HORMONAL PROBLEMS AND THEIR RELATION TO HAIR LOSS

The condition of our hair is an indicator of the overall well-being of the body. Hair loss, although common, often generates concern and a search for its causes. One of the main causes to consider are the hormonal problems and baldness.

HOW DO HORMONES WORK IN OUR BODY?

Hormones are key chemicals that regulate countless functions in our bodies, from metabolism to mood. They play a vital role in hair health, and an imbalance can directly affect the quality and growth cycle of hair.

HORMONAL INFLUENCE ON HAIR HEALTH

Hormones directly impact the hair cycle. For example, DHT, derived from testosterone, can cause thinning and hair loss by interfering with the growth cycle. You can learn more about this in our article DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE (DHT): THE MAIN CULPRIT IN BALDNESS.

In women, hormonal fluctuations such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause or due to thyroid problems can also affect hair health.

OTHER HORMONES AND THEIR EFFECT

Prolactin, for example, can cause hair loss if found in high levels. Similarly, cortisol, known as the stress hormone, in high concentrations, can lead to thinning hair. Insulin, linked to diabetes, can also affect the health of our scalp if it is not balanced.
