Excessive thinning of hair on the top of a woman’s head may result from genetic factors, excessive stress related to work or studies, or underlying medical conditions. A definitive diagnosis requires a thorough evaluation at a hospital. For severe hair loss, treatment should target the underlying cause; hair transplantation surgery is also an option.
