Be it men or women, hair fall is a common problem. However, if we talk about women, hair fall occurs more in them after the age of 40 years. In many cases it is beyond control. Why does hair fall increase after 40? Is this due to any disease? How can this be controlled? Let us know about this from experts.
Dr. Soumya Sachdeva in the Department of Dermatology at Max Hospital It is said that there are many reasons for hair fall after the age of 40. The most common reason is that menopause occurs in some women after this age. Due to this, they become deficient in many hormones which causes hair fall. Even if a woman is deficient in iron, vitamin D and biotin, these also cause weakness of hair.
In the last few years, it has been seen that the cases of hair fall in women above 40 years of age have increased significantly as compared to before. There are many reasons for this.
Dr. Soumya says that mental stress is also a major cause of hair fall in women. Health problems caused by mental stress have been increasing in the last few years. These are affecting the hair also. Mental stress hinders hair growth and causes hair fall. In some cases, autoimmune diseases are also a cause of hair fall. There is no cure for these diseases, hence they cause continuous hair fall.
In some women, hair fall can also occur due to thyroid disease and diabetes. In such cases, if thyroid is controlled and diabetes is also controlled, hair fall can be controlled.
