Male fertility treatment during an IVF journey can alter hormone levels and may coincide with temporary shedding or previously unnoticed male pattern hair loss. This guide explains how fertility medications, testosterone and DHT, telogen effluvium, and hair-loss treatments such as finasteride may overlap.
IVF may be followed by temporary diffuse hair shedding because hormonal shifts, procedures, nutritional factors, and physical stress can alter the hair cycle. Learn when shedding begins, how long it may last, and when another cause should be investigated.

The Ludwig scale classifies female pattern hair loss into three stages based on thinning across the crown. Learn what each stage looks like, what the scale cannot show, and how treatment is selected.
Chronic cutaneous lupus, particularly discoid lupus, can inflame and permanently damage scalp follicles. Learn how to recognize active disease, how it is diagnosed, and why early treatment is essential.
Trichotillomania is a body-focused repetitive behavior that causes hair loss through recurrent pulling. Learn how it presents, how clinicians distinguish it from other conditions, and how behavioral treatment can help.
Alopecia areata is an immune-mediated condition that commonly causes smooth patches of nonscarring hair loss. Explore its signs, diagnostic process, treatment options, prognosis, and potential for regrowth.
Androgenetic alopecia causes gradual, patterned thinning through progressive follicular miniaturization. Learn how it presents, how it may progress, and which medical, surgical, and cosmetic options may help.
Hair loss has been reported with trazodone, but it is not considered a common or predictable effect. Learn how medication-related shedding may appear, what else can cause it, and why treatment should not be stopped abruptly.
