Alopecia
16 Oct 2008, by ALOPECIA AREATA, HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED inQuestion
Why is my hair falling out to the point where I appear to have lost about half of my hair in the last month?
It comes out in handfuls, but has not left any bald patches that I am aware of.
Answer
This is a surprisingly common problem and so in such cases I always suggest you see your GP and arrange some simple blood tests in the first instance.
This is to check you are not anaemic, low in thyroid hormone, suffering from an early menopause or have any other obvious deficiency in your blood.
Alopecia is usually stress related and settles by itself long term, but to avoid undue worry get the tests done and then any deficiencies can be sorted out.
