    GlossaryEarly Diagnosis

    identifying a disease or condition at its initial stage

    Early diagnosis refers to the identification of a disease or condition at an initial stage, often before symptoms become severe. This is crucial because it can lead to more effective treatment, better management of the condition, and improved outcomes for the patient. For example, in the context of alopecia, early diagnosis can help in identifying the underlying cause of hair loss and initiating appropriate treatments to potentially slow or reverse the condition.
