Hair Loss 101

Understanding Hair Loss

There are a growing number of people experiencing hair loss. Many are reluctant to see their family physicians and some that do, receive an ambiguous response leaving them even more confused and stressed.

Identifying why you experience hair loss and what to do to stop the excess shedding or to promote hair growth can be overwhelming.

Shampoos and natural supplements may help some but what works for one may not work for another.

Consider the following:

Do you suffer from anxiety and depression? Elevated levels of stress can reduce the absorption amounts of nutrients in your body and block blood flow from the shoulders to the head, thus leading to bald patches or visible hair thinning.

Are you over weight? Staying healthy and fit will promote blood flow and nutrients to your head for hair growth.

Is it hereditary? Speak with your family members to gather as much information about their experience with hair loss or visible hair thinning. Then take that information to your family physician, the more information they have, the better they can assist you.

Are you taking any medications that have side effects that may be related to what you are experiencing?

Hair loss or visible hair thinning is extremely difficult to carry on your own. Remember that speaking with family members or close friends can provide emotional support. If you can’t speak with them, then consider speaking with a professional counselor that can help you reduce stress and manage your expectations and emotions.
