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 tests which comprises of tests:

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: TSH test is an essential parameter for understanding the functioning of the thyroid gland. This, inadvertently, paves the way for troubles like hair loss. You will note uniformly sparse hair growth.
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.
