Causes Of Hair Loss Could Be Reversed
All over the world, men and women lose hairs throughout each day, but many experience more hair loss than normal and wonder what is causing their hair to fall out. The average hairs lost by most people range from 50 to 100 daily. With the pressure put on us through society's emphasis on appearance, balding is frightening to many people.
Many men and women will suffer from some form of excessive hair loss during their lives and the causes will be different. Most causes can be treated and reversed, but others may not be preventable. Causes of baldness are so vast they can range from stress and hormonal changes to genes that are inherited.
Both sexes suffer from baldness but they suffer in different ways. Males usually suffer from male patterned baldness which is noted by the pattern of balding from the hairline along the forehead to the crown of the head. Females seem to loose hairs all over their heads in what is referred to as thinning. The following are a list of possible causes of excessive shedding or hair loss.
Hormonal Changes:
Hormone levels play a pivotal role in hair production, having effects such as hair growth promotion or shedding. These hormone changes have an effect on both sexes, male and female. A great many women experience thinning hair after having a baby, due to the imbalance in their hormonal levels. However, this problem generally dissipates rapidly when the hormone levels return to normal. The male hormone, Androgenetic alopecia is a common culprit as far as male hair problems, and occasionally women are concerned.
Stress:
Many times stress can cause hair reduction. Stress can result from major happening in ones life, ranging from money problems, marriage troubles to surgery and illness. Once stressful situations pass, hair loss usually gets better.
Thyroid Disease:
Having experience with hair loss because of Thyroid disease I know this can be treated pretty easily. However, when your thyroid doesn't function correctly you would be amazed at what all in your body can be affected. My main concern was my hair. Following childbirth I noticed my hair beginning to thin rather quickly. Following pretty easy testing I was diagnosed with thyroid disease and given some medication. After a few months of taken the medicine my shedding slowed and my hair began to grow back.
Major Sickness:
Many times patients who suffer from chronic illnesses suffer from balding and the issue may not be reversible.
Infections:
Ringworm, a localized infection most notable by its round shape can cause baldness throughout the head, but can be treated.
Insufficient Diets:
People may suffer from excessive hair loss if they partake in a low protein diet, have really bad eating habits, or somehow have suffered from in adequate amounts of protein in the body. This deficiency is most noticeable by being able to pull hair out by the roots pretty easily. Re-introducing protein to ones diet could help to prevent this issue.
Iron Deficiency:
Not having enough iron in your blood can also cause balding or shedding. This is usually pretty easy to detect through a routine blood test and can be treated by iron pills or through introducing certain foods into your diet.
Prescription Drugs:
A low percentage of people may suffer from hair reduction when using certain medications. Medications used to treat blood pressure problems, heart issues, depression, and arthritis along with excessive vitamin A may cause problems with excessive shedding.
There are probably several more reasons for baldness including a habit of pulling on your hair, ones immune system fight against the hair follicles, and the things we do to our hair, such as dying, straightening and perms.
Women and men across the world suffer from some form of hair reduction during their lives. The causes of hair loss range vastly. Many times there is a treatment for hair loss, once the cause has been diagnosed. Seek medical advice if you notice your hair thinning more than normal.
