What Causes Hair Loss?
By David Chandler
Hair loss is a common problem faced by many people all around
the world. There are various reasons behind hair loss. Let us
look at some of the major causes and their remedies:
Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is
under active or overactive, you will suffer the problem of hair
loss. This hair loss generally can be cured by treatment of the
thyroid disorder. Hair loss may occur if androgens (male
hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) are out of balance.
Clinical treatment of hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.
Pregnant women may notice hair loss problems with in a period
of about 3 months after delivery. Hair loss problem is also
related to hormones. During pregnancy, high levels of particular
hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall
out. When the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, that
hair falls out and the normal growth and loss cycle starts again.
Some medicines (mainly sulphur drugs) can cause hair loss. This
type of hair loss problem improves when you stop taking the
medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include
anticoagulants (also known as blood thinners), medicines
utilized in chemotherapy to treat cancer, medicines used for
gout, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth control pills, and
antidepressants.
If you have undergone a major operation or have suffered a
prolong illness you can face the problem of hair loss. However,
this hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is
temporary.
Certain fungal infections can cause hair loss. Generally, children
may have hair loss problems caused by a fungal infection of the
scalp. This type of fungal infection can be easily treated with
antifungal medicines.
Conclusively, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying
disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an
early sign of a disease, it is important to consult a specialist to
detect the cause so that it can be treated at an early stage.
