Shedding Light On Female Hair Loss

by Andrea Morris

Surprisingly, both men and women contend with hair loss. Actually, hair loss among women is more common than most people think, but it is mentioned less often because there are stigmas associated with women losing hair. Hair loss occurs in women for a variety of reasons, such as hormonal fluctuations, increased stress or as a side effect of certain medications.

A woman's hormone level controls many aspects of what happens in a woman's body: her insulin level, her body temperature, and her monthly cycle. One negative result of these out-of-control hormones is hair thinning or hair loss. Caused by an imbalance in estrogen and testosterone that occurs during menopause, pregnancy, post pregnancy or even puberty, many women may find they lose more hair when they see it collect in the shower drain. A way to reduce her hair loss is for women to visit their doctors; he or she may offer a prescription for hormone replacement therapy to help these menopausal women see a difference in their hair thinning or hair loss.

Women who are pregnant cannot for obvious reasons receive hormones or other medications designed to treat hormonal imbalances. They can, however, take comfort in the realization that within several months after delivery, their hormones will begin to regulate automatically. Then, hair growth will return to the same status as before the pregnancy occurred. Adolescents who experience significant hair changes as a result of puberty often experience relief with contraceptives containing low doses of hormones. Such options, however, should be explored fully with a physician to determine whether hormonal contraception is a good option for the female considering it.

In women, a major reason for losing hair is stress. You should look for a means of lessening the tension you are experiencing if you think your hair is falling out because of it. Talking to a friend about your problems can be helpful. And women often discover that exercising is a terrific means of letting go rather than allowing their daily tensions to build up. Perhaps the right answer may even lie in a life change like finding a different place to live or another line of work that's not so stressful.

If you find yourself losing hair after beginning a new medication, schedule a visit with your doctor at once. It is quite likely that another medication can be used to treat your condition. Although hair loss is not a common side effect of medications, some drugs do have the potential to cause this to occur.
