Since i was 16-17 years old I had experienced hair thinning. Over the years my hair has increasing got thinner and thinner. I am 28 years old now and just recently had micro bead hair extensions removed from 5 months of use. My hair is the thinnest it has ever been. There are no visible bald spots or anything. I am trying to determine what doctor I need to see to help me with my hair and determine if it’s a hormone imbalance.

Answer: Hair thinning There is a difference of opinions you will find. My advice is start with a general physician. If your periods are regular and you don’t have acne, or increased hair on the face, it’s unlikely an endocrine problem. Some endocrinologists don’t see many patients with hair loss and some dermatologists don’t see many patients with hair loss. The key is to find someone in your geographical area who sees alot of patients with hair loss.

Answer: Hair loss recommendation I would advise you seek out a hair loss specialist who can order basic labs (that will help determine if you have specific hormone imbalances that you would need to see an endocrinologist for), as well as examine your scalp and evaluate your history in order to determine all the contributing factors for your hair loss. Once a diagnosis is made, various treatment options can be discussed. There is typically multiple factors involved in female hair loss, and usually a multi-treatment approach is best. Good luck!!
