Can thrush cause hair loss?

I've been dealing with a recurring thrush infection for a while, and coincidentally, my hair seems to be thinning more than usual. I'm just curious, is there any chance that thrush could actually be causing my hair loss?

I had oral thrush a few years ago due to some heavy antibiotics, and around the same time, I noticed my hair was falling out in clumps. It might have been the stress on my body or the antibiotics rather than the thrush itself, but it was really stressful.

Beta, thrush means there is too much heat and imbalance in the body, which can affect your hair roots too. Eating fresh curd and keeping your gut clean helps, but you must consult a doctor if the infection persists.

Yes, systemic fungal issues can definitely stress the body and lead to hair thinning. Getting a proper antifungal treatment from a doctor usually stops it.

Any infection in the body increases stress, and as someone who manages high BP, I know how stress affects our hair and health. Make sure you get a proper checkup done to treat the infection quickly so your body can recover.

Whoa, I didn't know thrush could affect hair too, that sounds terrible! If you are losing hair along with having thrush, you should probably talk to a doc instead of trying random hair oils, bro.
