Hair loss - causes

The rate of hair loss for an adult is from 40 to 100 pieces per day. This is quite natural process, which ends the life cycle of the bulb. But if for some reason the balance of functioning of the follicle is disturbed, the amount of hair falling out increases.

The causes of hair loss in girls and women:

1. Immune disorders. Usually arise because of the transferred infectious diseases, stresses and an incorrect way of life.
2. Iron deficiency in the body. Factors affecting the lack of this component can be too rigid diets for weight loss, as well as the onset of the menstrual cycle (due to blood loss).
3. Infectious diseases of the scalp, such as seborrhea, dermatitis and eczema.
4. Chemotherapy.
5. Side effects of drugs. Hair loss provokes:
   • diuretics;
   • antidepressants;
   • aspirin-containing medicines;
   • pills for lowering blood pressure.
6. Hormonal disorders. Often they occur even because of the use of contraceptives. Also hormonal hair loss is observed during pregnancy and after childbirth. This is due to a sharp restructuring of the body and a strong imbalance of estrogens and androgens.
7. Diseases of the thyroid gland that provoke an imbalance of hormones in the body.
8. Diabetes.
9. Lack of vitamins and trace elements. This problem is especially acute in the spring.
10. Stress.
11. Poor blood circulation in the skin on the head. Because of this, the roots of the hair do not receive the necessary nutrition, and the hair follicles do not have the opportunity to start the cycle, remaining in the frozen state.
12. Ecology and the aggressive influence of weather in the form of hypothermia.
13. Ultra-violet rays.

All of the above causes cause diffuse hair loss, which is characterized by a uniform loss of hair rods over the entire surface of the scalp. In a day, hair loss in the amount of 300 to 1000 can occur, the disease develops very rapidly and the first symptoms can be easily noticed. Diffuse hair loss must be treated with a good, experienced specialist. Self-administration of medications and cosmetic procedures without establishing the cause of the disease is likely to exacerbate the problem.

• representatives of the stronger sex usually do not follow the diet and general condition of the body;
• most men have bad habits;
• men are very dependent on genetic predisposition to alopecia;
• representatives of the stronger sex often work in harmful chemical industries, are exposed to radioactive radiation or earn heavy physical labor;
• men are more prone to stress, although this is not always noticeable.
