During an exam at a hair loss hospital, your doctor will look at how your scalp and head of hair are growing, including identifying any patterns of thinning or baldness. He or she will ask you questions about your family history of hair loss and medications you take. Your doctor may do a blood test or a scalp biopsy, where a small sample of skin and hair are removed for laboratory testing to determine what is causing your thinning or baldness.서면탈모병원
Hair loss can be a symptom of a medical illness, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), syphilis, thyroid disease, iron deficiency or sex hormone imbalance. Hair loss is also a side effect of some drugs, such as lithium, beta-blockers, heparins, amphetamines and levodopa (Atamet, Larodopa, Sinemet).
Other causes of hair loss include significant emotional stress, wearing tight ponytails or cornrows; frequent use of hair dyes, gels, relaxers and hair sprays; or chronically rubbing or scratching your scalp. Your doctor will prescribe treatments that may help to prevent more hair loss or encourage regrowth of existing hair, such as oral and topical medications. Some require a prescription while others are available over-the-counter. Some of these medicines may cause drowsiness or stomach problems. If these are not helping you, your doctor can suggest more powerful hair restoration techniques. These can include a hair transplant, where patches of hair-bearing skin are removed from other areas of your body and moved to bald areas on your scalp.청담모바로의원
