Diagnosis:

Before establishing a diagnosis, the doctor will probably do a physical exam and ask you about your medical history and family history. It can also perform tests, such as the following:

Blood test. This can help discover diseases related to hair loss.
Tensile test The doctor gently pulls several hairs to see how many come out. This helps determine the stage of the detachment process.

Biopsy of the scalp. The doctor takes samples of the skin or some hair pulled from the scalp to examine the roots of the hair. This can help determine if what is causing hair loss is an infection.
Optical microscopy. The doctor uses a special instrument to examine the hair trimmed at the bases. Microscopy helps to discover possible disorders of the hair shaft.

Treatment:

Some effective treatments for hair loss are available. You can reverse hair loss, or at least prevent its weakening. In some diseases, such as irregular hair loss (alopecia areata), hair can grow back without treatment within one year.

Hair loss treatments include medications and surgeries to promote hair growth and delay hair loss.

Medicines:

If hair loss is a result of an undiagnosed disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary. This may include medications to reduce inflammation and inhibit the immune system, such as prednisone. If a certain medication causes hair loss, your doctor may advise you to stop it for at least three months.

Medications are available to treat pattern baldness (inherited). Some options are:

• Minoxidil (Rogaine). This is an over-the-counter (over-the-counter) medication approved for men and women. It comes in liquid or foam form that rubs on the scalp every day. Wash your hands after applying it. At first you may lose hair. New hair may be shorter and thinner than previous hair. At least six months of treatment is needed to prevent further hair loss and for hair regrowth. You must continue with the application of the medicine to preserve the benefits.
• Possible side effects include scalp irritation, unwanted hair growth on the skin near the face and hands, and accelerated heart rate (tachycardia).

  Hair transplant surgery:
  
  In the most common type of permanent hair loss, only the upper part of the head is affected. A hair transplant or hair restoration surgery can help you get the most out of your hair.
  
  During a hair transplant procedure, a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon removes small patches of skin, each with one or several hairs, from the back or side of your scalp. Sometimes, a larger strip of skin that contains several hair groups is taken. Then, the doctor implants the hair, follicle by follicle, in the bald sections. Some doctors recommend using minoxidil after transplantation to help minimize hair loss. You may need more than one surgery to get the result you want. Over time, hereditary hair loss will continue to progress despite surgery.
  
  Surgical procedures to treat baldness are expensive and can be painful. Possible risks include bleeding and scars. 
• Finasteride (Propecia): This is a prescription drug approved for men. It is taken every day in the form of a pill. Many men taking finasteride have a decrease in hair loss, and some may have new hair growth. You must continue taking the medication to preserve the benefits. Finasteride may not work as effectively in men over 60.
