Medical Evaluation & Treatment for Male and Female Hair Loss
At Reflex Medical Centre, we provide physician-supervised evaluation and treatment for hair loss in both men and women.
Hair thinning can occur due to genetics, aging, hormonal changes, stress, or medical conditions. Our goal is to identify the underlying cause and offer safe, evidence-based treatment options tailored to your health profile.
Medical Assessment for Hair Loss
Hair loss is often a symptom of an underlying condition. During your consultation, our physicians assess:
- Medical history
- Family history of hair loss
- Hormonal factors
- Thyroid function
- Iron levels
- Nutritional status
- Postpartum changes
- Medication side effects
Laboratory testing may be recommended when appropriate.
A proper medical diagnosis is essential before starting treatment.
Male Pattern Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)
Male hair loss is commonly genetic and may begin as:
- Receding hairline
- Thinning at the crown
- Progressive scalp hair loss
Treatment options may include:
- Prescription medications
- Topical therapies
- Hormonal evaluation
- Ongoing monitoring
Early treatment improves long-term outcomes.
Female Hair Loss
Women may experience:
- Diffuse thinning
- Widening hair part
- Hormonal-related shedding
- Postpartum hair loss
- Perimenopausal changes
Female hair loss often has multiple contributing factors, including hormonal shifts, thyroid imbalance, stress, or nutritional deficiency.
Our physicians perform a careful assessment before recommending treatment.
Postpartum Hair Loss
Postnatal hair shedding is common and usually temporary. However, excessive or prolonged hair loss may require medical evaluation.
We assess:
- Iron levels
- Thyroid function
- Hormonal balance
- Nutritional recovery after pregnancy
Treatment recommendations are individualized and safe for postpartum patients.
Age-Related Hair Thinning
As patients age, hair density may naturally decline. This may affect both men and women.
Medical evaluation can determine whether the thinning is age-related or caused by a treatable condition.
Treatment Options May Include
Depending on diagnosis and suitability:
- Prescription medications (when appropriate)
- Topical therapies
- Nutritional supplementation
- Hormonal evaluation
- Ongoing monitoring
All treatments are prescribed and supervised by licensed physicians.
