Hmm have you been eating enough. Dieting is not healthy, anyway sounds like that’s the problem.
It could be malnourishment. If you’re not getting the right nutrients this can happen.
It is worth seeing a doctor to check though.
ur pregnant obviously u stupid slut
Colon cleaning is the new technique to lose weight. Scientists have highlighted the fact that not all extra weight is due to additional fat, a load of weight basically sits there in the colon, and all you have to do is rinse it out. http://winets.wholeness2u.info has a risk free trial on currently, give it a try out, you can lose up to 20 lbs!
Either stress or poor nutrition. Take a good look at your diet and check you’re getting all the nutrients you need. If this doesn’t help, then it sounds like it’s just your body reacting to stress, and it should stop in time.
Ive asked my grandmother who was a nurse and she told me it is possible to miss periods each month.I dont know about the hair loss problem though srry.Hope I helped GobBLeSS!!
Do you eat enough? or maybe you’re over exersizing. the only way to know for sure whats going on is to see your doctor :]
are u sure ur nt pregnant? but u might be stressed but just to make sure everythings ok go see ur doctor
This happened to me as well they did an ultra sound and showed I have cysts in my ovaries, are you having abdominal(cramps) pain? you definetly need to tell your doctor what’s going wrong, or if your overweight lose some weight and change your diet, this could help. In my case I need to gain the weight and eat more meats and dairy products, hope this helped, look up PCOS Symptoms and see if your having something more in depth
Go to the Doctor if it persists!!! :]
Your not alone!
you should go to a doctor first, but from my experience it may be Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, you miss periods ( i only get them twice a year) your hair can fall out or thin out, you may gain weight and you can experience mood swings as it is a hormonal driven syndrome. First treatment is placing you on birth control to regulate your periods. But see a doctor first as they can better explain than us.

You should go to a dermatology since it could be many many things. Thinning is how women have the hair loss , is not in the same way that males. Also you can do a research on a hair loss forum like http://www.hairlossforum.com or http://www.savingmyhair.com . There are many teenagers that suffer from hair loss.
The following causes should be investigated if you are experiencing more-than-normal hair loss:
1.Diet: An unbalanced diet, especially one without enough protein, can cause temporary hair loss. Women who are anemic often experience loss.
2.Menopause: Because of the change in hormones during this period, hair loss can escalate, and, unfortunately, this can be permanent.
3.Frequent Shampooing: Shampoos contain a lathering ingredient called surfactant. This can be irritating to the scalp and cause itching and scratching, thus increased hair loss.
4.Improper Care: If you manipulate your hair too much, color and treat too much, blow dry and heat with curling irons and hot rollers too much, you will see increased hair loss. You need only to look at your bathroom floor, sink and countertops to notice this. Slow down!
5.Psychological/Physiological Stress: Increased hair loss can occur with pregnancies, major surgery, or a major life event, such as a death or divorce. These causes are temporary and hair growth will return to normal eventually.
6.Heredity: Heredity plays a part and comes from both sides of the family.
7.Other Health Conditions: Thyroid problems, lupus, and diabetes can accelerate hair loss. Obviously, these need to be diagnosed by a physician.
8.Alopecia Areata: This is an autoimmune condition characterized by circular patches of baldness. Basically, the body is attacking the hair follicles. Cortisone shots in the affected areas are required, and the earlier the better.Take heart. There’s a lot of research going on which may soon resolve most of the causes of hair loss in women.
