hormone imbalances cause hair thinning or shedding

Hormonal Hair Loss, also known as Hormonal Alopecia, refers to hair loss caused by imbalances or changes in hormone levels. Common examples include androgenetic alopecia, where dihydrotestosterone (DHT) affects hair follicles, and hair loss related to thyroid disorders, pregnancy, menopause, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This type of hair loss can affect both men and women and often requires medical evaluation to identify and treat the underlying hormonal issue.
