Why do women experience hairloss?
At the best of times loosing your hair as a man can be a stressfull experience, but when it happens to a woman, the consequences are far harder to deal with. Baldness and hairloss over the course of a lifetime is not unusual for men, and can even be expected. The experience of baldness or thinning hair is a different one for women, and attracts the wrong type of interest. This attention will often bring with it social issues, making an uncomfortable situation for the woman.
The appearance of Hairloss can be an uncontrollable event striking at any time in a person’s life. You are not going to be happy with the situation if you are male, as mentioned earlier, but you will probably accept it. It is particularly true if baldness if obviously genetic within the family history. but hairloss in a woman can be a devastating experience, and mark a complete change in her lifestyle. I have listed below some reasons why hairloss can strike a woman:
1. Stress
This is much more common than most people would think, and can trigger a thinning of the hair and in some cases a total loss of hair known as Alopecia Totalis. Obviously this can also apply to male hairloss, as everyone suffers from stress at some point in their lives. Cases of stress-related hairloss can be successfully treated – look at what is causing the problem and tackle it at the root (Pun intended).
2. Hormonal Imbalance
Some women suffer from hormonal imbalances, including male pattern baldness which is the presence of too much male hormone in the body. A deficiency in female hormones resulting in baldness is also a condition that can affect many women. The condition is also sometimes referred to as female pattern baldness.
What are the causes of these hormonal imbalances causing hairloss in women’s lives? The main problem areas are orally taken contraceptives such as the Pill, the menopause and the post-natal stage of pregnancy.
3. Pregnancy
It is not unnatural having given birth, to experience some degree of female hairloss. The cause of this is due to the abnormal levels of estrogen that develops during the pregnancy time. It is the process of readjustment to the correct pre-pregnancy levels of estrogen that causes the hair to fall out, which is a temporary condition.
