why hair fall is more

Shivam

I am really concerned about my hair fall lately, like it seems to be so much more than usual. I've noticed that every time I wash my hair, there’s this massive handful of strands coming out! I've tried to pin down if it's because of stress or what I eat, but honestly I can’t figure it out. A few weeks ago, I was sick with a cold, and I remember reading that sometimes hair fall can be linked to that?? Ever since I got better, it's like my hair just refuses to cooperate. I never had this issue before. Also, my friend told me it could be a vitamin deficiency, but I’m not sure if that’s it. I did some basic tests, but all they said was I'm low on Vitamin D which I know can be a culprit. But why hair fall is more right now for me? Does low Vitamin D really make a difference? My grandma also had thinning hair, and I can’t help but wonder if genetics is playing a role too! I've tried some oils and even changed shampoos, but nothing’s working. Why hair fall is more for me now when I used to have such thick hair? Should I see a doctor or is it just a phase?

Hair fall can indeed be unsettling, especially when it seems to increase suddenly. There are several factors that could be contributing to your experience. As you’ve already identified, stress can be a significant factor, but the cold you had recently could also play a role due to a condition called telogen effluvium, where hair enters the shedding phase in response to a physical stressor like illness. Nutritional factors are important too. Vitamin D deficiency can affect hair health, as Vitamin D plays a role in the hair cycle. Ensuring you’re getting enough exposure to sunlight, or discussing supplementation options with your healthcare provider could help address this deficiency. As for genetics, they do influence hair patterns, including thinning, which means your family history could be contributing. Since you’ve tried various self-care strategies without success and noted a family history of hair thinning, seeing a healthcare provider like a dermatologist might provide more tailored guidance. They can perform detailed assessments and offer treatments that target the specific causes of your hair loss, such as prescribed medications or specific therapies for managing hair health. This is especially advisable if the hair fall persists or worsens, as it’s important to rule out other potential issues like hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, or scalp disorders. While it might be a temporary phase, professional advice can help you determine the best course of action efficiently.
