What are the causes of hair loss?
The American Academy of Dermatology reports that tens of millions of individuals in the United States are living with unwanted hair loss. The causes of hair loss aren't always entirely clear, though the most common underlying factors are a genetic predisposition coupled with the natural aging process.
Most cases of hair loss are not a sign of a serious disease or illness. Rather, some of the common causes of hair loss or male- and female-pattern baldness include:
- Alopecia
- Chemotherapy
- Fungal infections
- Medication side effects
- Protein deficiency or malnutrition
- Stress
- Thyroid disorders
The team at MyFitMed can perform blood work and other forms of testing to rule out any severe medical problems that may contribute to hair loss. Whatever the reason, they offer advanced solutions for hair restoration.
