My Hair Fall Has Increased Suddenly. Is It Health Related?

Sudden hair shedding can occur after:

• Significant stress
• Illness or fever
• Rapid weight loss
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Hormonal changes

Hair growth typically follows a cycle, and increased shedding may appear weeks or months after a triggering event.

Maintaining a balanced diet rich in protein, iron, zinc, and vitamins may help. Persistent or severe hair loss should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
