3 reasons to see a doctor when your hair starts falling out

Do you notice more intense hair loss? It’s time to see a doctor

It is important to address the problem of hair loss and the reasons for consulting a doctor. Excessive hair loss can be a worrying problem, and here are three reasons why you should see your doctor:

Alopecia areata

Sudden hair loss in circular areas can be a symptom of alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that affects the hair follicles. A doctor’s evaluation is critical to correctly diagnose this condition and initiate appropriate treatment.

Male or female pattern baldness

Baldness, in both men and women, can be the result of genetic factors. If you notice progressive hair loss over time, seeing a dermatologist can help you determine whether medical treatments, such as the use of minoxidil, finasteride, or laser therapies, are right for you.

Underlying health problems

Excessive hair loss can also be a sign of underlying health problems, such as thyroid disorders, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, or even excessive stress. A doctor can perform tests to identify any underlying conditions and recommend appropriate treatments.

Excessive hair loss can be a symptom of several conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to seek the advice of a doctor or dermatologist when you notice significant hair loss.
