Nizhny Novgorod trichologist Varenova revealed the main causes of hair loss.

      On August 3, 2025, at 10:56 [218] Society Nizhny Novgorod trichologist Tatiana Varenova shared an expert opinion on the causes of alopecia—a condition characterized by pathological hair loss. Her comment was published in the Telegram channel of the editor of "Stationary-Press," Alexey Nikonov. About 1 in 50 people worldwide face alopecia. Over 70% of them experience significant psychological difficulties: anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. "In the vast majority of cases—about 95%—the cause is increased sensitivity of hair follicles to dihydrotestosterone. Sometimes, hair loss can be related to autoimmune disorders," Varenova explained. Women often develop telogen effluvium—a temporary hair loss that occurs after stress or childbirth. Although the disease does not cause physical pain, it is difficult psychologically to endure. "People with alopecia face ridicule, social isolation, and sometimes discrimination at work," added the doctor. The trichologist emphasized that at the first signs of intensive hair loss, it is important to consult a specialist as soon as possible. Self-medication and belief in popular myths can only worsen the situation. Varenova warns against using dubious products with unproven effectiveness: shampoos with keratin or placenta; dietary supplements without a doctor's prescription and a systematic approach to treatment. Only comprehensive therapy under the supervision of a dermatologist-trichologist can provide sustainable results. Previously, Tatiana Varenova provided advice on scalp care to residents of Nizhny Novgorod with hair loss. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has a Telegram channel.
