Hair Loss in Women
Understanding the Causes
In recent decades, hair loss among women has become increasingly common, with many experiencing thinning hair. Several factors contribute to this issue, with hormonal imbalances often being a primary cause. Additionally, hair loss can occur as a result of surgery or pregnancy.
Certain medications, such as birth control pills, blood thinners, and antifungal treatments, can also lead to hair loss. Women undergoing chemotherapy are frequently affected as well. These are just a few potential causes.
Health Conditions and Hair Loss
Some diseases can trigger hair loss in both men and women. For instance, hair loss can be an early warning sign of diabetes. It’s crucial to undergo specific tests to rule out such conditions as a cause before proceeding with treatment.
Understanding Normal Hair Loss
Experts estimate that at any time, about 7-10% of a woman’s hair is in a resting phase, lasting approximately two to three months. Once this period concludes, the hair falls out, and new growth begins, which can take up to six years to fully grow. It’s normal to lose some hair daily, as roughly 90% of hair is actively growing at any given time.
Hair Care and Its Impact
How you treat your hair can significantly influence hair loss. Frequent tying back of the hair in styles like ponytails or pigtails can lead to a condition called traction alopecia, causing scalp scarring and hindering new hair growth. Additionally, perming or coloring hair can cause irreparable damage, potentially leading to alopecia.
Consulting a Doctor
Seeing a doctor can be beneficial in diagnosing hair loss. A medical professional will conduct an examination and ask pertinent questions to determine the cause. Honest responses are crucial for an accurate diagnosis. If necessary, a biopsy may be performed to rule out cancer.
Treatment Options
Various treatment options are available for managing hair loss. If medication is the cause, changing prescriptions may resolve the issue. Hormonal imbalances or infections might be treated with specific medications.
Over the past decade, treatments like Rogaine have been developed for women’s hair loss and are available over the counter. Additionally, hair transplants are an option, though they are typically expensive and not covered by insurance, as they are considered elective cosmetic procedures.
When Other Solutions Are Needed
If treatments are ineffective, specialty shops offer custom wigs, weaves, and hairpieces, providing women with choices to achieve the appearance of luxurious hair.
