Excessive Hair Shedding & Hair Loss Consultations in Hampshire
Excessive hair shedding occurs when more hair than usual falls out during the natural hair growth cycle. Although losing approximately 50–100 hairs a day is considered normal, noticeably increased shedding may indicate an underlying issue affecting hair growth.
Understanding Excessive Hair Shedding
At Solent Trichology Clinic in Gosport, we provide professional consultations for excessive hair shedding, helping men and women across Fareham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Hampshire understand the possible causes and explore suitable treatment options.
What Causes Excessive Hair Shedding?
Excessive shedding is often associated with a condition called Telogen Effluvium, which occurs when an increased number of hair follicles enter the resting phase of the hair growth cycle.
Common contributing factors include:
- Stress & Anxiety – Significant physical or emotional stress can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle.
- Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and thyroid disorders may contribute to increased shedding.
- Illness & Surgery – High fevers, infections and major medical procedures can trigger temporary hair loss.
- Nutritional Deficiencies – Low iron levels, restrictive diets and inadequate nutrition can affect hair growth.
- Medications – Certain prescribed medicines may contribute to excessive shedding.
- Rapid Weight Loss – Sudden changes in weight or nutritional intake can disrupt the hair growth cycle.
