Does stress affect success ratio of hair transplant?

Advancement in science and technology has made our living so comfortable. It has made things very easy and within reach. However, there are plenty of drawbacks associated with modern living such as noise, pollution, traffic, and most crucial, stress. While most people suffer from stress due to job, relationship, exams, family, and money. There are other reasons also that makes life extra-stressful. 

One of the biggest causes of stress is hair loss. In some cases where people take extreme stress, they can even suffer from male pattern baldness. In this condition, the immune system begins to attack the hair follicles causing severe hair loss or bald spots. 

Though stress is considered as a major reason for hair loss but do you know it can also affect hair growth after the hair transplant? So, it is very crucial to address the problem of stress before undergoing surgery. Also, if the hair loss is because of male pattern baldness, then it can be safely assumed that the patient does not suffer from anxiety, depression or stress.  

When you consult the doctor for your hair concerns, be open in your conversation and tell him clearly if you’re suffering from stress. This will help him deal with your condition properly and your hair will respond well after a good hair transplant surgery. 

There are quite a few ways to tackle stress if you’re planning to go for surgery. You can engage yourself in meditation, art and craft activities, yoga, exercise, listening to music etc. Apart from this, maintaining a well balanced and healthy diet is recommended. 

Every patient has to understand that the first and foremost thing is to deal with the mental issues and then undergo surgery for the best results. So that your mental condition doesn’t interfere with your hair growth.
