Causes of Hair Loss in Women – What Are the Facts?
Are you as frustrated as I am? We have such an abundance of information at our fingertips these days and often it is hard to determine the true facts. I am a simple person and here are simple facts that you should know.
Causes of hair loss in women can be narrowed down into three main categories; hereditary, hormone swings or imbalances, and serious health issues.
Heredity
Heredity is the primary factor in determining whether a woman or man will encounter a thinning of the crown. Nearly 85 million Americans are faced with some amount of balding on their scalp. For women, 1 in 4 will encounter a reduction of their hair due to their genetic make up.
While men generally have a distinct receding hairline, women tend to experience a thinning throughout the front and top of the scalp without distinct lines.
The good news is that hereditary hair loss is treatable with an FDA approved medication called minoxidil. This is the only medication approved by the FDA for women. While minoxidil can not guarantee your hair will re-grow, it is highly likely that it will slow or stop the balding condition. About 20% to 25% of women do experience addition growth.
Hormone Swings or Imbalances
Hormonal swings or imbalances are brought about for many reasons. When this happens, it is not uncommon for women to experience a reduction in her mane. Oftentimes, once the body returns back to its normal state, re-growth will occur.
Childbirth can cause an imbalance of hormones resulting in a thinning on the scalp. Fortunately, your body is likely to return back to its normal state and your locks should return.
Thyroid imbalances should certainly be discussed and diagnosed with your doctor. These conditions can normally be treated, and after words your hair will likely re-grow. So it is important to consult your physician for the proper treatments.
Serious Health Issues
As many know, serious health issues and treatments may cause your crown to thin or disappear altogether. Unfortunately, my first hand experience when my wife underwent chemotherapy was devastating for her. However, the good news is that her beautiful locks all came back.
It is important to talk with your doctor about what medications have the side affect of thinning on your crown, and to ask for alternatives if that is an option.
Conclusion
Causes of hair loss in women are varied. Research has not been as in depth as one might hope. Fortunately, there are some facts that can be gleaned from all the conflicting information we are faced with so often. And that is at this time in our history, only one medication has the FDA approval for female pattern baldness. That medication is minoxidil applied twice a day. A few well known names offer this treatment. I personally recommend Provillus, do your own research before making any decisions.
