Why do I constantly experience hair loss?
Disease description:
I’ve been experiencing excessive hair loss recently—especially on the top of my head—over the past month. What could be causing this?
Excessive hair loss is associated with numerous factors.
- Psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, depression, and high levels of psychological pressure can contribute to persistent hair shedding.
- Androgenetic alopecia: This common form of hair loss is primarily genetically determined and often presents as seborrheic alopecia.
- Dietary factors: Rapid weight loss or inadequate nutrition—particularly deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals—may trigger excessive hair loss.
- Hair care practices: Frequent shampooing or the use of harsh, irritating hair care products can also damage the scalp and hair follicles, leading to increased shedding.
