Dr. Mariana Nazarova, a dermatologist and cosmetologist, points out that beautiful, shiny, and thick hair is a sign of beauty, youth, and health, so hair loss worries men and women.
According to her, 60-100 hairs can naturally fall out daily. This process is usually invisible. But if the amount of hair loss increases, the cause may be a disease. Especially viral diseases. Based on this, body temperature rising to 38.5 degrees may cause hair loss after 2-3 months.
She says: “Changes in the level of hormones can also cause hair loss. This occurs against the background of thyroid diseases, changes in the level of sex hormones, as well as physiological conditions, such as adolescence, the postpartum period, and old age.”
According to her, hair can fall out due to vitamin deficiency, low levels of protein and mineral elements, iron deficiency anemia, skin diseases - seborrheic dermatitis, fungal infections of the scalp, systemic lupus erythematosus and others. Stress stimulates the production of hormones that cause spasm of peripheral blood vessels, which negatively affects the nutrition of hair follicles and leads to hair loss.
She says: “Taking some medications, especially antibiotics, antidepressants, and preparations containing vitamin A, anti-estrogens, and others, can also cause hair loss.”
In the event of hair loss, the doctor recommends not worrying and panicking because it will exacerbate the problem further, and instead see a specialist doctor who will diagnose the cause and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
