Hair Loss Screening Test
Hair loss is a problem that causes a lot of distress and affects confidence. Normally, humans have an average of 100,000 strands of hair, and the hair will have a cycle of dying and falling out. Normally, hair loss is 50-100 strands per day, and it may fall out twice as much on the day you wash your hair.
Abnormal hair loss is often caused by internal factors that cause the hair root cycle to change its balance, such as internal illness, mineral deficiency, hormonal imbalance, or certain infections. Therefore, hair loss requires a blood test to find the cause of hair loss in every case, which will help find the real cause of hair loss and allow for targeted treatment.
What is a blood test to find the cause of hair loss?

Why do we need a blood test to find the cause of hair loss?
Since hair loss and thinning hair are not solely caused by genetics, sometimes there are internal diseases that are hidden in the body, which results in hair loss. If you treat the symptoms without looking for the real cause, the treatment may not be on point, resulting in poor results. Therefore, the Kesa team of doctors recommends blood tests to find the real cause of the disease in every case of abnormal hair loss.
If anyone is experiencing hair loss for no reason or excessive hair loss, the doctor recommends that you do not worry. You can come see a doctor for a physical examination, a trichoscope, and a blood test to find the cause of hair loss. Kesa Clinic offers free consultations with doctors, with no charge.
