Losing your luscious locks can be stressful. Individuals who pride themselves on their appearance and long, lustrous hair may feel conscious about hair loss.

There are many different hair loss patterns, including hair thinning, sudden hair loosening, or circular bald batches. While some amount of hair loss and hair thinning, around 50-100 hair strands, is normal for every person, if it's happening in excess, it's a thing of concern.

Hair loss in women can be due to several reasons, such as:

• Severe stress
• Ageing
• Rapid, unintentional weight loss
• Radiation or chemotherapy
• The side effect of medicines for heart problems, birth control, gout and depression
• Hair trauma due to tight hairstyles
• Skin conditions such as folliculitis or psoriasis
• Medical conditions like major infections or thyroid troubles
• Poor nutrition and low protein or iron levels
• Baldness due to hormonal or genetic factors

If you are worried about your voluminous and consistent hair fall, talk to your physician about it. They are likely to run a hair fall test to determine the cause of the hair loss.

Apollo 24/7 offers extensive and advanced hair fall test for women, which comprises 51 tests:

• Thyroid Profile: This test measures your thyroid levels. If there is a severe imbalance in T3, T4 and TSH levels, it can cause hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. This, inadvertently, paves the way for troubles like hair loss. You will note uniformly sparse hair growth.
• Vitamin B12: This vitamin is vital for hair growth and maintains a necessary RBC level. If these oxygen-carrying cells are low, it can leave your scalp undernourished. Eventually, your locks will become brittle and weak, causing worrisome hair fall. So, this test measures the amount of vitamin B12 in your bloodstream.
• Vitamin D - 25 hydroxy (D2+D3): Several studies have concluded that vitamin D deficiency is associated with hair loss. If your body has low Vitamin D, it cannot stimulate both old and new hair follicles, causing a growth stunt. The test determines the number of Vitamin D in your body. 
• Iron Serum: Hair loss can have many reasons, one of which could be a lack of enough iron, leading to bald patches on your scalp. The test considers the iron levels present in your blood to rule out iron deficiency as the cause of hair fall. 
• Complete blood count (CBC): This test checks for haemoglobin, PCV, MCV, MCH, MHCH, RBC count, RDW, differential leucocytic count, total leucocyte count and absolute leucocyte count. If any of these components are found in imbalance, it can be the leading cause of hair fall and baldness.
• FSH,LH & Prolactin, Serum: It is a group of tests that evaluate the health of a woman's reproductive organs. The test checks the levels of FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone), LH (Luteinizing hormone) and Prolactin. High levels of prolactin can inhibit hair growth.
• Testosterone - Free: This test assesses the testosterone level in the blood. It is a hormone present in both men and women and when the levels fluctuate it can cause hair loss in both male and female.
• Lipid Profile: This test checks the level of triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol and total cholesterol in blood. High levels of LDL can not only cause heart problems but also trigger hairfall.
