    hair loss occurring evenly on both sides of the body

    Symmetrical Alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs in a balanced, mirror-image pattern on both sides of the body. This type of hair loss can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetic predispositions, or underlying medical conditions. It is often seen in both humans and animals, and its symmetrical nature can help healthcare professionals diagnose the underlying cause more accurately.
