HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and I would like to say that if you are male patient then this could be Male-Pattern-Baldness, and this could be just co incidence, you have not mentioned your age and gender here else I would have think accordingly, take care and have nice day (Hair fall is not due to lithotripsy )
