Stress is a cause of hair loss and it occurs over time. You need a diagnosis so get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to determine if you have genetic hair loss behind what you are observing.

Regarding the possibility that genetic hair loss can be induced to start sooner because of stress… Inheritance does not always follow your father’s or your mother’s father’s pattern. But let’s assume that you do have the genetics for hair loss. Stress will accelerate the process. When you have genetic hair loss, what you lose will […]
For a very short and brief description and without the luxury of a physical exam, I cannot offer much help, but I can suggest that you visit your primary care doctor or a dermatologist to make sure you do not have any other medical causes of hair loss. It sounds like you might.
Just because you have not identified genetic hair loss in your family, does not mean that he did not get it. Genetic hair loss can skip generations. Sounds like he may have it. Best way to find out is to get his hair mapped out for miniaturization and then you will know. Propecia (finasteride) is […]
Stress can induce hair loss. The place where the hair loss occurs is usually the weakest hairs first, then the less weak hairs in the ‘patterned’ hair loss that men experience. Where it is lost is genetically programmed in each and every man. If you are losing hair in the front, then if you get […]
The best I can predict is that if the stress is managed successfully, the impact will be less. If there are other changes like taking Propecia (men only) added, it may be possible to reverse, particularly if you are younger than 30. The younger you are, the more likely the reversal, but when the balding […]
Good question! Stress is part of life. Managing stress is a matter of balance and there are many ways to manage stress properly. As the Bobby McFerrin song from the late 80s says, “Don’t worry, be happy!” Not a bad philosophy, so the key is to manage stress better without necessarily changing your life direction […]
I am sorry to hear there has been so much stress in your life. Emotional stress in itself can cause hair loss. Added to that, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) has also been linked with hair loss. To make your situation worse, chemical hair dyes and bleach can also be a cause of hair loss. It […]
I would expect that the some or all of your hair will return within a year. The body takes months to go through its cycle and the telogen cycle in people can vary between 3-8 months. That is the minimum time to get reversal to show. I am assuming that you do not have genetic […]
Stress is a major cause of hair loss in women with a genetic predisposition to it. You need to have a complete medical work-up to try to identify diseases or conditions that cause hair loss (such as hypothyroidism, eczema, alopecia, dieting, malnutrition, autoimmune, drugs, infection, genetics, etc). Then you need to have your hair mapped […]
The internet is no place to get a good examination of your head, scalp, and hair. A good dermatologist should be a starting point. Some people get hair changes with age that is not necessarily diseased hair, and others get hair thinning and loss from medical problems (see Female Hair Loss on this site to […]
There many reasons for hair loss, such as hypothyroidism, ezcema, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, lupus, drugs, stress, crash diet and infections. I recommend that you have extensive blood work done to rule out many of these causes for your hair loss; a good endodrinologist or dermatologist should be able to do this. Alopecia Areata and […]
Most of the conditions you outlined are known to cause hair loss. Add to that, genetic factors which have been present since your 30’s and you are a set-up for worsening of the hair loss. Clearly, you must get on top of the medical problems you are experiencing. The hair loss is a combination of […]
It appears that you have many reasons for hair loss (stress, testosterone, HGH injections). Clearly a good DHT blocker like Propecia will be far more valuable than Saw Palmetto which is very weak, if effective at all. Still, the combination of contributing factors may not be enough to stop the hair loss. Visit me and […]
Rick asked… Stress is one of the four causes of hair loss in the genetically prone individual. Yes, the minimally invasive surgery, the FOX™ Procedure (Follicular Unit Extraction) can work, but before embarking upon that route, plan on a visit to a competent doctor’s office. If you are in California or the New York area, […]
