Why do people suffer from Hair Loss?
You do not usually end life with the same bunch of hair
that you grew up with when you were born. Unlike the eyes
or nose, your hair keeps regenerating, shedding and
growing.
As you turn older, you start experiencing hair loss. This
natural process of ageing starts when you turn 50. However,
for some people the process starts much earlier. This
article examines the various causes of hair loss in men and
women.
#1 Stress and Lifestyle
The fast and hurried lifestyles of today make many
compromises on your diet. Emotional upheavals can cause
health complications that have an adverse impact on the
quality of your hair. Lack of cleanliness of the scalp and
excessive dandruff problems can also cause hair loss.
#2 Hormonal imbalances
Hair growth and health depends on hormones such as thyroid
and pituitary glands. Any disorders in these glands can
cause hair loss. The excessive presence of a component of
the male hormone - DHT can also cause hair loss. This is a
genetic predisposition.
#3 Genetic factors
Inherited causes of hair loss effect the unlucky that have
a family history of premature balding. In men, it is called
Male Pattern Baldness, in which the hair starts receding
first at the temples in a classic 'M' shape. In women, it
is called Female Pattern Baldness. This is less common. It
starts at age 30 and is characterized by overall thinning
of hair.
#4 Side effects
Certain drugs taken for other purposes can cause hair loss
as a side effect. The following is a possible list of
medicines and drugs that could cause
hair loss.
Cholesterol-lowering drugs
Ulcer drugs
Anticoagulants
Agents for gout
Drugs derived from Vitamin A
Anticonvulsants taken for epilepsy
Antidepressants
Blood thinners
Anabolic steroids
Chemotherapy Drugs
However, not all prescription drugs under these categories
have hair loss as a side effect. This has to be checked
with the doctor.
#5 Other factors
Research is being continuously conducted on the causes and
solutions for hair loss. Recently, Japanese scientists
concluded from studies that excessive sebum could clog the
hair roots and cause hair loss. An excessive intake of some
nutrients such as Vitamins A and E can actually promote
hair loss.
There is no dearth of solutions, prescriptions and
treatments available for hair loss. Every once in a while,
a new 'wonder' drug such as Rogaine will enter the market.
Not every solution will cure hair loss. The correct
diagnosis has to be made before deciding on a course of
action for hair loss.
