Causes of Hair Loss

Nov 28, 2009 - Video: Hair loss Treatment   When someone realizes they are experiencing excessive hair loss, a struggle for an explanation usually ensues.  Several causes can contribute to the condition, but a few factors tend to stand above the rest.  Recent surgeries, illnesses or medications, improper hair care, and diet can all be factors in the hair loss you’re experiencing.   If you have recently had surgery or recovered from a major illness, the hair loss associated with it is probably due to stress and thus a temporary condition.  As your body resumes its normal state, stress levels will even out and hair growth will return to normal states.   Hormone imbalances from pregnancy or thyroid conditions may also cause hair loss.  Androgens and estrogens can become out of balance with a thyroid condition unchecked.  Usually, normalizing hormones with thyroid medication will stop the loss.  Many pregnant women notice hormone-related loss during and shortly after their pregnancy.  As time goes on, and hormones return to normal levels, the loss will stop and normal hair growth cycles will resume. - 0 Comments
