Female Hair Loss
What Causes Female Hair Loss? by Raj Pandey
While there are many culprits to blame balding on,there are
several key factors to examine when determining the reason for a
woman's loss of hair. Stress, pregnancy, medications, hormonal
problems, and thyroid disease are some of the most common causes
of female hair
loss. Have you been under a lot of stress lately? Are you
pregnant or taking medications? Is your hair loss minimal or
excessive? In order to find a solution to your hair loss
problem, you have to ask yourself these questions. Your family
physician may be able to target the cause and find an easy
solution for you.
Illness
Your body has a way of telling you when something is wrong. This
is not to say that all hair-loss experiences determine that
you're ill. You may be perfectly healthy. Nevertheless,
hair-loss and balding can and should be taken as a serious
warning. You should consult your family physician and go for any
necessary tests and/or procedures that he/she may recommend.
Did you know that hormonal imbalances can be the cause of your
hair loss? This is very correctible with medications and/or
estrogen shots. Your hair-loss is very likely to stop once the
problem is treated. Women's thyroid glands, that are overactive
or underactive, commonly 'warn' the body of possible thyroid
disease. The body will shed hair as a result of this 'warning.'
Since hair loss has been noted as a an early sign of many
diseases, it's important to find the cause so doctors can find a
solution.
Pregnancy
Many women experience hair loss approximately two or three
3
months after they've delivered their babies. This loss form of
hair-loss is directly related to hormones. During a woman's
pregnancy, high levels of specific hormones can cause the female
body to retain hair that (under normal circumstances) would
normally fall out. When a pregnant woman's hormones return to
pre-pregnancy hormone levels, that retained hair falls out.
Although it may seem odd, it's usually nothing to worry about,
as the hair will grow back in a short period of time.
Young Women
The most common cause of hair-loss in teenage women is stress.
Nevertheless, stress is not the only cause. Hair loss in young
women can also be a warning sign of the following: Infection,
poor hygiene habits, excessive dye in hair, medication intake,
lupus, and or diabetes.
Improper Care of Hair
Tight pony-tails, pigtails, braids, cornrows, and curlers can
cause a type of her loss known as Alopecia. If scarring occurs
on the delicate skin on your scalp, your hair may never grow
back. Scarring, unfortunately, results in permanent hair loss.
How does this 'scarring' occur, you may ask. Hot oil treatment,
chemicals for perms, bleach, and metallic dyes may cause
inflammation to the hair follicles on your scalp. These
inflammations, which first appear as swelling, often turn into
scars. The final result can be hair-loss.
