Hello everyone! I’m Dr Manali Shah, Chief Dermatologist at Clear Skin and Hair MD Clinics. Hair loss can be an emotional journey, especially for women, and in today’s video, we’ll dive deep into the hidden medical conditions that could be causing your hair fall. If you or someone you care about is struggling with hair loss, this video will be incredibly helpful.
Why Is Hair Loss a Concern?
Hair loss is often dismissed as a side effect of stress or hair products, but the truth is that underlying medical conditions can be significant contributors. If you’ve noticed excessive hair shedding in your shower or comb, or if new hair care products aren’t working, it’s time to look beyond the surface.
Common Medical Conditions Causing Hair Loss
Nutritional Deficiencies
Iron Deficiency & Anemia
Low iron levels affect oxygen and nutrient supply to hair follicles, disrupting the growth cycle. Iron (ferritin) is a structural component of hair, and deficiencies lead to weakened follicles and shedding.
Stress-Induced Hair Loss (Telogen Effluvium)
Stress or trauma, such as surgery or illness, can push hair follicles into the resting phase, leading to excessive shedding within 2–3 months.
Conditions like dengue, typhoid, or significant emotional stress (e.g., divorce or bereavement) can also trigger this issue.
How to Manage It:
Practice stress management techniques like yoga and meditation.
Focus on a balanced diet to restore your body’s natural equilibrium.
Hormonal Imbalances and PCOS
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS):
This endocrine disorder increases androgen (male hormone) levels, leading to:
Hair thinning and loss.
Acne and unwanted facial hair growth.
Weight gain.
Treatment:
Lifestyle modifications, including weight management.
Medications like oral contraceptives, as prescribed by your doctor.
Thyroid Disorders
The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, and imbalances can cause:
Hypothyroidism: Thinning of scalp hair, eyebrows, and body hair.
Hyperthyroidism: Continuous hair loss and thinning.
How to Address It:
Get a blood test to check thyroid function.
Consult an endocrinologist for medications to balance thyroid hormones.
Autoimmune Conditions and Chronic Illnesses
Conditions like alopecia areata, pernicious anemia, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis can attack hair follicles, leading to patchy or widespread hair loss.
Alopecia Areata: The immune system attacks hair follicles, causing bald patches.
Lupus: Can result in scarring and permanent hair loss.
Treatment:
Steroid injections or immunosuppressive therapy, as recommended by a dermatologist.
Seborrheic Dermatitis (Dandruff)
Commonly known as dandruff, this condition causes:
Flaky and itchy scalp.
Increased oiliness leading to hair shedding.
How to Manage It:
Use medicated anti-fungal shampoos and treatments.
Follow your dermatologist’s recommendations for a scalp care routine.
Why You Should Consult a Specialist
Hair loss isn’t always straightforward. An expert dermatologist can:
Identify the underlying causes through advanced diagnostic tools like trichoscopy and blood tests.
Provide a personalized treatment plan that may include medications, tonics, or lifestyle changes.
Offer early interventions to prevent further damage and promote hair regrowth.
