What Is Hair Loss?
Hair loss, or alopecia, is when a person experiences excessive hair shedding, leading to thinning or baldness. It can affect the scalp or other body parts and be temporary or permanent. Hair loss can impact self-esteem and overall appearance.
What Are the Causes of Hair Loss?
Hair loss can be caused by:
- Genetics: Hereditary hair loss, known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss, affecting both men and women.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances, such as those during pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid problems, can cause temporary hair loss.
- Medical Conditions: Alopecia areata, scalp infections, and autoimmune diseases can lead to hair loss.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as those used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure, can cause hair loss as a side effect.
- Stress: Physical or emotional stress can trigger temporary hair loss, known as telogen effluvium.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients, such as iron, protein, and vitamins, can lead to hair thinning and loss.
