\"The<\/a>There are many things that are common in our lives but one thing that many of us have in common is that we go through life with stress as a companion. Another thing that children, men and women can have in common is hair loss. Have you ever thought that perhaps there may be a connection?<\/p>\n

Have you noticed thinning hair or areas of your scalp that are more scalp than hair? If you suffer from\u00a0hair loss<\/a>\u00a0there may be many reasons for it including poor diet, a side effect of a medication, heredity, a symptom of a condition or illness and stress. Yes, stress can cause\u00a0hair loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We experience stress in a physical manner such as when our bodies are traumatized in an accident or we can experience emotional stress such as when a family member dies. Another stress is mental stress such as when we become stressed out over an out of balance checkbook.<\/p>\n

The stress we encounter in our lives can result in two types of\u00a0hair loss<\/a>. One is classified as telogen effluvium and the other\u00a0alopecia<\/a>\u00a0areata.<\/p>\n

Of the two types of\u00a0hair loss<\/a>\u00a0we can encounter as a result of stress, telogen effluvium is the less severe form of hair loss. Telogen effluvium presents as hair that stops growing and remains in the resting stage for 2 to 3 months. This \u201cdormant\u201d hair will then fall out and be replaced by new\u00a0hair growth<\/a>\u00a0within 6 to 9 months. The length of time it takes to have new\u00a0hair growth<\/a>\u00a0will depend upon the condition of your scalp, and what has caused your hair to fall out in the first place.<\/p>\n

Alopecia<\/a>\u00a0areata occurs when white blood cells attack the hair follicles. Several weeks after the attack of white cells, hair will fall out in patches. Individuals who have\u00a0alopecia<\/a>\u00a0areata can also have\u00a0hair loss<\/a>\u00a0over the entire scalp hair.\u00a0Alopecia<\/a>\u00a0is not limited to the hair on your scalp it can happen with any of your body hair.<\/p>\n

You can experience more than one hair loss factor at the same time along with the stress factor.<\/p>\n

If you are wondering how to know if your hair loss is caused by stress or not, have a talk with your doctor. In order to determine if your\u00a0hair loss<\/a>\u00a0is caused by stress, your doctor will give you a physical examination and will take a current medical history.<\/p>\n

If you are not sure what can cause stress in your life take a look at this list and see if any of these things have happened to you over the last 6 months:<\/p>\n
