Losing hair is something that is normal to every woman, whether her hair is worn long or short. In fact, experts say that it is not alarming to lose a hundred strands a day. The growth of hair comes in cycles where there are times of growing, aging and shedding. During the shedding phase, it is not unusual to lose many strands of hair in a day. If the follicles stay healthy, then hair will certainly grow back. However, it becomes cause for concern when the rate of loss exceeds the rate of growth. This is when a condition known as alopecia occurs. When this happens it is important to know the cause of female hair loss so proper treatment to stop it can be administered.
For women, the reasons for shedding hair can be varied. The most common is genetic predisposition, which can be inherited from either parent. Other causes are physical and emotional stress, scalp infections, thyroid irregularities, shifts in hormonal levels and medications. The body can be under severe stress during surgeries, serious illness or coping with a tragedy. During these times, the body stops hair production because this is not life-threatening. Focus is given to the repair of the more vital body parts which were also affected by the stress. Thus, hair starts to shed. Oftentimes, it takes three months from the occurrence of a stressful event before the hair starts to fall off and three months to grow back. Of course, this time interval can vary if there are other existing factors which could delay or speed up recovery. Women who are trying to lose weight can also experience hair loss because the lack of nutrients can also put the body under stress. For this reason, it is always advisable to implement a weight loss program only after consulting with a physician.
Once the hair starts to shed, it is important to seek professional help right away. To diagnose the cause properly, tests will be ordered by the medical specialist to assess the blood and hormones in the body. The medical history will also be checked, if the patient has been or currently taking medications or if there is an existing illness. It is also essential to know if other members of the family have also experienced hair loss.
There are several types of treatments to choose from, regardless of the cause of female hair loss. Oral medications commonly known as antiandrogens prevent hair loss internally by targeting the hormones that cause it. This is the best therapy for those who are genetically predisposed to hair loss. There are also topical solutions that are applied to the scalp which stimulate hair growth. Both methods can be combined to make the treatment more effective. In this way, there is simultaneous action of stopping hair loss and promoting hair growth.
