What is Hormonal Imbalance?
Before delving into how hormonal imbalances affect hair growth, itβs important to understand what a hormonal imbalance is. Hormones are chemical messengers in the body that regulate numerous functions, from metabolism and immune response to reproductive health and mood. When these hormones are either too high or too low, they can disrupt normal bodily functions and cause symptoms, including hair loss.
Several factors can lead to hormonal imbalances, including stress, medical conditions like polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS), pregnancy, thyroid disorders, and menopause. These imbalances can have significant effects on the health of your hair follicles, leading to excessive shedding or thinning.
