Medically related hair loss extends beyond chemotherapy. Autoimmune conditions, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid imbalance, hormonal shifts, and chronic stress can all affect hair growth in different ways. Because each condition impacts follicles differently, specialized care and a personalized plan matter.

Common medical causes

  • Autoimmune disorders: Conditions such as lupus or psoriasis can inflame the scalp and contribute to patchy or widespread shedding.
  • Thyroid disorders: Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to diffuse thinning.
  • Hormonal fluctuations: PCOS and post-menopausal changes can alter hair density and increase shedding over time.
  • Nutritional and gastrointestinal issues: Malabsorption, including celiac disease, or iron deficiency can result in chronic shedding and reduced volume.
