An Observational Survey on the Quality of Life and Social Impact of Tuberculosis Patients in Dhaka City

Abstract

Hair loss, also known as alopecia or baldness, occurs when hair begins to thin or fall out on the scalp or elsewhere on the body. The average injury involves at least the head. Hair loss might affect only a tiny patch of skin or the full body. Neither inflammation nor scarring are usually seen. Some people experience severe psychological upset when they lose their hair. Alopecia areata, which affects women, and telogen effluvium, which causes hair thinning, are the most common types of hair loss. Male-pattern baldness is due to a mix of heredity and male hormones, female-pattern baldness has a more mysterious origin, alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder, and telogen effluvium is usually triggered by stress. After giving birth, many women get telogen effluvium. Hair loss without inflammation or scarring can also be caused by pulling out hair, albeit this is a less common reason. Chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS, hypothyroidism, malnutrition (iron deficiency), and other conditions and drugs can cause hair loss. Hair turns grey or white as a result of chemical and structural changes. As we become older, our hair gradually changes color. It normally begins at the Temples, spreads to the back of the head, and finally affects every hair on the head. Nearly two-thirds of women in their forties are affected by this, while only around half of males experience it at this age. The loss of hair can be treated with a variety of methods, including the use of natural products, Topical Immunotherapy, and Minoxidil 5% The natural plants that are used in hair-care specialties can be categorized as follows:(I) Hair-chemical plants; (ii) hair-coloring plant operators (sick) Plants (III) used to prevent dandruff and (Iv) used to improve hair's health and stimulate its growth.
