Every day a person loses hundreds of hairs, but we do not notice this, because new ones are growing instead. It is considered normal if up to 100 hairs fall out per day. If you find that there is too much hair loss, need to look for a reason. The causes of hair loss can be very diverse. The main ones are:
-
Lack of immunity.
Hair loss in women can be caused by decreased immunity. This often happens when the body weakened or when it works at “increased speeds.” Besides, hair loss can occur after childbirth or while breastfeeding. Also, frequent respiratory infections can cause hair loss.
Recommendations. Consult with your doctor what medications you need to take to restore immunity. Do not exhaust yourself with diets. It is better to go in for sports. Thus, the body will strengthen and colds will no longer exhaust you. Take a trip to the sea every summer, where the body will recover and gets enough vitamin D.
-
Lack of iron in the body.
Female iron deficiency may occur due to monthly blood loss during menstruation. Starvation and diet are also often causes of anemia. Pay attention to whether you have drowsiness, general weakness, palpitations, pale skin – these are all signs of iron deficiency in the body.
Recommendations. Eat healthy food rich in iron: liver, fish and meat (beef), egg yolk, rye bread, cereals (buckwheat, oatmeal), iron-containing juices (apple, pomegranate). It is necessary to check the level of iron in the body regularly. If a deficiency is detected, it is necessary to be treated with iron and its coenzymes (such as Chela-Ferr Forte).
-
Hormonal disorders.
The cause of hair loss in women can be hormonal disorders. Imbalance of hormones can cause hair loss.
Recommendations. Visit an endocrinologist to check your thyroid condition. If it is necessary, do a blood test and complete all examinations. After consulting a doctor, you will be able to take medications (such as Eltroxin, Thyronorm) that will not only save you from hair loss, but also help your endocrine system.
-
Insufficient blood supply to the scalp
One of the reasons of hair loss is insufficient blood supply of the head. Frequent consumption of caffeinated beverages such as coffee and strong tea also plays an important role, because these drinks can constrict blood vessels.
Recommendations. Drink no more than one cup of coffee a day. Go in for sports, go for a walk daily, and rest as much as possible.
-
Deficiency of vitamins and minerals.
Often the cause of hair loss is a lack of trace elements and vitamins. In addition, the frequent drinking of alcohol and the habit of smoking “burns” part of the vitamins, which help the body fight against intoxication.
Recommendations. Take a vitamin complex in the autumn and spring after consulting with your therapist. Also, be sure to eat fresh fruits, berries and vegetables.
-
The consequences of stress.
Often hair falls out due to constant stress at work or at home. If stress has turned into a “chronic” form, blood circulation weakens, and hair begins to fall out.
Recommendations. You can drink tea with mint and lemon. Herbal infusions soothe and relax the body. You can take a bath with mint and chamomile herbs.
