Hair loss due to health issues


The hair is the crowning glory of a woman. Hair loss can be quite a traumatic experience for a woman. For many women, being remembered for the days when their hair was long, luxurious and thickness are pleasant memories However, if you had the same experience as Ruth Caton whose  delicate and shining hair started falling abnormally, chances are that you may have some underlying serious medical condition.


Caton soon realized that not only was her hair falling, but that she also experience dizziness  and sudden uncontrollable  weight gain. It took a couple of doctors through various diagnosis to confirm that she suffered from hypothyroidism, a disease pertaining to the  thyroid gland which did not produce enough hormones. After receiving replacement hormones therapy,  Caton's  hair grew and returned back to normal condition 


According to Dr Leslie Coker, hair loss affects women in a way that is more traumatic compare to men.  This is not surprising because men who shed and lose hair is considered normal and baldness in men is nothing strange. . The truth of the matter is that "We're not supposed to lose hair, ' according to Dr Leslie, regardless of whether we are a man or a woman.


O ver 30 million women in the United States have experienced hair loss and for some women it might be attributed to early symptoms of chronic medical conditions.  These conditions include anemia, thyroid and polycystic ovarian syndrome also some women may experience hair loss after childbirth, crash diets, emotional stress and surgery.
