Hair loss is also known a alopecia or baldness.
Factors involved in hair loss include: hormones, heredity, diet, nutrition, and the
aging process. Some research even
indicates that possibly in some cases the body's immune system thinks hair follicles are foreign
tissue and attacks them. A common form of hair loss is AGA "androgentic alopecia" also known
as male pattern baldness. As its name indicates there is a genetic aspect to this form of hair loss
involving male sex hormones called androgens. People who have AGA could have receptors that slow down or
stop hair production under the influence of androgens. Women can have hair loss however
normally not as much and usually after menopause. In addition to genetic causes to hair loss
are other factors such as: poor circulation, acute illness, surgery, radiation exposure, skin
disease, sudden weight loss, diabetes, thyroid disease, stress, poor diet, and vitamin deficiencies.

A number of things
can cause too much hair loss. For example, about 3 or 4
months after an illness or a major surgery, you may suddenly
lose a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the stress
of the illness and is most likely just temporary. Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid
gland is overactive or underactive,
your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped
by treatment of the thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if
male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are
out of balance. Correcting, the hormone imbalance problem may stop your
hair loss.
Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've
had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones. During
pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones cause the body to
keep hair that would normally fall out. When the hormones
return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair falls out and the
normal cycle of growth and loss starts again.
Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss
improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can
cause hair loss include blood thinners also called
anticoagulants for cardiovascular
problems , medicines used for gout,
medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer,
birth control pills and antidepressant drugs used for depression.
Certain types of infections can cause hair loss. Children may have
hair loss caused by a fungal
infection of the scalp. The infection is easily treated
with anti-fungal medicines. Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying
disease, such as lupus or diabetes.
Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is
important to find the cause so that it can be treated. Good
nutritional supplementation can help with all causes of hair
loss and related health health issues as well.
