If you are also tired of changing shampoos and hair fall is not stopping, then definitely read this article. Here we will tell you how internal hormonal changes can spoil the health of your hair and what is their solution.

Hormonal hair loss: Nowadays many people are troubled by the problem of hair fall. Be it boys or girls. Whatever the age, the health of hair is deteriorating. Whenever hair starts falling, the first thing we do is change the shampoo, try hair oil or start using a new conditioner. But does just changing the shampoo really stop hair fall?

The truth is that hair fall does not stop with just external care. The real reason is often inside our body. Our hormones i.e. hormonal balance has a direct impact on the health of hair. When these hormones become unbalanced, the hair roots become weak and hair starts falling rapidly.

The biggest problem is that we wait too long to understand the reason behind this. By the time we think that maybe the water is not good, the weather is changing or some hair product is not suiting us, a lot of hair is already lost. But a big answer to this is hidden inside the body. Now let us know which are the 5 hormones that can be responsible for hair loss and how do they work.

1. Androgen (DHT)- Androgen, especially a hormone called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), is found in both men and women. When its level increases, it shrinks the hair roots, causing the hair to thin and fall quickly. There are many reasons for the increase in DHT such as stress, deteriorating lifestyle, unhealthy food or even genetic reasons. This hormonal hair loss is especially common in men, but DHT also increases in women in conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
2. Thyroid hormone- Thyroid hormone controls our metabolism and many functions of the body. If it becomes too low (hypothyroidism) or too high (hyperthyroidism), then hair starts falling. Especially if hair fall is accompanied by symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, skin dryness, then definitely get your thyroid checked.
3. Estrogen and progesterone- In women, the balance of estrogen and progesterone can be disturbed during pregnancy, menopause, PCOS or while taking hormonal pills. This slows down hair growth and causes hair loss. Hair fall after pregnancy is a result of this hormonal change.
4. Insulin- Insulin not only controls sugar, but it is also related to hair. When insulin resistance increases in the body, hormonal imbalance occurs in the body, which affects the hair. Especially women suffering from PCOS are more affected by this problem.
5. Cortisol (stress hormone)- Taking too much stress increases the level of cortisol hormone in the body. This directly affects hair growth. Staying under stress for a long time disturbs the hair growth cycle, which leads to hair fall.

So what to do now?

If you are also suffering from hair fall for a long time and have tried all kinds of shampoos, oils or home remedies, then now is the time to check the internal causes. Consult a good doctor and get a blood test done and get your hormonal balance checked. If needed, get medically guided treatment. Also improve your diet. Food rich in protein, iron, vitamin B12, biotin and omega-3 fatty acids is essential for hair. Reduce stress, get good sleep and exercise for a while every day.
