What can be done about hair loss?
Many people seek treatment for hair loss, and there are several different types of treatment, which vary in effectiveness. Examples of treatment include taking medication to reduce hair loss, wearing a hairpiece, or having hair transplant surgery to cover bald areas. Research on medications that promote hair growth is ongoing, and more effective medications may become available soon.

Hair loss usually does not directly affect your physical health, although it may be a sign of a medical problem and it can be upsetting and influence your self-esteem.
