What is Female hair loss?

Female hair loss sits within the hair growth area that Hi-Doctor covers. Our doctors review your case individually — not through an algorithm — and propose a therapeutic approach when indicated.

How is Female hair loss evaluated in an online consultation?

You fill in a hair growth-oriented medical questionnaire (~5 min). An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical history, current medication, allergies and background in less than 2 hours on average. If clarifications are needed, they message you via the private chat in your account.

How long until you see results?

It depends on the case. For hair growth, reasonable timelines are explained during the consultation and follow-up lives inside the private chat. The full medical record stays in an auditable thread inside your account.

Can I consult for Female hair loss from Belgium?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Belgium you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid at any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

How does a doctor evaluate a hair-loss case in an online consultation?

Through the pattern of loss, how long it has been progressing, family history and current medication. In some cases we ask for scalp photos. The doctor proposes a tailored treatment plan and adjusts it to your tolerance.

What is the private electronic prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

HAIR GROWTH

Female hair loss

The approach in women carries hormonal nuances. The doctor reviews your full case before suggesting any treatment.

WHAT IT IS

Hair loss in women can have multiple causes, from genetic factors to hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies. Unlike the typical male pattern, hair loss in women is usually diffuse, with generalised thinning on the top of the scalp without complete loss of the frontal hairline.

Differential diagnosis is essential, as the causes can be varied. The doctor assesses the case comprehensively, including hormonal and nutritional tests if necessary, before proposing any intervention.

HOW COMMON IT IS

Affects a significant number of women, especially after menopause, and is one of the most common dermatology consultation reasons.

CAUSES

Genetic predisposition (female androgenetic alopecia)
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)
Nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, vitamin D)
Chronic stress
Thyroid disorders
Long-term use of certain medications

TREATMENT APPROACHES

Topical or oral minoxidil as first-line treatment
Management of underlying causes (deficits, thyroid)
Hormonal therapies when indicated
Personalised nutritional support
Medical follow-up to assess response

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

If you notice progressive thinning or hair loss that concerns you, the doctor assesses the possible causes and recommends the most suitable approach for your profile.
