In this video Dr. Erika talks about something that everyone has to deal with to some extent or another as they age: hair loss.  Many of us assume that hair loss is normal, but the fact of the matter is that hair loss, where you are actually losing hair in chunks is not acceptable.  When you are losing hair quickly chances are that there is a reason for it that a doctor can treat.

There is a difference between hair loss and a receding hair line.  While you will not have the same head of hair at 60 that you had at 20 you should never see large quantities of hair falling out at the same time.  Hair loss can be caused by a variety of problems, usually hormonal in nature, and you need to get with your doctor to get to the bottom of what the issue is.

Dr. Erika offers some valuable insight into hair loss and its causes and potential treatments in this video.
