Major Causes Of Hair Loss In Women

Going bald is not just a problem men face. Many women have to worry about going bald, as well. In fact, about 30 million American gals have to cope with hair loss in women. Although women are encouraged to be hairless on all other parts of their bodies, a bald head is not encouraged by society. With any sudden hair loss, you need to see your doctor.

Birth Control Pills

It is normal to experience some hair loss in women when they are taking birth control pills. Hormones that regulate the female reproductive cycle also seem to play a role in hair growth and regrowth. The American Hair Loss Association recommends women should take low-androgen index contraceptive pills. Of course, if you get pregnant when you can't afford to, that will pull out the rest of your hair.

Don't shy away from contraceptive pills because of their reputation of causing some hair loss in women. Like any form of contraception, you really need to talk it over with your doctor or gynecologist. Nothing you say will shock them. They've heard it all. Some women get great medical benefits in the form of cancer prevention from contraceptive pills.

Traction Alopecia

This is a fancy medical term for "overworked hair." Normally, a hair follicle needs a certain amount of freedom from hair styling products, blow drying or hair coloring in order to get some needed rest and relaxation. A major cause of hair loss in women is, sadly, completely preventable. All you need to do is only style or color your hair when absolutely necessary, not every day.

Androgenic Alopecia

This time, the medical term means "hair loss in women or men because it runs in their families". There is a baldness gene passed down in families that gives male-pattern baldness to both women and men. It is most commonly thought that the family member to blame for giving you this gene is your maternal grandfather.

The good news about this cause of hair loss in women is that it does not mean you have a sign of any major illness that would cause you to go bald. The bad news is that once you go bald, don't expect your hair to grow back. You now face the same problems your male counterparts do.

However, just like in male baldness, there are many kinds of treatments for hair loss in women. These range from implants, changes in diet to wearing wigs.
