Sudden Hair Loss
 It
is normal to lose about 80 to 100 hairs everyday as the same
number, or perhaps more hair grows back after some time. However
at times, you may find some sudden hair loss on your pillow
in the morning and in your comb. There are many causes of
hair loss of which the main reasons are genes and stress.
It is the genetic makeup of a person that tends to induce
sudden hair loss in a person. Hereditary hair loss tends to
fall in gradually, and is usually in large chunks of hair.
This hair loss gene can be passed on from either the father
or the mother, but research has suggested that it is the genes
that come from the mother’s side that has a larger possibility
of getting passed on to kids. This fact is yet to be strongly
proven.
Other causes of sudden hair loss are psychological stress,
stress that induced hormonal changes or imbalance and trauma
in the body. It is when these changes in the body are finally
normalized that this sudden hair loss tends to stop and growth
resumes as usual.
Chemotherapy can induce sudden hair loss
Chemotherapy is another cause of sudden hair loss because
of the drugs used in vesting this treatment. It is when a
cancer patient undergoes chemotherapy to fight cancer; the
treatment gives the side effect of sudden hair loss. It is
because the drugs used here attacks healthy hair follicles,
and this is how sudden hair loss starts.
However if you suffer from sudden hair loss, don’t
take things lightly. Consult your doctor as soon as possible
so that you can find out the cause for hair loss. This is
because if you are not in any stress and if you are not taking
any medication that may indicate sudden hair loss as a side
effect, the hair loss can be a sign of a disease.
Blood tests can find out the cause for sudden hair
loss
In such situations, your doctor will ask you to do a blood
test to find out if you are suffering from an infection, some
hormonal problems or if you have any deficiency problems.
It is quite natural for you to consider buying and using hair
growth products to try and grow hair. However this is not
a great idea for treating sudden hair loss as without ascertaining
the cause for hair loss, all your hair
re-growth effects will be in vain.
Even a change in your diet, where there is no nutritious
food can be a cause for sudden hair loss. This is because
without the right diet, you will not get the necessary nutrients
and vitamins for your body, and your hair. Ensure that you
have sufficient amounts of Vitamin A, folic acid, Vitamin
B6, Vitamin B12 and protein for your hair and body to be healthy
and vibrant.
With the right diet and on eliminating the cause of your
sudden hair loss, you will be able to stop
hair loss and start growing hair instead.
