It is normal for a healthy person to lose 50 to 100 strands of hair every day. If you have noticed more hair loss than normal, you should take precautions. You should always consult your physician first about what kind of precautions to take.
Nowadays, both men and women want their hair to be dense and thick. Although hair loss is mostly associated with men, women are also faced with hair loss.
In order to prevent hair loss and to have more dense and lush hair, the causes of this problem should be looked at first. As a result of the evaluations to be made by your physician, it will be clear why your hair is falling out and what kind of treatment should be applied.
When we look at the underlying causes of hair loss in general, we see various reasons such as intense stress, hormonal imbalances, iron deficiency, irregular functioning of the thyroid gland. Apart from these, seasonal changes also accelerate hair loss.
Causes of Hair Loss
- Stress: The intense stress of work and home life tires many people mentally and physically and as a result, it invites many diseases. Hair loss is a common condition in individuals under intense stress.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Women may experience hair loss due to estrogen fluctuations, especially during pregnancy.
- Insufficient Nutrition: Hair loss may occur as a result of iron or vitamin A and B deficiency and unbalanced nutrition.
- Side Effects of Medications or Treatments: As a side effect of medications used for a long time, individuals may experience hair loss. It is very normal to have hair loss, especially in those undergoing chemotherapy.
- Androgen alopecia: It is a type of hair loss mostly seen in men. It is caused by genetic and hormonal factors. If no precautions are taken, baldness is inevitable.
Solutions of Hair Loss
- Alternative Solutions: Garlic shampoo, pine turpentine oil and olive oil are among the first products used. Although these products are effective in some people, they experience the same hair loss when they stop using them.
- Using Medication: Those who want to stop hair loss can start using some medications and creams as a practical solution. Generally, although using creams and medicines such as Finasteride, Minoxidil prevents hair loss, the old hair loss will come back when you stop using them. In addition, using these drugs for a long time will have many side effects.
- FUE Hair Transplantation: In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the definitive solution to hair loss is “hair transplantation” as it is popularly known. FUE Hair Transplantation can be explained as transplanting the hair from the area called ‘donor area’ to the more sparse areas of the hair.
