Induced Alopecia Due to Medical Condition
Hair loss resulting from specific medical conditions or treatments, such as autoimmune diseases, medications, or severe illnesses.
Hair loss that occurs as a side effect of certain medical treatments or illnesses. Unlike hereditary hair loss, this type of alopecia is triggered by an external factor, often necessary for treating a more serious health issue.
Common Causes Include:
- Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy: These Cancer Treatments can damage the hair follicles, leading to partial or total hair loss. While often temporary, the experience can be emotionally difficult.
- Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like lupus or thyroid disease can cause the immune system to attack healthy hair follicles.
- Medications: Drugs used to treat high blood pressure, depression, arthritis, or even hormonal imbalance can disrupt the hair growth cycle.
- Chronic Illness or Stress: Serious illness or systemic stress on the body can shock the hair follicles into resting phase, leading to noticeable shedding.
Though the hair loss may not be permanent, it can still deeply affect a persons self image, confidence, and sense of control.
