TLDR Timely treatments like PRP, topical, and drugs can effectively reduce hair loss.

The study in Sulaimani Governorate involved over 150 participants divided into three groups: PRP, topical applications, and pharmacological treatments, each with 50 individuals. It identified risk factors for hair loss, such as weight, height, BMI, familial history, recent surgeries, and anesthesia history. All treatment groups showed significant decreases in hair loss, demonstrating that timely interventions like PRP therapy, topical treatments, and pharmacological approaches can effectively mitigate hair loss. The study emphasizes the importance of identifying and managing contributing factors to hair loss.
