Hair loss is a very prevalent condition among people across the globe, and the condition can be permanent or temporary depending on a number of different contributing factors, some which are within your control while others which are beyond your powers. Being the emotional debilitating condition that it is, many people will always look for a permanent solution to the problem, although it always proves to be an elusive one.
Temporary hair loss can easily be fixed once the root cause of the problem is identified and taken care of professionally and with the urgency that it deserves. It is however to be mentioned that the process of treating even a temporary hair loss condition can prove to be a difficult or stubborn case if the root cause of the problem is not identified, or if the wrong treatment measure is administered. By the same token, it is important to know that while initially a hair loss problem could be temporary as a result of some conditions such as stress and anxiety, it can end up being a permanent problem in the event of a misdiagnosis and treatment.
Needless to mention therefore, the first course of action when you start to see abnormal loss of hair is to talk to your doctor who will be in a good position to establish the underlying cause of your problem and recommend an effective way of treatment. The good news is that most hair loss conditions are temporary and will often disappear as strangely as they appeared even after something as simple as a slight alteration in your lifestyle.
Alopecia – this is a medical term used to describe abnormal or excessive loss of hair. There are different categories of alopecia today, but one thing that is common among both women and men who experience this condition is the fact that it is a condition that seeks to convey the message that something is wrong somewhere in your body system. It could be a hormonal imbalance perhaps because of menopause or pregnancy or it could be an underlying medical condition that needs to be fixed. In most cases, fixing the underlying cause of the problem will often fix the hair loss problem.
Hair loss could also be triggered by such things as medications that you are using to treat a different condition, stress, anxiety, lack of exercise, poor diet and nutrition etc. In most cases, the hair often always grows back, often healthier than ever before, once the real cause is dealt with. Worth mentioning is the fact that permanent hair loss is a reality and despite the fact that it affects a very small percentage of people, it is something that someone has to struggle and contend with for the rest of their lives.
