Hair Loss and Medical Care

Hormonal changes can lead to hair loss

Hormonal changes that occur in pregnancy and childbirth can lead to hair loss. During the last trimester of pregnancy, hair growth may be greater due to the overproduction of hormones.

The hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause can also lead to hair loss. During this time, estrogen and progesterone in the body of a woman can fluctuate and decline. These changes can affect the function of the hair follicle and cause a marked thinning hair.

In the same way that these natural changes can affect hair loss drugs as well, like birth control pills or hormone replacement therapies that alter the body’s hormone production can also lead to temporary hair loss.

Finally, any malfunction of the thyroid can lead to overproduction or underproduction of certain hormones that help regulate hair growth. In this example, hair loss is caused by a depressed growth phase and a phase of prolonged rest.
