  • Having too much tea, coffee, deep fried food, spicy or sour food or smoking excessively can also increase acidity in the body and cause hair loss.
  • Use of some medicines (especially without medical consultation) can cause hair loss too, as can some infections.
  • Low blood circulation can also cause hair loss as the scalp does not receive adequate nourishment. Anemia and general weakness should be a telling sign.
  • Typhoid and some other diseases can also cause sudden excessive hair fall.
  • Stress, tension, anxiety are well-known causes.
  • Heredity can also be an important factor.
  • Hair loss can occur due to excessive shampooing and blow drying too.
  • Hair loss can be caused due to habits like compulsive hair pulling (trichotillomania) or rubbing the scalp harshly.
  • Inadequate intake of vitamins and food with high nutritional value.

PostHeaderIcon Is Rogaine illegal in china? Like if I bring rogaine to china and they find it will I be sent away to prison?

You know Rogaine the topical treatment for male hairloss.

Its a foam you apply to the scalp twice a day.

I am just making sure b/c last thing I want is to "disappear" for a few years in some horrible chinese prison doing hard labor.

Rogaine is just a brand of Minoxidil. And it is very legal in China. You can take reasonable amount for personal usage into China with no problem at all.

If you take the foam container, it may be a safety concern of the airline though. Check with your airline first. Probably you cannot take it with you carry-ons. This has nothing to do with China.

If you are not a Chinese citizen, you will not simply disappear, even if you do illegal things, like drug traffic. In that case, you may be executed after a trial, but people will know.

PostHeaderIcon Anybody know anything about birth control pills and hair loss?

Does switching brands or levels cause hair loss?? Please help! I need to know soon. I am about to switch to Yasmin from Ortho Tricylen Lo. I’m thinking I shouldn’t switch cuz it might throw my hormones off and I will lose more hair. My hair is already thinning.

weird..im on the pill and my hair has been falling out like crazy…i didnt think it was related!

PostHeaderIcon Why would a doctor be dismissive…?

…when you report a named side-effect of a prescription medicine? Surely this data should be noted and doctor should give feedback on patient observations.
A close relative of mine was prescribed the anti-inflammatory prescription medicine ‘Voltarol’ (diclofenac sodium) and was convinced of suffering as a consequence one of the rarer named side-effects (1 in 100,000) of substantial hair-loss – whilst taking this drug. 75mg dosage for 4 years.

She stopped taking it and the problem seems to have abated.
The doctor was not interested in discussing it.

Doctors get "perks" from pharmaceutical companies. The more of the medication doctors prescribe, and the less reports of side-effects, the better the "perks."

PostHeaderIcon I am using propecia for hairloss: how long should i use it minimum to reach a stable level?

and do i have to continue the treatment for the rest of life? ( i mean after 1 year if i stop the medication the results will be reveresed and i will lose all the regrown hair if any?)

The best person to ask is your doctor who has seen the type and extent of your hair loss.Can’t use Propecia for the rest of your life. It is kind of toxic to the liver if used for life-long. Not everyone loses their regrown hair.
Try lasercomb and rogaine as well. Rogaine helps to maintain the new hairs and so does the laser comb.
Get your hormones and liver function tests checked by the doctor.

PostHeaderIcon Alesse birth control pills and hair loss?

I’ve been on Alesse for almost two months now, and recently I started noticing a lot more hair loss, especially in the mornings, the shower, and after I brush it. I’m not really all that stressed, and I’ve always taken really good care of my hair, so I’m thinking it’s the pill but I just now started noticing the hair loss… I heard you’re supposed to stay on a new pill for at least 3 months to let your body adjust to it but it’s just so frustrating! I’m only 19 and I reeeally don’t want to lose my hair. Should I just stay on it to see if it goes away or switch pills asap? Thanks!

I would recommend going to see a Gynecologist or even just a regular doctor

PostHeaderIcon Hair loss after Chemotherapy?

I had 4 out of my 6 Chemo treatments. But I haven’t had any more Chemo treatments for 2 months because my blood tests were coming back with low white blood cell counts and with low platelette counts so my doctor put off my last two treatments that I’m supposed to have. Now my blood levels are good so I had a Chemo treatment on last Friday. The thing is that my hair has grown back like a half inch already since my last Chemo 2 months ago. So will all of the new hair that I finaly grew back in fall out again now that I’m back on Chemo for two more treatments?
I was completely bald after my first Chemo, but now have 1 inch hair I’m afraid will fall out again now Chemo started again.

Not all chemos cause hair loss, but if you’re receiving the same chemo as before then I’m afraid you can expect to lose it again. Take heart though, it’s not permanent and yours grows back quickly so just grin and bear it. Some fantastic wigs and scarves available if you want to cover up.
I wish you all the best for a positive outcome with your treatment :-) )

PostHeaderIcon Tamiflu causes hairloss?

I started taking tamiflu four days ago and my hair is coming out like crazy. It started yesterday. Is this normal? It doesnt say anything about hairloss in the sideeffects paperwork. I saw one other post about this happening to someone else. Does it stop after the treatment?

Ok, I started taking it on Wed. 28th and I noticed massive hair loss as well. I found your question in my search. I am 37 and I am worried I have some other type of immune/ or endocrine condition.
