Could hair loss be a sign of illness in the body?

We naturally lose around 100 strands of hair a day. This is part of our growth rate and hair loss.

In some situations, this loss can be accentuated, not necessarily signaling a serious health problem, but some problem in the body that deserves to be looked at, investigated and even monitored.

For example, an individual who is very stressed may experience increased hair loss. An individual who has had an infection or is recovering from a virus or the flu may also experience increased hair loss.

A person who follows, or begins to follow, an inadequate, nutrient-deficient diet may also experience a deterioration in the quality of their hair and marked loss of strands.

Hormonal disorders can also lead to thinning hair and increased hair loss. These are health problems worth identifying and monitoring.

Now, we cannot forget that important hormonal changes, which occur in certain stages of life, can also lead to an increase in hair loss. Therefore, men who have other men in the family with a history of baldness may begin to experience hair loss starting in the second or third decade of life, as male pattern baldness (baldness) sets in.

Women, especially during the climacteric period, due to the decrease in hormones, may also experience more pronounced hair loss.
