Womens Hair Loss

What type of hair loss do I have?

With womens hair loss it is impossible to diagnose what it is yourself.

There are so many different types of hair loss that it may not be genetic thinning.

This is dedicated to Female Androgenetic Alopecia(genetic thining). In this web site I am providing a way for you to get help and support.

This is more of a taboo subject than it seems to be with men. Why I do not know. What I do know is the reasons for many of the female hair loss problems. These reasons are just as numerous as the many conditions under the hair loss topic.

Androgenetic alopecia does not only occur in women of menopause status, it is occuring in younger females as well due to the ppopular use of contraceptives.

I want to help you relax a little, if you do have female androgenetic alopecia you will not go literally bald. The preffered term for this is "thinning" and not "baldness". Women cannot go bald with genetic thinning because of our hormones.

Now you are feeling a bit more relaxed lets continue.

There are lots of other conditions that a women may have which may include diffuse hair loss, alopecia areata etc. These are seperate problems to this. A person may also have more than one problem at a time, for example, Diffuse hair loss and female pattern baldness.

They are all seperate problems and the causes of them are also different. Confused, no wonder because I would be too. Just read on...

The cause of female hair loss and the treatment is easier than the male version.This is because the genetics for it are connected with the male hormones. The problem is that there are so many options out there and how do you know that you have chosen right.

Because womens hair loss can be so complicated in the treatment and there is the possibilty of underlying problems with it you really need to get a professional diagnosis.
A trichologist has been trained to recongnise all forms of treatment both medical and non-medical and a suitable one can be chosen.
