Everyone’s hair falls out every day. You may notice a few strands here and there or may not notice it at all. However, if you notice you are losing large clumps of hair, it could be cause for concern. As always, talk to your doctor about why you are losing hair. It could be related to a medical condition that needs medication or treatment. Let’s go over some of the common causes of hair loss, according to Medical News Today.
Androgenetic alopecia
It is another term for male or female pattern baldness and is perhaps the most common cause of hair loss. It tends to be genetic but could also be caused by hormones.
Pregnancy
After birth, a woman’s hair tends to start falling out or thinning. It is not a cause for concern and will start growing back over time. Hair may fall out due to a decrease in estrogen. Volumizing shampoos and conditioners can help, but really time will resolve this issue.
Telogen effluvium
This is a condition that causes hair to fall out in clumps because the hair stays in the natural shedding phase for too long. It is usually a temporary issue and could be caused by stress or other medical issues. Talk to your doctor.
Anagen effluvium
In this condition, large amounts of hair fall out during the growth phase. This could be caused by chemotherapy, fungal infections, or certain diseases. Your doctor may be able to prescribe a medication that can help stop the hair loss.
Alopecia areata
This is an autoimmune condition that causes hair to fall out very suddenly. Basically, the immune system is attacking the hair follicles and causing it to fall out.
Traction alopecia
This condition can be caused by pulling the hair into tight ponytails or braids. It could cause irreversible damage.
In addition, certain medications, infections, or nutritional deficiencies could cause hair loss. Birth control pills and ringworm in particular can cause hair loss. Your doctor can help you find the true cause of your hair loss and help you reverse it.
