Hair Loss In Women

Female pattern baldness or androgen tic alopecia female responds to a typical pattern. Hair growsgenerally 1, 25 cm months for two to six years and then come into rest period before falling. Shortly after the loss of the old hair, another will place in empty space. On a normal head, 85% of hair grows while 15% are resting. Baldness occurs when the hair falls out is not replaced by a new one. There are several possible causes for this women hair loss, but just a key hormone. Hormones are responsible the same as those that cause alopecia male. The male sex hormones, androgens are also present in women, but even fewer, they can still damage the follicles. This usually occurs with menopause, when the hormones are in motion. At that time, the hair tends to be sparse, while facial hair become thicker. The new hair does not grow, but the follicles remain alive, leaving a possibility for a new growth.

Other causes from genetic predisposition and age.

Female pattern baldness is different from male pattern baldness since the loss covers the entire surface of the head, without touching the line front. Total baldness is rarely an area, as often happens in men. There are other specific reasons baldness in women, such as: temporary loss of hair (telogen effluvium), breaking of hair (due to certain treatments capillaries that twist or pull the hair), localized losses (alopecia areata), medications and certain skin diseases.

The symptoms of female pattern baldness are an explanation of the whole head with a moderate loss at the crown. The diagnosis is based on a comparison of appearance and a skin biopsy must be done to determine the presence of a skin problem. Efforts are also traces of arsenic or poison remaining in the follicles, and treated with appropriate drugs.

Hair loss associated with female pattern baldness is permanent. In some countries, a product containing 2% Minoxidil is sold to help regrow hair. Regrowth were noted in 20 to 25% of the female population. And in most cases, it can slow or stop hair loss. This treatment is expensive and the loss will resume when Minoxidil stopped.

Hair implants are a form of treatment is to remove hair from any part of the head to implant the where they lack. This treatment can cause tiny scars where the hair is removed and can cause infections of the skin, but the risk is small. To obtain satisfactory results, the patient should return for a few sessions to add some implants. However, the results are excellent and permanent.

Sewing hair on the scalp, as practiced in some parts of the world, is not recommended. It can result in scars, infections and abscesses in the scalp. The rooms are rather artificial and mobile recommended. The extensions, The wigs and changes in hair treatment methods are the safest and least expensive. As they say, there is no perfect way to regrow hair, and then the treatments are mainly used to cure Psychological stress and loss of self-esteem.

There is no known method to prevent baldness male or female. But there are ways to feel good and remain impervious to major life changes. Get a good wig if the loss really handicaps you. Join a sports club, learn a new hobby, and especially feel good about yourself. Although the top of your head is becoming lighter.
