Reasons for Hair Loss
Alopecia, which is a term used to describe thinning hair and hair shedding, is incredibly common and a number of contributing factors lead to this condition.
While less common, telogen effluvium is another source of hair loss, which is typically caused by mental or physical stress. This temporary condition generally leads to hair falling out on the top of the head, often at the hair part. Some vitamin deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, and anemia may also lead to hair loss in women.
In addition, hormonal changes, particularly those experienced during pregnancy or menopause can lead to temporary hair fall, as can the use of medications such as antidepressants. In the event that you notice a sudden change, it is advisable to discuss potential health-related causes of hair loss with your primary physician.
…Hair loss has a strong genetic component Research has shown that androgenetic alopecia, or AGA, is partially or heavily influenced by genetics and tied to gender. This means that males can pass the baldness trait directly to their male offspring. While the vast majority of alopecia causes are genetic, there is also an environmental aspect.
