“What causes Hair Fall?
Hair fall can be a result of some health issues. Hormonal changes, emotional or mental stress, change of environment, the quality of bathing water and diet in general can contribute towards hair fall.
- Thyroid– Thyroid problems cause hair loss in severe and prolonged cases. Since thyroid and alopecia areata are both autoimmune diseases, one can trigger the other. Hair fall due to thyroid can be treated once the underlying hormonal imbalance is fixed, although it can take some time for the hair to grow back.
- Hormonal changes including those that occur after childbirth, during menopause, hypothyroidism, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
- Emotional trauma like constant stress or grief due to loss of a family member/close friend.
- Nutritional deficiencies and anemiadue to a poor diet, or some other underlying health condition that prevents the absorption of nutrients can also cause hair fall. Main deficiencies include iron, zinc, protein and vitamin B3.
- Recovery from acute fevers like typhoid may lead to diffuse hair loss.
- Alopecia Areatais an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss in spots. In this condition, the immune cells of the body mistake the hair cells as a foreign substance and start destroying them. It is a common cause of hair fall in people under 20 years of age and is commonly found in people with autoimmune thyroid problems.
- Certain Drugs (like the ones used to treat high blood pressure, joint pains, cancer, or depression) can also cause hair fall as a side effect. For example, anagen effluvium refers to a condition of hair loss due to chemotherapy in a cancer patient. Chemotherapy drugs used as a part of cancer treatment damage hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
- Physical trauma/ injury to the head can also lead to hair fall in some cases.
- General diseases like diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis, or AIDS tend to cause hair fall due to decreased immunity and nutrition in the body.
- Certain hairstyles like tight braids or ponytails where the hair is tightly pulled back can lead to traction alopecia. Indiscriminate use of hair color and heating tools can damage the hair and lead to hair fall.
11.Trichotillomania is a mental disorder in which the affected person voluntarily pulls out his/her hair out of the scalp.
Hair Fall From Scalp Conditions
Many scalp conditions can lead to or contribute towards hair loss. Some of the major scalp conditions associated with hair fall include tinea capitis, lichen planus, eczema of the scalp (seborrheic dermatitis), scalp folliculitis and dandruff.”
“Male Pattern Baldness
What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male balding is a common problem, and surprisingly men tend to feel isolated when suffering from it. According to statistics, 40% of the men undergo noticeable hair loss by the age of 35. By the time they’re 80, they would have lost almost 80% of their hair. Homeopathy for hair loss works by strengthening the hair follicle and moderating the effects of the hormones associated with hair loss.
In young males, male pattern baldness typically begins from the frontal area and the crown. With age, it progresses towards the back of the head.
Anybody with a genetic predisposition towards baldness typically experiences a change in the hair-growth cycle, mostly caused due to the action of the hormone dihydrotestosterone. The hair falls naturally, but the new hair that is supposed to grow is thinner, shorter and has a lighter pigmentation. This means that although the hair continues to grow at the root, it is too thin to sustain. The rate of new hair growing as compared to the rate with which it falls is the main sign of male pattern baldness”
“According to a research, the prevalence of baldness increases with age. In terms of smoking, a comparison between people who have ‘never smoked’ and the ones who are smokers or who have quit, gave interesting results. Current smokers, or those who have quit, are almost twice as likely to experience moderate to severe hair loss. Further, a comparison between current smokers (who smoked less than 20 cigarettes a day) and those who earlier smoked but have quit, are not at an increased risk of baldness.
The intensity of smoking, therefore, is also related to the likelihood of baldness.
Smoking has adverse effects on many organ systems within the body. It leads to poor circulation of oxygen and essential nutrients through the blood, which leads to reduced hair and scalp health. Also, chemicals found in tobacco are toxic and can damage the hair follicles”
