Last time we mentioned that there are 4 possible causes and diseases that may cause hair loss, namely, alopecia areata, anemia, cancer, and depression. This time we will talk about several other causes of hair loss.(one)

1.Lupus

When it comes to illnesses that can cause hair loss, lupus is one of them. Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation and pain in the body. As it impacts the immune system, it also attacks healthy tissue including those responsible for hair growth.

While there arefour different types of lupus, one well known indicator of lupus is hair loss. One form of hair loss commonly associated with lupus is scarring alopecia, characterised by scarring on the scalp that can lead to permanent hair loss.

Non-scarring alopecia, on the other hand, tends to cause thinning of the hair as opposed to complete hair loss. Caused by the hair growth cycle experiencing periods of dormancy due to the disease, the thinning is usually concentrated at the hairline.

 2.Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a common illness that affects the function of a person's ovaries. Characterised by irregular periods, high levels of androgen (a male hormone), and enlarged (polycystic) ovaries, symptoms tend to emerge during the late teens or early 20s.

Alongside the aforementioned symptoms, PCOS can also cause thinning hair and hair loss in the form of androgenic alopecia. Androgenic alopecia is a form of hair loss wherein the affected hair becomes thinner, shorter and lighter until production ceases completely.

When it comes to people with PCOS, this hair loss is brought on by the overproduction of androgen–a hormone produced naturally in female and male bodies but when overproduced in a female body, they can lead to blocked hair follicles, resulting in the subsequent hair loss.

 3.Stress

While often overlooked, stress is another health problem that can cause hair loss as people often underestimate the negative effects high levels of stress can have on a person's health. So if you've ever asked yourself: can stress can cause hair loss? The answer is yes.

High stress levels can impair the hair growth cycle as it can push the hair follicles into a state of rest. This causes the hair follicles to thenlie dormant before shedding.

 4.Weight Loss

While gradual weight loss is unlikely to cause a negative change to your hair, crash diets, a yo-yo diet and sudden weight loss can cause nutritional deficiencies which can contribute to thinning hair and/or hair loss.

In addition to this, actively trying to lose weight can promote stress in dieters which in turn, can contribute to thinning hair or even hair loss. Similarly, if the weight loss is induced by stress, this can also lead to hair loss.
