How Can You Recognize Hair Loss?
Hair follicles go through natural growth, resting, and shedding phases. This cycle is normal, but changes in the pattern may indicate excessive hair loss.
Pay attention when you notice more hair falling than usual, visible scalp areas or gradually thinning strands.
Hair loss can appear differently in different people. Some experience overall thinning, while others notice a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, a widening centre part or round bald patches.
Excessive Hair Shedding
Excessive hair shedding may become noticeable on your pillow, clothes or shower floor. It can sometimes begin weeks after an illness, fever, childbirth or rapid weight loss. This delay can make it difficult to identify the original cause.
Gradual hair thinning over several years may have different causes, including genetics and hormonal changes.
Diagnostic Tests Used to Identify Hair Loss
Doctors may use different diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause of hair loss. These tests help examine hair shedding, scalp conditions, and possible abnormalities in the hair shaft.
Pull test
Your doctor gently pulls several dozen hairs to see how many come out. This helps determine the stage of the shedding process.
Scalp biopsy
Your doctor scrapes samples from the skin or from a few hairs plucked from the scalp to examine the hair roots under a microscope. This can help determine whether an infection is causing hair loss.
Light microscopy
Your doctor uses a special instrument to examine hairs trimmed at their bases. Microscopy helps uncover possible disorders of the hair shaft.

Medications Used to Treat Hair Loss
Treating that condition is necessary if you are suffering from hair loss by an underlying disease or infection. If any specific medication is causing hair loss, your doctor will suggest you stop using it for some time.
Some medicines are also very effective in treating male pattern baldness; those include
- Minoxidil (Rogaine)
- Finasteride (Propecia)
In addition, some orally used medications include
- Spironolactone (Carospir, Aldactone)
- oral dutasteride (Avodart)
Minoxidil (Rogaine)
Minoxidil is a commonly used topical treatment for certain types of pattern hair loss. It is available in different formulations, including liquid and foam. It may help slow hair loss and support hair regrowth in suitable patients. Results usually take several months, and continued use is generally needed to maintain benefits. Possible side effects include scalp irritation, dryness, and unwanted facial hair growth. Consult a dermatologist before starting treatment.
Finasteride (Propecia)
Finasteride is a prescription tablet taken once daily for male pattern hair loss. It works by reducing DHT, a hormone that gradually shrinks hair follicles. Many men see their hair loss slow down, and some notice new growth, though results vary from person to person.
Improvement usually takes three to six months to appear, and the tablet must be continued to maintain the benefit. Some men may experience lower sex drive or difficulty with erections, and any such changes should be discussed with a doctor. The medicine can also affect PSA test results, so doctors should be informed before a prostate check. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets.
Dutasteride (Avodart)
Dutasteride is a prescription tablet taken once daily, mainly by men. It was originally developed to treat an enlarged prostate, but doctors sometimes prescribe it for male pattern hair loss, especially when finasteride has not given enough improvement. In most countries it is not officially approved for hair loss, so it is used “off-label” under medical supervision.
It works by lowering DHT, a hormone that shrinks hair follicles over time. Dutasteride blocks this hormone more strongly than finasteride. Results usually take several months to show, and the tablet needs to be continued to keep the benefit. Possible side effects include reduced sex drive, difficulty with erections, and breast tenderness. Women who are or may be pregnant should not handle broken or crushed capsules.
Spironolactone (Aldactone)
Spironolactone is a prescription tablet that was first used to manage fluid retention and high blood pressure. Because it also reduces the effect of male hormones (androgens), dermatologists may prescribe it for women with female pattern hair loss, particularly when acne, excess facial hair, or irregular periods are also present. This is also an off-label use, and it is not usually recommended for men.
Improvement is gradual and can take six months or more to notice. Possible side effects include irregular periods, breast tenderness, dizziness, and increased urination. It can also raise potassium levels in the blood, so your doctor may ask for regular blood tests. It must not be used during pregnancy.
Rare side effects of finasteride include diminished sex drive and sexual function and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Women who are or may be pregnant need to avoid touching crushed or broken tablets.
These medicines are prescription treatments. Please consult a qualified dermatologist before starting or stopping any of them.
