Is your hair loss just due to stress or there is some underlying disease causing it?

If you’re wondering whether your hair loss is due to stress, you should know that stress and hair loss are related. Also, there might be some underlying disease causing hair loss. Read on to know more.

Types of hair loss associated with stress

There are three types of hair loss that can be associated with high-stress levels.

• Alopecia Areata: A range of elements are thought to cause alopecia areata, perhaps including severe stress. With alopecia areata, your body's immune system attacks the hair follicles which, in turn, causing hair loss.
• Trichotillomania: Trichotillomania is an irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body. Hair pulling is a way of dealing with bad or painful feelings such as stress, tension, loneliness, boredom or frustration.
• Telogen effluvium: In telogen effluvium, major stress pushes large numbers of hair follicles into a resting phase. Within a few months, affected hair might fall out suddenly when combing or washing your hair.

Underlying diseases associated with hair loss

Listed below are the most common underlying diseases associated with hair loss.

• Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism (too little hormone) may cause a host of symptoms, including hair becoming more brittle and break more easily.
• Lupus: Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which your body's immune system attacks healthy tissues. It is observed that many people experience hair loss which might be mild and occur while shampooing or brushing your hair. Or it might be more severe, coming out in patches and accompanied by a rash on the scalp.
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: PCOS can cause facial hair growth, irregular periods, acne, and cysts on the ovaries. And while you might experience hair loss on your scalp, you might notice more hair elsewhere on the body.
• Lichen planus: This affects areas in which hair grows, such as the scalp. There might be redness and irritation. This type of lichen planus sometimes causes hair loss as well.
• Ringworm: Ringworm on your scalp tends to start out as a bump or small sore. It might turn flaky and scaly and your scalp might feel tender and sore to the touch. You might notice that your hair starts to fall out in patches.
