Within a few months, affected hairs might fall out suddenly when simply combing or washing your hair.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trichotillomania.<\/strong> Trichotillomania (trik-o-til-o-MAY-nee-uh) is an irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body. Hair pulling can be a way of dealing with negative or uncomfortable feelings, such as stress, tension, loneliness, boredom or frustration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alopecia areata.<\/strong> A variety of factors are thought to cause alopecia areata (al-o-PEE-she-uh ar-e-A-tuh), possibly including severe stress. With alopecia areata, the body&#8217;s immune system attacks the hair follicles &mdash; causing hair loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stress and hair loss don&#8217;t have to be permanent. And if you get your stress under control, your hair might grow back.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice sudden or patchy hair loss or more than usual hair loss when combing or washing your hair, talk to your doctor. Sudden hair loss can signal an underlying medical condition that requires treatment. If needed, your doctor might also suggest treatment options for your hair loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how stress and hair loss can be related.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[406,1682,163],"class_list":["post-49936","mayo","type-mayo","status-publish","hentry","tag-lifestyle","tag-person-group-concept","tag-stress-management","content_type-answers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Stress and hair loss: Are they related?
