Why diagnosing the cause matters
Hair loss in women is almost never just "one thing." Yet most women are told "it's stress" or given iron supplements without investigation. The six common causes in women — telogen effluvium, female pattern hair loss, hormonal conditions (PCOS, thyroid, hormonal contraception), nutritional deficiency, alopecia areata, and traction alopecia — each have distinct treatments, timelines, and prognoses.
The pattern of hair loss, its timeline, associated symptoms, and family history collectively paint a clear clinical picture — which is what this screener analyses. A diagnosis that leads to the right treatment can mean the difference between hair that recovers fully in 6 months and hair loss that continues for years untreated.
