TLDR Different types of hair loss can be caused by hormones, stress, autoimmune disorders, illness, or nutritional deficiencies, and can be treated with medication, nutritional supplements, or hair transplantation.
The document from December 31, 2019, discussed various types of alopecia, a hair loss condition affecting all generations and genders worldwide. The most common type is Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA), caused by the demineralization of hair roots due to the hormone dyhydrotesterone, which begins secreting at puberty. Other types include Alopecia Areata, Scarring Alopecia, and Anagen and Telogen Effluvium. Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Universalis, and Alopecia Totalis are stress-induced and linked to autoimmune disorders. Scarring Alopecia destroys hair follicles, while Anagen and Telogen Effluvium result from diffuse hair loss due to prolonged illness or severe nutritional deficiencies. Treatments include PRP, stem cell derivatives, Finasteride group drugs, and nutritional supplements. Hair transplantation, specifically Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), was also mentioned as a successful treatment option.
