Female Hair Loss
FEMALE HAIR LOSS
Female hair loss is caused by different conditions. In other circumstances, females endure hair loss because of hormonal disorders, inconsistent and fad diets, stress, while others have to do with illnesses.
Hormonal disorders or changes are the most common cause why women endure hair loss (alopecia), this is when they experience an alteration in their estrogen levels. The changes may vary to one person to another. Estrogen level changes can involve pregnancy, inconsistent consumption of birth control pills, and taking or stopping hormone replacement therapies. Estrogen and DHT will most likely be affected because of these changes, which affect the hair growth process. Most women lose their hair after childbirth, between three (3) to six (6) months. Physicians always explain to pregnant women that condition such hair loss after pregnancy is normal and it is not something to be threatened about.
In the normal process of pregnancy, women tend to have a high level of progesterone and a decreased level of estrogen, so, in effect of this change, their hair is moved to the resting phase and when the child is already born, the new hair starts to grow which causes the resting hair shafts to shed. This type of hair loss condition in women is considered temporary although there is no true remedy for this certain hair loss.
Apparently, illnesses and health conditions are factors that can cause hair loss. Lupos, diabetes, hypothyroidism, liver diseases, eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia can all cause hair loss to women. One condition that causes hair loss is high fever, this alters the hair growth cycle because the body temperature rises extensively. This condition is also known as the Telogen Effluvium. A person having this type of condition can re-grow the hair once the illness or condition is regulated and controlled. Poor nutrition can affect women to lose hair as well, having inadequate consumption of protein and other essential nutrients in your daily diet can cause women to experience hair loss and hair thinning, and an excessive intake of vitamin A can cause hair loss too.
High elevated emotional and physical stress can trigger hair loss. Medical practitioners proved that the hair can be affected by these stresses for it is the first part of the female’s body to react from both emotional and physical stresses thus, causing the female hair to shed. This type of hair loss typically remedies itself and hair begins to grow when the problematic root is healed.
Now, it is very important to determine what kind of hair loss (alopecia) a woman is suffering. If it is due to natural and temporary shedding, the best way to heal and grow the hair back is to stay calm and just wait for the right time to let the hair re-grow on its own. To have the best idea and appropriate information, visit your physician and get a consultation.
