Hair loss
Hair loss is a very common, natural process that often occurs as part of the ageing process, although there are other conditions with symptoms of hair loss.
These conditions include alopecia, thyroid problems, protein deficiencies, anaemia, stress, emotional trauma, side effects from medications, and other psychological conditions.
Hair loss can also be due to hormonal changes and imbalances in the body that occur during puberty, menopause or pregnancy.
Hair loss in itself is not medically harmful, but it can trigger personal insecurities.
