Hair Loss Due to Hormonal Imbalance occurs when changes in hormone levels disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, leading to excessive hair shedding, thinning, or reduced hair density. Hormonal changes can affect both men and women and may result from thyroid disorders, menopause, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), pregnancy, or other endocrine conditions. At Elegance Clinic in Adajan, Surat, Dr. Ashutosh Shah provides a detailed evaluation to identify hormone-related hair loss and create a personalized treatment plan.
Early diagnosis helps address the underlying hormonal imbalance and supports healthier hair growth.
