I'm losing my hair. What should I do?
TW??
I can just pull out a tuft like that. It's been going on for several months. I recently went to the doctor. Blood tests were fine. He couldn't tell me what was wrong. But I don't understand why. He's a doctor, after all, and he has to find out what's wrong. Otherwise, I'll end up bald. I'm only 17. So it can't be menopause; my blood is normal. What could be wrong?
That's why I'm asking you. Maybe you have some ideas or advice I can try to stop this.
It must be very burdensome for you. There are various causes for hair loss, and sometimes it is difficult to find the exact cause even if the blood values are in order. Here are some possible reasons and approaches that you can try out:
1. Stress and mental stress
Cause: Chronic stress can cause hair loss. This is also called “telogenic effluvium”.
Solution: Try to reduce stress, e.g. through relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga or regular exercise.
Two. Nutrition
Cause: Even if your blood values are in order, a deficiency of certain nutrients (e.g. iron, zinc, vitamin D or B vitamins) can promote hair loss.
Solution: Pay attention to a balanced diet with sufficient vegetables, fruit, protein and healthy fats. Supplements like biotin can also help.
3. Genetic hair loss
Cause: If there are cases of hair loss in your family (e.g. father, grandparents), it could be genetically conditioned.
Solution: There are treatments such as minoxidil (free of prescription) or finasteride (depreciation) that can slow the progress of the hair loss.
4. Hormone causes
Cause: Even in men of your age, hormones (e.g. testosterone) can play a role.
Solution: An endocrinologist can carry out hormone tests if this has not happened yet.
Five. Scalp problems
Cause: Problems such as scales, fungal infections or seborrhoic eczema can cause hair loss.
Solution: Dermatological treatments such as special shampoos (e.g. ketoconazole) could help.
6. Mechanical loading
Cause: Frequently wearing tight hairstyles (e.g. pots) or strong combing can weaken hair.
Solution: Avoid unnecessary loads and use gentle hair care products.
Next steps:
1. Second visit: Get a second opinion, for example, from a dermatologist or a specialized trichologue.
Two. Guide diary: no animals when the hair loss occurs, what you eat, which products you use, and whether you have had stress.
3. Patience: Many treatments need a few months before they show results.
If you want, I can give you more specific tips or information about one of these points!
I’m currently using these biotin hair gums (since seven days). (Heißen AH-MAZING HAIR Vitamin Biotin). Hope they can help. Otherwise, it could be my majesty at that time. But it’s been four years since, and I’m eating well. I don’t notice stress. It’s not hereditary. Hormones can be, period is irregular to not at all. And otherwise, do you have shampoos that you can recommend? What do you think of Plantur 21?
What might be important, I’m not taking the pill.
It is wrong to take that losing hair is the same as hair loss.
Hair loss by definition is only possible when more hair falls out than after-growing.
And how many of these are you can’t reach by “counting” or otherwise, except by looking for new gaps.
So I noticed that my hair has been more extreme for a few months. It’s definitely not healthy.
If it’s inherited, you can’t do anything. All the industry’s advertising promises don’t help.
Is there one or some people in your family with a baldness?
No, no one has hair loss. My grandma and my grandpa have a bald but because of chemo. Otherwise everything’s okay.
Your hair loss is already very advanced if it’s not hereditary, talk to your family doctor. I have a baldness my grandpa and grandpa had no, but I still have a terrible condition.
No, I don’t have strong breast hair. I’m a girl. It might be due to my magnificence of 2021. But then I don’t know exactly how, because I’m already in the normal range.
If so, you could remove hair from there and implant it on your head. Sounds a bit crazy, and I also don’t think that this pays the KK..The procedure also takes very long and there is no guarantee..
I was already with the doctor, but he didn’t do much except blood tests and then he said he couldn’t help me. So I’m so desperate.
