Is Hair Loss an Indication of a Health Issue?

Is [tag]hair loss[/tag] an indication of a health issue?

It can be, but not necessarily.   Hair loss can be caused by many things, most common of which is [tag]androgenic alopecia[/tag] more commonly referred to as female or [tag]male pattern baldness[/tag].   This is not indicative of a health problem or concern.

Other non-genetic  causes of [tag]baldness[/tag] conditions however, can be caused by health related issues such as a poor diet, traumatic stress, scalp infections such as dermatitis or psoriasis, iron deficiency, a thyroid condition, etc.   Certain types of [tag]alopecia[/tag] can even be caused by certain medications or can be a reaction to a hormonal change in the body.

A  dermatologist or hair loss doctor  will be able to find the cause of your balding condition and recommend the best treatment option for you.
