  • What is Hair Thinning?
  • Hair thinning is a medical condition where the
    patient starts noticing a drastic
  • reduction in the volume and thickness of the
    hair. Typically, it is witnessed with age, but
    the same can also progress due to genetic
    predisposition, poor eating habits, or an
    undiagnosed underlying condition like thyroid
    dysfunction.
  • If you are losing 50-100 strands of hair daily,
    dont be alarmed because that is healthy
    shedding. However, the issue lies when the
    patient starts witnessing uncontrolled hair
    loss, especially across the scalp, and not
    localized to a specific region.
  • In case you are struggling with the same
    hereditary hair loss, seeing a doctor is ideal.
    As for diagnosis, your doctor will first look
    into the pattern of hair loss before asserting
    the cause and the aligned treatment plan.
  • During the diagnosis, the specialist will enquire
    about
  • 2. What are the Causes of Hair Thinning?
  • Hair loss, to an extent, is normal. However,
    consistently losing a bunch of hair can not just
    contribute to receding hairline but cause
    eventually hair thinning too. With age or other
    contributing triggers, the hair follicles start

decaying, reducing hair growth and eventual
thinning. However, to understand the causes
better, we need to elaborate on the individual
pattern of hair loss. Male or female pattern hair
loss Also termed as Androgenetic alopecia, this
type of hair loss is relayed by genetic
predisposition. The condition typically affects
men more than women and is predominant with age.
In men, the condition can start showing symptoms
from the mid to late 20s, while it affects women
typically during menopause. While men experience
receding hairline due to this condition, women
witness hair thinning around the crown of the
head. Alopecia areata Another one of the common
illnesses that cause hair loss is alopecia
areata. Although the symptoms start with gradual
thinning, the condition causes the patient to
lose hair invisible patches on the scalp. It even
affects the hair follicles in the eyebrows and
the facial hair region. Both genetic
predisposition and environmental factors
contribute to this condition. Improper diet As
we mentioned before, nutrient deficiency is a key
trigger behind hair loss and thinning. Our body
needs protein to generate optimal and strong
hair production. Not eating a healthy and
balanced diet makes it difficult for such
patients to either have vitamin or protein
deficiency in their bodies, leading to hair
thinning. Malnutrition often leads to weakened
hair follicles and hair shafts that fall off
easily without much effort. So, focusing on your
diet is crucial. One of the key deficiencies is
that of Vitamin D. Since Vitamin D is responsible
for stimulating the hair follicles, its
deficiency results in the opposite. Stress Anothe
r key contributor to hair thinning is stress.
This causes a condition called telogen
effluvium, which means that the follicles arrest
the hair growth in the telogen phase, causing
them to fall out eventually. If you are
struggling with stress, practice proper
management. Talking to a professional is often
considered ideal.
