Baldness in women is easy to recognize. Therefore, it is important to contact a doctor for its diagnosis. Health experts can ask about the medical history of the woman suffering from baldness, such as - when the problem of hair fall starts and whether anyone else in the family has the problem of hair fall. After all this information, the doctor can use a special instrument called a densitometer to examine the scalp. Through this, the thickness of the hair follicles is measured. Apart from this, the following tests can also be done -

  • Hair samples can be sent to the lab for testing.
  • A scalp biopsy can be done to check skin diseases.
  • It may be advisable to get a blood test done.
