Lower female hormones might be the most common culprit, but other contributing factors may need to be considered as well. These risk factors include genetic predisposition, unusual levels of stress, other hormonal imbalances — like thyroid, for example — nutritional or iron deficiencies, crash diets, as well as illness, medications and your surgical history. I would suggest you try a few of these simple steps:
- Keep your stress levels low.
- Eat a balanced diet.
- Exercise.
- Drink LOTS of water.
- Try not to dye your hair or apply a lot of heat. No chemicals and natural is best.
- Talk to you doctor about your medications.
