Hormones help regulate hair growth - so hormonal disorders of one form or another are a relatively common cause of hair loss, including loss of body hair. Hypothyroidism - a condition where the thyroid hormone in the body is low - can cause general body hair loss.
When stress is the cause, hair will grow back over several months. A serious deficiency in protein, iron, zinc, or other nutrients can make hair fall out. Hair loss in women can also be a symptom of a disorder such as lupus or diabetes. Some medications can cause hair loss. Common culprits include lithium, beta-blockers, warfarin, and heparin. This is an autoimmune disease that makes hair fall out in small, round patches. In some cases, it can cause total baldness. A corticosteroid applied to the scalp or injected can help.
