Unveiling the Culprits Behind Your Hair Loss

Losing your hair can be distressing, but understanding the underlying causes may help you identify and address the problem. Several factors could contribute to your hair loss, including genetics, age, hormonal changes, medications, and medical conditions.

Some medical conditions such as thyroid disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and lupus can cause hair loss. These conditions may affect your body's normal functioning and lead to hair shedding.

  • Thyroid disease, for example, affects your thyroid gland's ability to regulate your metabolism. An underactive or overactive thyroid gland can lead to hair loss.
