How long have you had these symptoms?

Have you been to a doctor(s) about the symptoms -- if so, what did they say?

Over time, are the symptoms becoming more frequent -- less frequent -- or staying about the same?

Have you noticed any pattern about the symptoms -- such as what makes them start/stop -- get better/worse-- become more/less frequent?

Do you have any other health problems -- if so, what are they?

Other than those you listed -- what, if any supplements/vitamins/over-the-counter medications/prescription medications do you take?

Thanks in advance.

There are many causes of hair loss in both men and women. Among them are: genetics, stress, disease and chemicals.

Treatment hair loss will, of course, depend on its cause. Treatments may include steroids, or hair re-growth drugs such as Rogaine. If the cause of hair loss involves disease, the underlying disease must be treated -- after which, hair growth often resumes.

I recommend that you see a dermatologist to have your hair loss evaluated, diagnosed and appropriately treated.
