What is main reason women lose hair? female hormones, genes, stress
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes to all and more: They all can be significant factors; individuals may have more of one than the other. Nutritional deficiencies-usually iron or protein can be a factor. Thyroid hormone issues can as well. Other disorders have hair loss as part of the picture, e.g. Lupus. Meds can do it as well.
