Hair Loss Solution
It is normal to shed a certain amount of hair every day. If hair falls out in more significant amounts than usual, it becomes a cause for distress and worry. While male and female pattern baldness is a primary cause of hair loss, there is a range of other reasons.
1.
Androgenetic alopecia: This is another term for male
or female pattern baldness. It is a very common cause of hair loss. This is
usually is genetic. Males tend to lose hair from the temples and crown of the
head. In females, hair usually becomes thinner all over the head. It is more
likely to happen as a person ages but can start at any point after puberty.
2.
Pregnancy: Some
women may experience excessive hair loss shortly after giving birth. This is
due to a decrease in estrogen levels.
3. Telogen effluvium: Telogen effluvium is a condition where the hair remains in the telogen (natural shedding) phase of the growth cycle. This causes more hair to fall out, sometimes in handfuls.
Some other possible causes include: severe stress, surgery, rapid weight loss, thyroid problems, certain medications, chemotherapy, radiation, nutritional deficiencies, birth control pills, fungal infections and autoimmune diseases.
