Health

Written by:

There are many reasons you might lose hair, including stress, genes, age, or a hormone imbalance. It’s best to combat the hair loss earlier before it gets too late and there are some ways you can do this like managing stress levels with relaxation techniques, eating extra protein, scalp massages, or medication. These methods don’t always work and you might end up needing a hair transplant. 

Why do hormones affect hair growth?

It’s the body’s levels of estrogen and progesterone dropping that can cause your hair to fall out. Hair will grow slower and become thinner if these levels drop and this is when problems start. Androgens will be triggered when these hormones decrease and hair follicles will consequently stop your hair from falling out. When this happens you will need to use effective methods to balance out your hormones or go for a hair transplants in Turkey.

Hair loss due to menopause 

Hair loss is slightly less avoidable if it is down to menopause, many women don’t realise it is not only hot flushes menopause will cause. Your hair might fall out when you’re going through menopause because the production of oestrogen and progesterone in the body will drop, these are the main hormones that make your hair grow. Many women find their hair becomes thinner and doesn’t grow as much during menopause. It isn’t just balding men that go for hair transplants. 

How to make your hair grow faster 

There are some supplements on the market that claim to make your hair grow faster but they don’t always work, and you might end up going for a hair transplant if you don’t combat the hair loss fast enough. To make your hair grow instead of fall out you should focus on your diet and minimise stress levels, it will be more difficult if you have a hormone imbalance or if you’re going through menopause. 

What are your options if you can’t stop your hair from falling out? 

If you have tried everything to stop your hair from falling out you have two main options to go for, a wig if it has completely fallen out or a hair transplant. Turkey is the best place to get your transplant as the surgeons are highly qualified and well-reviewed. It’s much cheaper than getting a transplant in the UK or in other countries but you will have to be willing to travel and book some time off to recover. The procedure is quite straightforward but the aftercare must be followed carefully to avoid infections and heal quickly. 

Now you know it could be your hormones causing you to lose hair you can find some ways to balance them out. It could of course be other factors causing your hair loss but it’s best to minimise any possible causes. If you believe it is too late to combat the hair loss you can get a hair transplant to boost your confidence levels and make you feel better.
