Glandular Fever with Hepatitis of the Liver Caused My Hair Loss?
Hi!!
I was just wondering. I am a 19 year old male and as a younger teenager i had very thick dark hair. Earlier this year i had severe glandular fever with hepatitus of the liver. It is now 7 months since then, but ever since, my hair has been falling out quite alot and my hair seems thinner too. When my hair is wet, my scalp is noticeable and their seems to be large spaces between each hair strand. I was wondering if the hepatitus of the liver or the glandular fever i had could lead to this hair loss even though it is now 7 months later; or is this permanent?? please let me know as it is very damaging to my self esteem and atleast if i knew i would know if it will grow back or not.
Infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as glandular fever, is a viral infection, which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. This disease often impacts the liver and produces a form of hepatitis. If you are genetically predisposed for balding, then the stress of the disease could well be the precipitating factor that can accelerate your normal aging balding problem. Best to get your hair mapped out for miniaturization and assuming that I am correct, consider starting Propecia. The earlier you do this, the better off you will be. My heart goes out to you through this process and fortunately there is a solution, but you need to act sooner rather than later, as genetic hair loss at some point is irreversible.
