You have suggested the many reasons why you experienced the hair loss. I can not tell you which is more possible than the other. It could be from changing the dosing, or it could be from bad medication (I don’t know if it was indeed a scam), or it could be from stress… or it […]

Stress has been observed by many doctors as a cause contributing to the hair loss equation. Keep in mind that hair loss has other genetic factors that are influenced by environmental factors, and stress is one of the more obvious mechanisms. I do not believe stress increases DHT levels.
In response to a recent post about stress hair loss vs genetic causes: These numbers of 6 or 12 months are in the ballpark of what we see. It’s an educated guess based upon experience over a long time frame. Either number works, but clearly, if you see regrowth in 6 months then you’re on […]
Stress related hair loss may generally take up to one year to grow back for women, but for men it may reflect an acceleration of the genetic pattern that they are destined for.
Telogen effluvium could be a contraindication for hair transplants if the process is still going on. A visit to my office is critical before any conclusions be drawn. I would want to do a pull test and measure your hair for miniaturization and bulk. That will help me confirm your active diagnosis.
We’ve actually written about this before a couple times (most recently here). While stress may have contributed to Prince William’s hair loss, genetics are much more likely to be the reason. There is known genetic hair loss in his family tree, and although his father Prince Charles may have a strong hairline, the top of […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full article at NY Times — In Surprise Finding, Bald Mice Find Their Fur Again Doctors interviewed in the article are cautioning that not only might this mouse study not be applicable to humans, but that even if it is, it would likely only lead to treating stress-related hair […]
If your hair loss is genetic (
Any stress could potentially cause hair loss (called telogen effluvium), and certainly the emotional and physical toll of war is among those stressors. I couldn’t say with any degree of certainty that your hair will regrow again, but if you saw regrowth the last time you were home, I’d hope you’d see the same regrowth […]
If I had to guess, it sure sounds like alopecia areata, due to the many bald spots you’re describing. It might just be stress or hormone related, but it can be a serious problem and you should see a doctor to get the proper diagnosis. While breastfeeding does not cause hair loss, thinning hair can […]
I’d assume you would be able to regrow some hair if you knew for sure that the loss was stress/sleep related, but it can take up to one year. If the timing of your hair loss was coincidental (meaning you had genetic hair loss, but you had a period of stress at the same time) […]
I would doubt that stress is elevating DHT levels. Men with hair loss and thinning at the top/crown are mostly likely to have genetic male pattern baldness. Yes, DHT is one of the factors, but your genes are ultimately to blame. Chances are, the loss you’re seeing is coincidental to your entering pharmacy school. If […]
Telogen effluvium usually reverses by itself as the hair moves from telogen to anagen (see hair cycle info). This cycle varies between people, but usually the telogen phase lasts 3-7 months. Genetically impacted hair also cycles, so the answer to your question is that the finer hairs that are miniaturized will cycle and return, unless […]
Stresses (emotional, surgical, medical, etc) can all cause some degree of hair loss. It usually takes about one year or so before you notice the hairs regrow once the stress is under control. Or, it could be the medication you’re on. Divigel (estradiol gel) does list mild hair loss as a common side effect. It […]
There is clearly a link between hair loss and stress. We see it all of the time in people with hereditary hair loss. The hair loss can be brought on during the stress of the college student (for example) or during illness. I do not believe we understand the mechanism of it, though.
