Hair Loss Due to Effects of Hair Cycle

Hair Loss Due to Effects of Hair Cycle
Many circumstances affect the hair cycle so that at a given time more than 5% of the hairs are available to fall out. The patient must tolerate these conditions until natural factors correct the hair cycle or stabilize it at a new percentage. Factors such as heredity, age, hormones, and shocks to the system such as fever, infection, pregnancy, and medications such as birth control pills, all affect this system.
Pregnancy and birth control pills act in a similar way to keep a large number of hairs, through hormonal support, in a growth phase for a long period of time. When the pregnancy ends or the pills are stopped or the body escapes from the effect of the pill on the hair cycle, a large number of hairs which should have fallen out a long time ago are now going to fall out over a short period of time until the hair cycle recovers This condition will last a short period of time until the hair cycle "normalizes". This condition will last up until all of the hairs are lost that must fall - about six months. Treatments here are of no value since the body will correct the condition itself
