Hair loss is a natural process. On average, everyone loses 100 hairs per day.
But some people experience excessive hair loss despite this. It is important to research the possible causes before prescribing the appropriate treatment.
If you have tried medications, home remedies, and all methods and still nothing is working, the following reasons may be the cause of persistent hair loss:
Nutritional deficiency:
Excessive hair loss can sometimes be the result of severe dietary deficiencies that include protein or certain micronutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D.
Stress:
Hair loss is also experienced during persistent stress. This can happen after a very stressful event. Furthermore, hair growth stops during prolonged stress because stem cells become inactive at such times.
Side effects of medications:
Blood thinners, vitamin A-rich acne medications, anabolic steroids, and medications for arthritis, depression, gout, heart problems, or high blood pressure can also cause excessive hair loss.
Immediately after delivery:
Hair loss after childbirth is temporary and usually goes away within a year or less. This is because your hormones during pregnancy prevent your hair from falling out as much, but after delivery, it returns to normal, causing more hair to fall out.
