Common Triggers of Alopecia Areata in Your 30s
If you’re suddenly losing patches of hair in your thirties, and it’s never happened before, it’s important to find out what’s causing it. Here are some common triggers to be aware of:
- Stress:Â Your thirties often bring significant life changes, such as career advancements, starting a family, or other major responsibilities. These changes can be stressful, and stress is a well-known trigger for alopecia areata.
- Hormonal Shifts:Â Hormonal changes, such as fluctuations in thyroid function, are common in your thirties and can contribute to the onset of alopecia areata.
- Genetics:Â If alopecia areata runs in your family, you may be more susceptible to developing the condition.
- Lifestyle Factors: Poor nutrition and lack of sleep can weaken your body’s defenses, making you more prone to conditions like alopecia areata.
While these triggers can be overwhelming, it’s important to remember that they are manageable.Â
