Abstract

Hair loss is the one of the most common complaints in dermatologic patients. The proper cause of female pattern hair loss is still unclear. Many studies have been done on the individual patterns of hair loss but there are very few studies available about the different clinical patterns of hair loss in females in a single study. To evaluate the clinical patterns of hair loss in females which manifest in various disorders. 120 subjects were studied in a hospital based descriptive study with detailed history, general physical examination, detailed hair, scalp, cutaneous examination, clinical tests, routine haematological investigations, biopsy where indicated. Maximum subjects were in the age group of 20 – 40 years (66.6%). Majority of the subjects presented with a diffuse hair loss (55.8%). In our study although majority of the cases were not associated with any illness (52.5%), among the ones associated with illness the most common associated illness was history of COVID-19 (25.8%). Very few presented with scarring hair loss (5%). Telogen Effluvium was the most common cause of hair loss with maximum prevalence among females aged 20 to 40 years, with majority having hair loss over a period of 6 weeks to 6 month without any concurrent illness. The findings of this study provide baseline information on common clinical presentation of hair loss among women in our setting, thus helping in early clinical diagnosis and planning appropriate treatment.

女性脱发临床模式研究
脱发是皮肤科患者最常见的主诉之一。女性脱发的真正原因仍不清楚。关于脱发的个体模式已有很多研究,但关于女性脱发的不同临床模式的单一研究却很少。 为了评估女性脱发的临床模式(表现为各种疾病)。 在一项以医院为基础的描述性研究中,120 名受试者接受了详细的病史、一般体格检查、详细的头发、头皮、皮肤检查、临床测试、常规血液学检查以及必要时的活组织检查。 最大受试者年龄段为 20-40 岁(66.6%)。大多数患者表现为弥漫性脱发(55.8%)。在我们的研究中,虽然大多数病例未伴有任何疾病(52.5%),但在伴有疾病的病例中,最常见的伴发疾病是 COVID-19 病史(25.8%)。极少数患者伴有瘢痕性脱发(5%)。 脱发是最常见的脱发原因,在 20 至 40 岁的女性中发病率最高,大多数人的脱发时间为 6 周至 6 个月,没有并发症。这项研究的结果为我们提供了女性脱发常见临床表现的基本信息,从而有助于早期临床诊断和制定适当的治疗计划。
