For 1 in 4 women today there are a number of different reasons as to why they suddenly start to lose their hair. In fact, because more and more women are seeking ways of treating this problem, we are learning more about it daily. Below we will look at two of the main hair loss women causes.
1. Androgenetic Alopecia known as female pattern baldness, in men it is known as male pattern baldness. You will find that with men, they lose their hair completely and for women with this condition it will result in the hair covering their scalp becoming thinner.
With this particular form of hair loss the main factors which result in this condition occurring is that their hormones are not working correctly. Just as with men when high levels of the hormone DHT appear in their body this can partially be the cause of the woman’s hair loss.
The other reason why a woman may suffer from female pattern baldness involves their genetic makeup. Although some people believe that only the woman’s father needs to have this gene in order to suffer from this form of hair loss, in fact it needs to be both parents that have passed the gene on.
2. Telogen Effluvium is caused when a woman goes through some traumatic event in her life. In many cases, women who have a traumatic childbirth, have been malnourished, undergo any form of major surgery, suffer severe stress, or an infection can see that they start to lose their hair.
With this particular hair loss problem a person will not see anything until about 6 weeks or 3 months after the traumatic event has happened. In some cases where the condition is severe, it can result in the woman losing large amounts of hair at any one time. But it can be treated and in many cases, the problem will go into remission and as long as they are able to avoid situations that may cause it to happen again, they should have no problems in the future.
However, for some women the condition of Telogen Effluvium can be so severe that it becomes a chronic disorder and will persist for months or years. Unfortunately, for these women actually finding and understanding what is causing the problem to occur is the most difficult thing that they will face.
Above we looked at the two most common kinds of hair loss in women. Cause of the conditions of hair loss mentioned is varied and yours may be different from the ones mentioned above.
