Hidden Health Reasons Behind Hair Loss
1. Iron Deficiency (Anemia)
Iron deficiency India me bahut common hai, especially women me. Low iron = low oxygen supply to hair roots, jiske wajah se hair weak ho jata hai aur girne lagta hai.
2. Thyroid Problems
Hypothyroidism ya hyperthyroidism dono hi hair fall trigger karte hain. Thyroid imbalance se metabolism aur hormones disturb hote hain, jisse baal patle aur dry hone lagte hain.
3. Vitamin D & B12 Deficiency
Vitamin D scalp ke hair follicles ko active rakhta hai, aur B12 oxygen-carrying cells banata hai. Dono ki kami directly hair thinning ka reason ban sakti hai.
4. Hormonal Imbalance (PCOS, Post-Pregnancy)
PCOS me excess androgens hote hain jo scalp hair ko thin kar dete hain. Pregnancy ke baad bhi sudden hormonal shift ke wajah se bal gir sakte hai.
5. Stress & Poor Sleep
Stress hormones (cortisol) hair growth cycle ko disturb kar dete hain. Agar aap raat ko sahi sleep nahi lete to hair follicles weak ho jate hain.
6. Autoimmune Disorders (Alopecia Areata)
Isme immune system galti se hair follicles ko attack karta hai, jisse bald patches ban jate hain.
7. Side Effects of Medications
Kuch medicines jaise chemotherapy drugs, high BP tablets ya antidepressants bhi hair loss trigger kar sakte hain.
