Hello,
How old are you? Since when you're suffering from this hair loss problem? Most common causes of hair loss are
1. Physical stress due to overwork illness, accident, injuries, childbirth, emotional disorders, or surgery which can cause telogen effluvium.
2. Usage of birth control pills by women
3. Pregnancy in women which can result in hormonal imbalances.
4. Scalp infections such as ringworm or fungal infections.
5. Poor diet, especially less protein intake, which can cause hair loss as hair strands are essentially made of the protein, keratin.
6. Excessive hairstyling and coloring, smoking.
7. Genetic hair loss,
autoimmune disorders such as Alopecia areata, or lupus, where the immune system of the body attacks its own healthy cells, including hair follicles.
8. Chemotherapy can result in spot baldness or complete baldness.
9.
Female pattern baldness caused by family genes
10. Medical conditions such as, anemia, iron deficiency,
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women, eating disorders, and thyroid disease.
11.
Vitamin B deficiency in the body, sudden weight loss due to physical trauma.
12. Burns and X-rays too can cause sudden temporary hair loss, taking medicines such as blood thinners and anti-depressants.
13. Trichotillomania which is an
impulse control disorder causing people to compulsively pull out their own hair.
14. Natural aging, especially when people enter their 50s or 60s. hyper or hypothyroidism may cause problems.
Mycosis fungoides and Cezary syndrome also cause alopecia. Usually, most of the cancers itself won't cause hair loss, but chemotherapy drugs may induce hair loss. Few cancers in the pancreas run in families, so you need to be evaluated for your condition. Please consult your
dermatologist or
oncologist they will examine and find out the cause for your hair loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
