    The document discussed the complexities of diagnosing and treating hair loss (alopecia) and excessive hair growth in women (hirsutism). It explained that while losing about 100 hairs per day is normal due to the asynchronous growth phases of hair follicles, excessive hair loss can have various causes, including hormonal, psychosomatic, autoimmune, dietary, or paraneoplastic factors. The document highlighted that due to the diverse causes of alopecia, treatment cannot be standardized into a single algorithm.
