Excessive Hair Shedding Causes India
At Alloroots, a doctor-led clinic in India, excessive hair shedding is diagnosed and treated with privacy-focused care. Common causes include hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and environmental factors. Treatment options range from targeted therapies to surgical restoration. For chronic or pattern-related shedding, female hair loss treatment or long hair FUE transplant may be considered.
Key causes of excessive hair shedding in India
- Androgenic alopecia, hereditary thinning that often increases with age.
- Telogen effluvium, temporary shedding after illness, childbirth, or significant stress.
- Hormonal imbalances including PCOS, thyroid disorders, and DHT sensitivity.
- Nutritional deficiencies such as low iron, protein, vitamin D, or biotin.
- Environmental factors like pollution, hard water, and UV exposure.
- Medical treatments including chemotherapy and certain medications affecting hair growth cycles.
How diagnosis is approached
Diagnosis includes scalp and hair analysis, medical history review, and lab tests when needed. Dr. Alok Kumar Sahoo applies an evidence-led method to identify whether hair loss is temporary or permanent. Patient privacy is respected, with before-and-after images shown only with consent. This helps ensure treatments target root causes, not just symptoms.
For diffuse shedding, regenerative treatments such as microneedling for hair growth or PRP therapy can support follicle activity during recovery.
Treatment directions based on cause
- Hormonal imbalance managed with medical input and scalp therapies.
- Nutritional deficiency addressed through diet changes and supplements.
- Pattern hair loss treated with medication and hair transplantation.
- Stress-related shedding eased through lifestyle adjustments and supportive care.
- Environmental damage reduced with protective routines and targeted scalp care.
Hair transplantation options include body hair transplant and FUE methods when scalp donor hair is limited. Recovery time varies by individual.
