What can be possible causes of hair loss?

It's not alot, like not in great bunches but with every stroke of the brush many strands come out.What can be possible causes of hair loss?
Hormonal changes, poor diet, stress, certain illnesses (such as diabetes) can all effect our hair.What can be possible causes of hair loss?
Low amount of Iron in blood. I suffer from the same problem and that is what the doctor said to me. He told me to take Ferrous Sulphate.


Please get a blood test to check your iron level.





Edit, yes it could be that you didn't eat well during Ramadan (of course I mean after the sunset) and this cause iron loss. Lack of iron also makes your heart beat faster, so you can watch your heart beats, if you think they are faster than usual, this maybe the reason.
As salaamu 'alaikym, my friend.





Insha'Allah, hair loss can have many and varied causes.





Some of these can be illness associated with high fever for a prolonged period of time, genetics and a pre-disposition towards hair loss (especially true in men and associated with male pattern baldness), the use of certain chemicals used in the treatment of certain diseases such as cancer, extremely poor diet for a prolonged period of time (usually greater than a single week and the diet is usually near or at the starvation level), changes of hormones in the body system, and particular diseases or conditions that result in hair loss as well as excessive amounts of testosterone and the conversion of the same and the way such affects hair follicles.





Insha'Allah, it should also be realized that everyone who has hair loses some hair on a daily basis. Normally, ones body replaces or regrows the lost hair as part of the normal process. It is only when such a loss is excessive that a problem is noticed.





Insha'Allah, if you are truly concerned about such a possible problem, please, consult your doctor. Such a condition, although not usually life threatening , can be distressing for the individual.





Ma'a salaam.
poor diet, cancer
Have you ever had your thyroid checked? I am HyPothyroid and hair loss is a symptom....





Or it may just be change of season....
Hair Loss Causes





The word ';alopecia'; is the medical term for hair loss. Alopecia does not refer to one specific hair loss disease -- any form of hair loss is an alopecia. The word alopecia is Latin, but can be traced to the Greek ';alopekia,'; which itself comes from alopek, meaning ';fox.'; Literally translated, the word alopecia (alopekia) is the term for mange in foxes.





Unlike alopecia, which describes hair loss where formerly there was hair growth, hypotrichosis describes a situation where there wasn't any hair growth in the first place.





Hair loss can be caused by any number of conditions, reflected in a specific diagnosis. Some diagnoses have alopecia in their title, such as alopecia areata or scarring alopecia, but many do not, such as telogen effluvium.





Alopecia can be caused by many factors from genetics to drugs. While androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness, AGA for short) is by far the most common form of hair loss, dermatologists also see many people with other forms of alopecia. Several hundred diseases have hair loss as a primary symptom.





Probably the most common non-AGA alopecias a dermatologist will see are telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, ringworm, scarring alopecia, and hair loss due to cosmetic overprocessing. Other, more rare forms of hair loss may be difficult to diagnose, and some patients may wait months, even years for a correct diagnosis and undergo consultation with numerous dermatologists until they find one with knowledge of their condition. Plus, with rare diseases, there is little motivation for research to be conducted and for treatments to be developed. Often, even when a correct diagnosis is made, a dermatologist can offer no known treatment for the condition.





Research into hair biology and hair diseases is a very small field, and even research on androgenetic alopecia is quite limited. Perhaps 20 years ago there were fewer than 100 people worldwide who studied hair research in a major way. In recent years, there may be five times as many. This is still a small number compared to, say, diabetes research, but the expanding numbers of researchers investigating hair biology is positive, and eventually should lead to a better understanding and more help for those with rare alopecias.
