What diseases cause hair loss?

Question

My hair has been falling out quite a bit recently, more than usual. I've tried some home remedies, but it's not really helping. Could there be some underlying health issue causing this hair loss?

Achha, hair loss. Beta, this is very common, especially as you get older. Thyroid issues are a big one, my wife had it. Also, sometimes just stress or not eating properly can make your hair fall. It's not always a 'disease' in the scary sense, but definitely worth getting checked.

Oh, the list is long, my friend. My hair is leaving me faster than my youth! 😂 Thyroid issues are notorious for it. Anemia, some autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, even chronic stress. Basically, if your body is unhappy, your hair shows it first. Better get it checked.

Yaar, hair loss can be such a nightmare, actually. The usual suspects are thyroid problems, anaemia (iron deficiency), and then PCOS for women. Alopecia areata is also a thing. And don't forget stress, it literally makes your hair run away! So many reasons, haan.

Hair loss can be expensive to treat if you don't know the cause. Thyroid problems and anemia are common, and the tests for those usually aren't too costly. But then there are autoimmune diseases like alopecia which can be harder and more expensive. So best to check the basics first.

Bro, my hair started falling out like crazy when I was super stressed during exams. My doc said it could also be genetics, or things like thyroid issues or even just not enough vitamins. So many reasons, man. Better get it checked properly.
