Women can experience major shedding after childbirth, thyroid changes, iron deficiency, stress or medication shifts. The pattern is often different from male hairline recession.
A transplant should not be the first answer when the whole scalp is shedding. Stabilization and diagnosis come first.
Useful questions include when shedding started, whether cycles or pregnancy changed recently, and whether fatigue, cold sensitivity or weight changes are present.
TrichoTest can support the broader assessment, but diffuse female hair loss should still be discussed with a clinician.
