Getting a formal diagnosis for your hair loss

It might have never happened to you before and you don’t know anybody else who has suffered from hair loss so it can seem really daunting and make you feel apprehensive about what is going on. However, there is no need to worry, many women in the UK suffer from hair loss during their lifetime and it can be caused by a number of different reasons.

In order to find out why you have suffering from hair loss, it would be worthwhile going to see your GP. Your doctor will be able to advise you on the type of hair loss that you are suffering with and the potential reasons why you are experiencing bald patches or thinning of the hair.

Once your doctor accurately diagnoses your hair loss, they can prescribe the necessary treatment and advise you on some lifestyle changes that could help to bring your hair back or halt the loss of any more hair.

Most women find it reassuring once they have visited their doctor and the doctor can answer all of the questions that have arisen as a result of the hair loss. Although it might be a stressful time, getting yourself stressed over your hair loss can result in you losing more hair.
