Alopecia- Reasons

As mentioned earlier alopecia, may occur due to possible hormonal imbalance or as a side effect of some medication. Sometimes, pregnancy also causes excessive hair loss. But that is more likely to get ok after the delivery. But in general alopecia can occur due to several reasons. One of them could be a disease that is preventing hair growth. This can happen in both male and female cases. To treat this condition, one needs to go through available therapies like glucocorticoids, topical immunotherapy, anthralin etc. in some cases taking help of these therapies can restore the hair growing mechanism but achieving the peak level of hair growth will still be difficult.

Another reason could be taking place of andogenetic. It refers to thinning of head scalp. Hormonal imbalance could be one of reason behind this phenomenon. Pregnancy, birth control pills etc cause hormonal imbalance and that may further lead to hair thinning. One of the very common reasons is dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It causes great hormonal imbalance and as a result further hair loss. In some cases hair loss is way beyond any treatment.

Chemotherapy sessions can also cause baldness. One of the first steps that need to be taken is to understand your hair pattern. That needs to be followed by going through diagnostic tests. Based on the findings, one can go for appropriate hair loss treatment. We have yet to achieve a perfect hair loss treatment but we can prevent it by taking proper care and treatment. Taking estrogen boosting pills can be one of the options. But it’s always better to consult a trusted medical provider.
