To make one thing clear from the beginning. If you are a
woman and you lose your hair, know you're not the only one who are struggling
with this.
Even women can lose their hair. But this topic is not as
popular for men. Any woman who faces this problem would have to submit to her
doctor.
Let's look at some of the most common reasons for hair loss
in women:
Low levels of iron
Iron deficiency, regardless of whether it is or not anemia,
can cause hair loss.But you shouldn’t start using iron tablets if you don’t
consult with a doctor. Even excess iron can cause health problems.
Low levels of estrogen
Many women lose their hair during and after menopause, when
estrogen levels begin to fall. And other hormonal changes - for example, changes
in oral contraceptives can also cause hair loss.
Hormonal changes after pregnancy
New mothers may lose a significant amount of hair in the
first six months after birth, or until the estrogen levels return to normal.
Telogen effluvium
This term means a temporary loss of hair, which is due to
stress or any recent surgery, which usually takes place two months after the
situation that caused it.
Medication
Many medications can cause hair loss. If you have doubt on
this, talk to your doctor about changing medications.
High levels of vitamin A and selenium
Careful with food supplements. Do not take them away, but
only in consultation with a physician.
Smoking
Several studies conducted in men have shown that smoking
also increases hair loss.
What to do?
The best plan is to discover the real cause of hair loss and
eliminate it. The best is to start with a blood test which will show the level
of thyroid hormones, estrogen and iron.
In some cases, usually after menopause, the cause of hair
loss is androgenetic alopecia. The cause of hormonal changes in the body, ie.
hormone imbalance between masculine and feminine.
