Crohnâs, and other inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, can cause hair loss as they limit the absorption of essential nutrients through the gut. In a healthy human, many nutrients and vitamins are absorbed through the wall of the gut into the bloodstream, to be delivered around the body.
Nervous habits, such as scalp rubbing or hair twisting or pulling may also be responsible for hair loss. These habits may be responses to psychological stress in some people and may be another cause of stress-related hair loss. Excessive hair-pulling is a form of impulse-control disorder medically referred to as trichotillomania. The hair loss from hormonal changes often disappears after a period of months to two years. As with other stress-related symptoms, learning and practicing effective stress-management techniques can help reduce the severity of the symptoms.
