What causes hair fall and can you cure it?

Hair fall is actually a normal occurrence for everybody, but when it exceeds the average hair count, it becomes a different and alarming issue all together.

In a recent Pinoy MD episode, Dr. Jean Marquez listed several causes of hair fall:

• Stress
• Hormonal imbalance
• Iron deficiency
• Hyperthyroidism

Marquez highlighted stress especially:  "It's very common, lalo na pag mage-exam. Doon talaga makakapansin."

To be sure what causes your hair fall, Marquez suggests you consult a dermatologist who will, in turn give you laboratory exams.

Marquez said that it's important to target the cause of the hair fall. She said, "So if it's nutritional, give proper nutrition, vitamins. If it's stress, pwede silang mag-relax."

"Di ka talaga pwede manghula," she added. — LA, GMA News
