Unexplained Hair Loss

                                  


USEFUL BUT IGNORED REASONS


Hi! whenever I scroll down the social media platforms , I usually find various "effective" hair products that can benefit you in several ways like:- hair fall control, dandruff control, early graying of hair etc.





But for what reason that I do not understand is how to decide if these products will be beneficial to oneself or not? It can only be decided if we are fully aware about the cause that is leading to such conditions. 

Let me give you an example! I hope everyone will be able to relate with that because I am going to consider the recent Corona pandemic that we all went through globally. But if noticed that we were only able to combat that deadly situation after proper research and establishing the target . After that the results were promising.

Now consider the major problem of hair fall among men and women. I hear people talking about hair fall and blaming it on the seasons and literally people have come up with strange reasons to justify their hair loss. So today I just thought that why not provide my readers a useful insight into this major concern.


Lets talk about Hair Loss which is technically called "ALOPECIA".

Let's know the various causes:-

  • The most prevalent kind of hair loss, androgenetic alopecia, affects both men and women. It is brought on by a mix of hormones, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and genetics.


 

  • Menopause, pregnancy, and childbirth: During various phases of life, hormonal changes may cause transient hair loss.



  • Thyroid disorders: Hair growth may be impacted by conditions such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Health issues:

  • An autoimmune condition called alopecia areata results in patchy hair loss on the scalp, beard, and occasionally other body areas.

  • Scalp infections: Hair loss may result from fungus infections such as ringworm.


  • Autoimmune diseases: Hair loss can result from conditions like lichen planus and lupus.

  • Skin disorders: Psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis are two disorders of the scalp that can cause hair loss.
Drugs and therapies:

  • Chemotherapy: Hair loss is a side effect of some cancer therapies.

  • Drugs: Hair loss is a side effect of several drugs, such as blood thinners, high blood pressure, arthritis, and depression.

  • Hair loss may result from radiation therapy administered to the head.

Additional reasons:

  • Stress: Temporary hair loss may result from emotional or physical stress.

  • Tight hairstyles: Excessive hair pulling can harm hair follicles and result in hair loss.


  • Nutritional deficiencies: Hair loss may result from a lack of iron, protein, zinc, or biotin.

  • Ageing: As we age, our hair naturally becomes thinner.

# It's critical to consult a physician if you're having hair loss in order to identify the underlying cause and go over treatment alternatives.

Rethink and Eat

             RETHINK AND EAT, IT'S YOUR BODY, DO NOT BE HARSH ON IT Hi there! Instead of writing about a specific illness today, I'm writing about the novel idea of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and my appreciation for the medical documentary "Hack your Health-Secrets of your gut," which I found on Netflix. I was intrigued by the thumbnail and decided to read the description, which promised to take me on a tour of the digestive system. Thus, based on my regular interactions with people at work and at home, I hear complaints about various health issues such as diarrhea, constipation, and upset stomachs. This is what we typically learn.  However, the approach known as "Fecal Microbiota Transplantation," which treats the issue using the feces of healthy people, has advanced beyond expectations and produced incredibly unexpected outcomes. In order to create this unique visual information, numerous physicians, pathologists, and diagnostic specialists fr

                                           SHOCKING BUT TRUE! A recent study carried out by an international team of experts from University of Maryland, University of Belgrade, University of Sharjah, Case Western Reserve University has certainly revealed and established a relationship between dental hygiene and heart attack. YES! Since we have always heard that heart attacks are sudden and death cannot be predicted for patients with cardiovascular conditions. But it has been evidently shown that our body does give us signs of the underlying disease. In this case, loss of teeth has been associated with heart conditions.
