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.
Hair loss can also be due to medications used to treat cancer, high blood pressure, arthritis, depression, and heart problems. A physical or emotional shock may trigger noticeable hair loss. Examples of this type of shock include a death in the family, extreme weight loss, or a high fever. People with trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) have a compulsion to pull out their hair, usually from their head, eyebrows, or eyelashes.
