Hair loss is one of the commonest complaints that a dermatologist encounters in his clinic. So when we have patient who has hair loss we first try to evaluate if they had any illness. So in the last two years covid was one of the major causes of hair loss. Another very common cause of hair loss is when a patient is on a diet or has lost lot of weight due to many reasons. It might be they have delivered a child it might be they are trying to reduce their weight or it might be that they're having bad eating habits. So sudden weight loss is in medical terms it's defined as more than 10% weight loss in a period of 6 months. So many people lose 5 to 6 % in a period of just one month. So even losing to 3 kgs in a month or 5 kgs in a month is a significant weight loss. So what this does is when you have sudden weight loss your body tries to conserve energy and hair is considered as a useless tissue hair is dead. It is not useful to the body. So the hair loses its nutrition from the body. While the body tries to conserve that nutrition for more important organs like your heart brain liver lungs kidney etc. So this is the one of the major causes of sudden hair fall and it is a reversible cause. Dermatologists will give you some hair strengthening serums and sometimes they might give you medicines like minoxidil for a short period of time. Usually once your weight stabilizes the diet is improved supplements are given. This weight loss stabilizes in about two or three months.
