Hair loss is not the main symptom, but in some cases, there is a hair loss. Let’s take a closer look at what kind of Illnesses that cause hair loss.
Collagen disease
Collagen disease is a general term for diseases that cause inflammation and degeneration in the connective tissues of the skin and internal organs, blood vessels, and the like.
These include systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic scleroderma. There are many symptoms of collagen disease, one of which is hair loss.
However, it cannot be said unequivocally because there are individual differences in whether hair loss occurs.
In addition, there are various treatment methods, so if you are diagnosed with collagen disease.
It is important to receive appropriate treatment according to the doctor’s instructions.
Syphilis
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by the pathogen Treponema pallidum.
The route of infection is sexual activity that involves mucosal contact with people infected with Treponema pallidum.
In addition, touching a large amount of contaminated Treponema pallidum may intrude into the body through a wound.
First, it is characterized by lumps and ulcers that develop about 3 weeks after the infection.
Symptoms disappear once, and after 4-10 weeks, symptoms such as hair loss, general skin rash, and fever will occur.
Syphilis needs to be treated as soon as possible, so see the clinic as soon as the first symptoms appear.
Iron deficiency anemia
Iron deficiency anaemia is a disease in which iron deficiency reduces the production of haemoglobin.
It plays a role in transporting oxygen throughout the body, causing fatigue, stiff shoulders, palpitations, shortness of breath, and hair loss.
Since nutrients and oxygen are required to grow hair, lack of haemoglobin negatively affects hair growth and increases hair loss.
You can expect improvement by taking enough iron.
By visiting the clinic, you will be able to have your doctor prescribe iron tablets upon examination.
Even if you think you have iron-deficiency anaemia, it is not possible to take supplements, etc., as you may have another illness.
Hair loss due to side effects of drugs
Hair loss may occur as a result of side effects of the drug.
There are various drugs that can cause hair loss, such as anti-cancer agents, anti-fungal agents, anti-diabetic agents, antidepressants, anti-inflammatory and analgesics, and appetite suppressants.
However, not all drugs have the side effect of hair loss.
There are also individual differences in whether hair loss occurs. If you are interested, check with your doctor or pharmacist in detail when prescribed.
You may be able to change to a type of medicine that does not cause hair loss.
Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease)
Hyperthyroidism is a disease in which hair loss occurs due to increased metabolism due to increased thyroid function.
If your metabolism becomes too active, your undergrown hair will fall out.
It is also related to the lack of zinc needed for hair growth.
Those who suffer from alopecia should visit the clinic early!
If you are suffering from alopecia, it is important to visit a clinic as soon as possible to find out the cause.
If left untreated, hair loss may deteriorate and a strong complex may be formed.
Although some people may be too busy to go to the clinic, we do not recommend that you delay your visit because of your busy schedule.
