Hair Loss & Alopecia Treatment in Johor Bahru

Keguguran Rambut & Alopecia

Hair loss is a common concern among Malaysians of all ages, affecting both men and women. Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most prevalent cause in men, while female hair thinning is often linked to hormonal changes, iron deficiency, or thyroid disorders. Alopecia areata — patchy hair loss from autoimmune causes — also occurs frequently. Many causes are treatable, making early medical evaluation important.

Symptoms of Hair Loss & Alopecia

✓Gradual thinning on top of the head (pattern baldness)
✓Receding hairline in men
✓Widening parting line in women
✓Patchy round bald spots on the scalp (alopecia areata)
✓Excessive hair shedding — more than 100 strands daily
✓Thinning eyebrows or body hair (thyroid-related hair loss)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if hair loss is sudden, patchy, associated with fatigue or weight changes (possible thyroid), if you are a woman experiencing significant thinning, or if hair loss is affecting your wellbeing. Many causes are reversible with appropriate treatment when identified early.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah doctors investigate hair loss systematically. Blood tests include full blood count (iron deficiency anaemia), thyroid function (TSH, T4), ferritin, and hormonal levels where indicated. Scalp examination helps classify the type of hair loss. Treatment depends on the cause: iron supplementation for deficiency, thyroid medication for thyroid-related loss, topical minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia, and referral to a dermatologist for alopecia areata requiring steroid injections or immunotherapy.

What blood tests are done for hair loss?▼
Our doctors check full blood count, serum ferritin (iron stores), thyroid function (TSH), and in women, hormonal levels including DHEAS and prolactin where indicated. These tests identify the most common treatable causes of hair loss — iron deficiency and thyroid disorders.
Can hair loss from iron deficiency be reversed?▼
Yes, hair loss caused by iron deficiency anaemia typically improves with iron supplementation over 3–6 months. It is important to identify and treat the cause of iron deficiency (heavy periods, dietary insufficiency) alongside replacing iron stores. Our doctors will monitor your ferritin levels during treatment.
