“Oh no!” thought Dorothy when one day while nursing her baby, she found that she had left behind a whole lot of hair on her pillow. She was shocked. She immediately called up her doctor to find out the reasons for such hair loss.
Female pattern hair loss or alopecia is not uncommon. Baldness or hair shedding can be genetic, as it is in men. However, there are other causes for female hair loss. One of the most common causes is childbirth – post-partum hair loss. During pregnancy the woman’s hair is in the resting phase. However, after delivery, women witness hair loss at a rapid stage though this is normally temporary. Women who take birth control pills can also have more of a tendency towards thinning hair.
Temporary hair shedding is seen in people taking medicines for gout, acne, thyroid and arthritis. Cancer treatment drugs can stop hair cell division. Hair becomes thin and eventually breaks off from the scalp. It is a temporary phase and hair regroups after the treatment is stopped usually.
Female hair loss can be a result of eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. You need to have a proper nutritious diet and drink plenty of water to retain healthy hair.
Over excessive styling can also damage your hair – colourants, straightening and other forms of styling can damage the hair remember.
Don’t panic, if your doctor suggests some clinical tests to check hormonal levels and blood count. This will help him to do a correct diagnosis for hair loss.
Now, you need to analyse the different types of hair loss. As Combat-Hair-Loss.co.uk states the two main types of female hair loss are Anagen effluvium and Telogen effluvium. Anagen effluvium is due to internally administered medications, such as chemotherapy agents, that poison the growing hair follicle.
Telogen effluvium is a result of mental and physical stress, anaemia, weight change, hormonal imbalance and thyroid abnormalities usually.
Hair loss treatments include DHT (dihytestosterone) inhibitors, which reduce the production of DHT. This type of treatment addresses the root of female hair loss.
Super Oxide Dismutase and anti-inflammatory’s treatment addresses the problem of inflammation of the scalp while growth stimulators look to promote growth but do not actually address the cause of hair loss. Another kind of treatment that you can go in for is anti-androgens that help in hair loss prevention.
Some highly recommended hair loss products by Combat Hair Loss are Thymuskin, Tricomin, and HairMax Laser comb.
