Identify the Causes of Female Hair Loss and Treat It Properly

Hello

This is Dana Plastic Surgery!

Today, we will take some time to look into the causes of female hair loss that trouble many women.

Female Hair Loss

Many women suffer from female hair loss, but there are not many who know exactly what causes it.

Many people worry on their own and feel stressed, and by the time the hair loss has worsened and progressed significantly, they come to Dana Plastic Surgery.

What Is the Difference Between Female Hair Loss and Male Hair Loss?

First, let’s look at the difference between female hair loss and male hair loss!

In men, male pattern hair loss appears as an M-shaped hairline or an O-shaped pattern of hair loss.

In women, the hair first appears thinner so that the scalp shows through at the normal parting,

and when it progresses into female pattern hair loss, a gap begins to form from the center.

As female hair loss progresses further, the gap in the parting becomes wider,

and the hair on both sides also becomes weaker.

And when viewed up close, it appears as a pattern in which the scalp shows through.

Characteristics and Pattern of Female Hair Loss

Female hair loss is usually described as a Christmas tree pattern because the hair-loss pattern resembles a Christmas tree.

One difference between female hair loss and male hair loss is that

in female hair loss, the hair does not disappear completely like it does in male hair loss.

Causes of Female Hair Loss

The first cause of female hair loss is family history!

If there is hair loss in the family, the likelihood of developing hair loss increases with age.

The second cause of female hair loss is hormonal imbalance!

In particular, after menopause, the proportion of male hormones increases in women,

and many cases can progress into hair loss.

The third cause of female hair loss is stress! Stress includes both mental stress and physical stress.

In the case of physical stress,

having undergone major surgery, having an inflammatory disease, or having a high fever

can all fall under physical stress.

About three months after such stress, when hair that was in the resting phase

returns to the growth phase, a very large amount of hair falls out.

That is why stress becomes a cause of telogen effluvium.

The fourth cause of female hair loss is pregnancy and childbirth!

During pregnancy, as it goes through the first trimester → second trimester → third trimester,

the estrogen level in the body gradually and continuously increases.

Later, it rises to about 8 to 9 times the blood level before pregnancy. So at this time, hair does not fall out and instead becomes thicker.

After childbirth, within a week the estrogen level drops sharply,

and as the estrogen level normalizes, a large number of hairs enter the resting phase.

Three months after giving birth, a very large amount of hair falls out,

and many people call this postpartum hair loss.

Postpartum Hair Loss?

Postpartum hair loss is a reversible type of hair loss,

in which hair that did not originally fall out begins to shed, and most people recover through various forms of care.

The fifth cause of female hair loss is other diseases!

In the case of gynecological conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome,

a major characteristic is that menstruation is irregular,

which leads many people to visit an obstetrics and gynecology clinic.

This syndrome itself can cause hormonal imbalance,

which can also lead to various endocrine disorders and various uterine disorders.

And although many people do not know this, it can cause hair loss!

In such cases, if hormone regulation and anti-androgen therapy are performed,

hair loss may improve again.

Another other disease is thyroid disease!

If there is a problem with thyroid function, it can cause hair loss,

so it is a good idea to check thyroid function regularly.

The sixth cause of female hair loss is vitamin B12!

Vitamin B12 can be considered one of the vitamins that can cause female hair loss.

Vitamin B12 is a vitamin needed to synthesize red blood cells,

and if this vitamin is deficient, it can lead to anemia.

In the case of vitamin B12 deficiency, it can cause anemia,

which can be a cause of hair loss!

Vitamin B12 is found in large amounts in meat and eggs,

so people with healthy eating habits do not easily develop a deficiency, but

if you follow a vegetarian-focused diet,

it is a good idea to check whether you are lacking vitamin B12!

The causes of female hair loss are very diverse!

Make sure to check all of the female hair loss causes you may not have known about,

and if you suspect female hair loss, visit a hair-specialized clinic to get an accurate diagnosis of whether you have hair loss,
