What Are The Causes of Hair Loss in Women and How to Fix it?

Hair loss in women is a problem at least as serious as it is in men, contrary to popular belief. Certain bald spots of women’s hair may enlarge over time due to thinning hair, and more than 150 strands of hair may fall daily.

• Androgenetic Alopecia: This is the most common type of hair loss, which is also known as male or female pattern baldness. It’s caused by genetic factors and results in the gradual thinning of hair from the top and front of your scalp.
• Alopecia Areata: It’s an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss in patches on the scalp and other parts of your body. It can occur at any age and affects both men and women.
• Telogen Effluvium: A temporary hair loss that occurs when there is a disturbance in your normal hair growth cycle. It can be caused by hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or medications.
• Traction Alopecia: This type of hair loss is caused by repeated pulling or tension on your hair, often from tight hairstyles like braids or ponytails.
• Anagen Effluvium: It’s usually caused by chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer. It results in the loss of hair during your growth phase.

 

Which Women Experience Hair Shedding?

Shedding, which is seen in approximately 50% of the female population worldwide, is also a problem that women of all age groups may encounter. Still, the most common causes of hair loss are:

What are the Treatments for Hair Loss in Women?

The treatment for hair loss in women depends on the underlying cause of the condition. Medications such as minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia) are often used to treat androgenetic alopecia. These drugs can slow down or stop your hair loss and may even help regrow your hair.

Hormone therapy can be used to treat hair loss which is caused by hormonal imbalances. This treatment involves taking medications to balance the levels of hormones in your body.

Nutritional deficiencies, such as iron or biotin deficiency, can contribute to hair loss. Taking supplements or modifying your diet to include more of these nutrients may help improve your hair growth.

Especially in cases of severe hair loss, hair transplant surgery may be an option. This involves taking hair from one part of your scalp and transplanting it to the balding areas. Thousands of people prefer advanced transplantation techniques, which have become very common today, against the problem of hair loss. In a short time like a year, your hair can be just as you imagined. In addition, these methods are quite safe and painless.
