Causes for Hair Fall ,Alopecia Areata

 What diseases can contribute to Hair Fall?

What we have discussed so far is the possible general situations, which can trigger this

 Hair Fall now we will explore the diseases which can be considered as a starting point

 for this Hair Fall and also, we are discussing, some possible solutions to solve this

Hair Fall from diseases, Category-2

So, let's try to sum up the major disease which can trigger this Hair Fall

let's see

                   how to reduce hair fall naturally, causes of hair fall, alopecia areata

Alopecia Areata

Its a condition or some say a disease that too autoimmune disease, where Hair Fall starts

its small patches, these patches are so small that they can be easily unnoticeable then they

connect and form a big noticeable patch

This normally occurs suddenly on the scalp, to some persons it can come on eyebrows,

 eyelashes face and other parts of the body, it can stop and reoccur after some time, maybe

 months to years, normally its end up on total loss of hairs, most difficult to manage the

 condition, even if hair grow by some treatment again they will fall, and of course, total

 damage may be very different as it depends from person to person,(1)

let's see

                    causes of alopecia areata, how to reduce hair fall naturally

Symptoms of Alopecia Areata

There are not many symptoms except you will notice or find clumps of hair that 

maybe on your pillow or while you are taking shower because there are other health

conditions where you can also encounter the same pattern of hair fall so it becomes

only a good guess by an expert,(2),(3)

Alopecia Areata in males

Its more severe in males, mostly facial, scalp, chest, back hairs, and end to baldness

Alopecia Areata in females

Females are more likely to develop this problem faster than men, although hardly

 any research data to explain this why so, hair loss happens to the scalp., eyebrow,

 and lashes

One more difference is that here it does not follow the general rule of the female-pattern

 of Hair-Loss, where thinning happens to a large area, on contrary, in this case, the disease

 some times confined to a smaller area like a patch, and slowly this patch start spreading 

 also, it happens more suddenly

Alopecia Areata in children's

As an auto-immune disease, it also attacks children, normally before the age of 30, it's quite

traumatizing for children and some kind of counseling is a must, some times this disease in

children particularly show additional symptoms such as

-Nail defects, pitting, or lesions

Alopecia Areata types

Experts have detected the 5-types depending on the pattern of hair loss, start appearing

we do not want to go into that many details maybe it's beyond the scope of this present

blog but just to point out what does it means that it is very different from person to

person

How to diagnose Alopecia Areata?

First of all, you have to contact your doctor, and most probably he or she will refer you to

expert in this area, what they do mostly, we like to summarise here,(4)

-Examination of hairs, or hair samples under a microscope

-Scalp Biopsy, a small skin sample is removed and examined mainly to rule out fungal

  infections

-Blood test is done to confirm auto-immune condition, and if any similar disease is

  present or not and, also possible deficiencies of micronutrients

What are the causes of Alopecia Areata?

In medical terms its Auto-Immune condition, where our own immune system turns to our

own healthy cells, recognizing them as foreign invading substances, as our immune system

is supposed to fight, foreign invaders, such as bacterias and viruses, here in this case it starts

fighting to our own healthy cells, in the present case, our own immune system attacks 

hair follicles, and just damage them

We do not have much research data to explain this very exactly how it happens, but although

it's not 100% true but this Alopecia Ateata happens more often to those persons who have

a history of other autoimmune diseases such as

-Diabetes-type-1

-Rheumatoid Arthritis

What are possible treatments?

Treatment is not easy as there is almost no cure, the methods mostly based on trial-and-error,

which takes its own time, and by that time the condition can turn into the more worst situation

Some of the treatments which are undertaken by persons are listed below, but caution don't

tink they will do wonders

Medical Treatments

Topical agents, 

you are supposed to rub them into the scalp to have some effect

1,-Minoxidil,(Rogaine), it's available over the counter, some people it's reported to work

2,-Anthralin, (Dritho-Scalp), its drug, the doctor has to recommend, it creates some kind of

     irritation to start regrowth

3,-Steroids,(Clobetasol),comes as foam,lotion.ointment

4,-Immunotherapy,(diphenylcyclopropenone, other names,diphencyprone,DPCP,DPC),

    a strong chemical that can cause a chemical rash or  allergic rash, experts think it can induce

    hair growth, in some persons it really works

Other treatments

1-Dermal Injections, from very thin needles steroids, are injected, just below the baldy area

    again in some people, it works

2-Oral medicines, again steroids, but very care full don't use them without asking your doctor

    similarly, there are other drugs, they belong to immunosuppressant families and for that you

    again need doctor

3-Light Therapy, also called photochemotherapy, phototherapy, is mostly psoralens +UV-light

      but it needs a good expert

Natural Treatment

Most of these treatments are not cleared by clinical studies, and also very little we know about

there real efficacy, most of them herbal in nature, and we will discuss them in details

incoming further posts, more often they reduce the severity of disease and they work with

some persons, but one thing for sure they do not damage much

Where do we stand from this blog, How to Reduce Hair Fall Naturally, as we are trying to

make more aware of the problems related to Hair Fall we have tried to describe the causes

of hair fall, and here in this post we have discussed an auto-immune disease, which is too 

difficult to cure, most of the time you have to live with it, now the only question is left how

to reduce the damage and how to manage this problem, in the further coming post we will try

to explain those points also our only objective is if we able to provide you some helpful 

information that too in very simple and clean words

Causes for Hair Fall

 What are the causes for Hair Fall?

There are so much wide number of possibilities, that it creates confusion, and also very

 difficult to pinpoint very exact possibility, and it can end up in presuming more the one

 cause responsible for hair fall at any given time, so let's start, to understand in a better

 way what we have done is to categorize the causes so that its easy to figure-out

let's see

                   causes for hair fall

Before we go to causes, it's very important to observe, what way your hair fall is appearing, in

general we can group them according to how they fall, in appearance

-Whether they are falling out gradually or abruptly or suddenly.,this observation can

  help you in identifying, or pinpointing some possible reasons

-Is thinning is happening, whether at all places or in some particular areas

-Can regrow on their own, without any much treatment

-Requires some kind of treatment for regrowing

-Needs very immediate treatment otherwise they may fall permanently

now after observing let's come to what may be a possible cause

let's see

                    hair fall observation, how to reduce hair fall naturally

Most important causes, category-1

HEREDITARY

World-wide this can be considered as the main reason

-In men, it follows a pattern, and bald spots start mostly from the forehead

-In women.it starts as an overall thinning or widening apart

-In medical terms, it is called as Androgenic-Alopecia

What is the possibility, is regrowth is possible?

Yes, very much. at least it can slow down the hair loss, and in some cases, it can

regrow, but important is that treatment can be started as early as possible, maybe

at the stage where you are a teen and shrinking appears as a first sign

AGE

Its very common, because as we grow old, hair growth also reduces, at some point

it becomes very low, it becomes thin,it loses color

Is, there any possibility, is regrowth is possible?

Again if we  are early some possibilities are there, in some people treatment can

response

HORMONAL IMBALANCE

It's a very common cause  with, women, we call it PCOS, this can cause sudden hair

loss, or thinning, some times it also can happen, if someone on the pill, and stops the pill

Is there regrowth possible?

Treatment for PCOS is important along with that a treatment for hair fall normally

make the regrowth possible

HAIR CARE

Today it may be a major cause, some times, color, perm, and overdoing of hair care 

hair styling, hair pulling, can trigger this hair loss, once you damage a hair follicle

hair can not grow from that follicle, having many of these damaged follicles leads to

permanent bald spot

So, what to be done?

No, harsh treatment, that too from an early age, must be avoided, a better hair care

 practices should be used

TOO LITTLE MICRONUTRIENTS, VITAMINS, AND PROTEINS

Some times deficiencies of these can lead to hair loss, this is also very much

commonly occurring factor, you have to look for certain key factors

-not enough proteins, as you know hairs are made out of proteins and shortfall

  of protein  can lead the hair fall

-not enough Zinc, deficiencies of zinc can trigger sudden hair fall, so look for this

-not enough Iron, this is important for all major process in the body and also

  for good hair growth, so look at it

-Biotin, it's part of vitamins, and make sure you have it

So , what can be done?

Make sure that you have enough protein, iron, zinc and biotin, in this case, regrowth is

possible once you correct the deficiency

 LIFESTYLE ISSUES

-Dry hairs, lot of people do not put any kind of oil or moisturizing preparation

  just keep them dry, they rub each other, and finely it weakens their roots

-Pulling, some people may be because of stress pull their hairs, some even unknowingly

  play with hairs, often twist them, pull them, this all weakens their roots

-Hair dress, some people put very tight hair dress either hats or scarfs, some times even

  woolen, and synthetic, they all rub with hairs, mostly dry hairs, and weaken them

So, what to be done?

Avoid practice to keep hairs dry, if hairs are dry and they rub each other or with

synthetics, they generate large amounts of static charge, which weakens their roots

POISON

Although it's very rare but because of very heavy pollution in large part of earth its

can not be ignored

-Arsinic poisoning ,in water and also in some of the hair care products, it should be best

   taken care of

-Mercury poisoning, almost as above from water and also from products

-Thallium poisoning, this also starts appearing in some areas

-Lithium poisoning/the culprit is lithium batteries and very safe disposal is not

  happening

-Warfarin, its used as a rat poison, and can create some poisoning

-Pesticides and insecticides, more and more used in agro sector can create enough

  problem

-Chlorine, and Bromine and their derivatives, they used today more and more for

water purification, and hygiene applications

-Selenium, mostly from hair care products

-Hair dyes., used for coloring the hairs

-Vitamin A, this vitamin is reported to create hair fall if used in excess

Where hair regrow once poisoning is taken care of?

Yes, hair growth comes back once this irritating situation is properly addressed
