Hair Loss Is A Difficult Thing For Women To Face
For most women their hair is a defining style, and it sends them in to fits of panic when they think their hair may be falling out. They have reason to be concerned because hair loss in women is becoming more common than ever before. The American Academy of Dermatology tells us that approximately 30 million women or approximately 40% of the hair loss group, in the United States alone, have a serious problem with hair loss.
Natural hair loss is a natural occurrence in every woman. Each person loses somewhere close to 100 hairs every day. Since this type of hair loss is normal, the hairs are rapidly replaced, and there is no baldness.
When everything is normal, the hair grows approximately one-half inch in a month. Each hair is on a cycle of growth that lasts for two to six years. When it ends its cycle, the hair rests for a time and then falls out. Then a new hair will grow in the follicle in order to replace the old one. This cycle continues throughout the retiring years.
For some people, the androgen hormone interferes with the hair loss and re-growth cycle. Androgen is the root cause of the follicle starting to shrink which, in turn, changes the hair cycle. This causes the follicles to dry up or die, making them unable to grow healthy, new hairs. The result is hair loss. Unlike in men, hair loss can occur in women at any age. Doctors have, of yet, not been able to figure this out.
There are several underlying medical problems that can cause women to lose their hair. An autoimmune disorder can produce a different type of hair loss problem. It causes an inflammation which results in the hair falling out in clumps and leaving bald spots.
Any type of traumatic emotional event, such as a crash diet, surgery or childbirth, can alter the normal hair cycle and cause the hair to shed. When this happens a woman can just run her hand through her hair and a handful will come out. Certain health problems or the medication a doctor prescribes can, also, cause hair to fall out. This is the reason it is necessary for a doctor to find the root problem of the hair loss in order to make a proper diagnosis.
When a woman goes to a doctor about her hair loss, the first thing the doctor should do is look for any underlying medical problem. Doctors who are specialists in this area will take blood tests and even a scalp biopsy if he thinks it is necessary. When all possibility of a medical problem is discarded, the doctor can recommend a simple hair loss treatment.
Women have several options they can choose. Incredibly, the option that is the most difficult for women is just to accept the hair loss as being normal and not worry about it. The fact that a woman's hair is so important to her makes this extremely hard to do. She, also, has the option of using a hair thickener or a wig. There are different medical therapies that can be tried, and if nothing else works she can choose hair-replacement surgery.
A woman's hair is her shining glory and is a symbol of her womanhood. For a woman, the thought of losing her hair is difficult to accept. Always consult your doctor, and try to find the root cause of your hair loss before attempting any other remedy.
