, like Telogen Effluvium or that due to nutritional deficiencies, are temporary and hair can regrow once the underlying cause is addressed. Other types, like advanced Androgenetic Alopecia or Scarring Alopecias, can involve permanent loss if not managed early.

Normal blood tests rule out certain systemic causes, but hair loss can still be due to genetic factors (like Androgenetic Alopecia), autoimmune conditions (Alopecia Areata), localised scalp conditions, or other factors not always reflected in standard blood work. Trichoscopy often provides key diagnostic clues in such cases.
