    GlossaryHormonal Disturbances

    Hormonal disturbances refer to imbalances in the body's hormone levels, which can significantly impact hair growth and health. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and menopause can lead to increased hair shedding or thinning, particularly in women. Key distinguishing characteristics include changes in hair texture, density, and growth patterns, often accompanied by other symptoms like weight gain or changes in menstrual cycles. Understanding these disturbances is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair loss effectively.
