Woman’s Hair Loss
In society today, image is everything. Therefore any hair loss in a woman is frowned upon even though you’ve never done anything to cause this womens health condition.
Hair loss can be seen to some women as losing their femininity.
Sudden hair loss in a woman does not usually mean that anything dangerous is happening but it can lead to marital break ups, career & job problems, social isolation and worse. Total baldness in a woman, while rare, is completely heartbreaking and devastating.
Hair loss in a woman leads to depression symptoms, anxiety and even worse.
Hair loss in a man is much more common and almost expected but in women it’s not an accepted part of society. Hair loss in a woman, especially the amount of the hair loss in a woman and pattern of the hair loss in woman, differs tremendously from men as well.
A woman will lose less total hair and unlike men who end up with a receding hair line or bald patches, a womans hair will thin out behind the original hair line and usually will thin out all over your head fairly evenly.
Normal hair loss is approximately 100-125 hairs per day. These hairs are then replaced. True hair loss occurs when lost hairs are not re-grown or when the daily hair loss is in excess of 125 hairs.
Hair loss in a woman is closely related to hormones. This can be the result thyroid abnormalities, or the effects of menopause or pregnancy.
Some of the more common causes of hair loss in a woman include: starting or stopping the birth control pill; postpartum depression; pre and early post menopausal periods.
Other causes can include:
* Physical stress: surgery, illness, anemia, rapid weight change;
* Emotional stress;
* Certain prescription medications;
* A poor diet & nutrient deficiencies;
* Illness;
* Ringworm;
* Certain skin diseases;
* Styling treatments;
* Immune disorders.
