Hair Loss Is An Emotional Experience For Women
Women absolutely love their hair, and to think about losing it scares them to death. They don’t want to lose even one hair. Hair loss in women is becoming a more serious problem than ever before. It is even affecting teenage girls at an alarming rate. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, nearly 30 million women in the just the US have a serious hair loss problem. That adds up to just about 40% of all the people who have lost or are losing their hair.
All women experience natural hair loss. It is normal for people, in general, to lose around 100 hairs a day. This is the hair’s way of renewing itself. The hairs that are lost are rapidly replaced by new hairs.
Are you aware that in normal hair growth, the hair grows one-half inch every month? Each hair grows anywhere from two to six years. When they stop growing, they go through a rest period and then fall out. A new hair quickly begins to grow in the empty follicle and replaces the one that was lost. This cycle doesn’t even stop in 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.
If a woman has an undiagnosed medical problem, it can cause her hair to fall out. There is a different kind of hair loss problem that occurs when a woman has an autoimmune problem. The inflammation that results causes the hair to fall out in bunches, and there are bald spots in different places on her head.
Many things such as surgery, childbirth, crash dieting or some terrible emotional event can interrupt the hair’s growth cycle and make it begin to shed. Oftentimes, the brush will be loaded with hair after a woman finishes brushing it. Chronic illnesses like anemia or thyroid disorders and even some types of medication can, also, cause the hair to fall out. This is the reason it is important for a doctor to find the root problem that is causing a woman’s hair to fall out.
To be able to treat a hair loss problem effectively, a doctor must find out if there is an underlying medical problem that is causing the loss. Most specialists that deal with hair loss problems in women will order blood tests and, in some cases, a scalp biopsy. It is much simpler to treat the problem after medical problems are discarded.
Even though it is a difficult decision, many women choose to just accept their hair loss and not to think about it. This is hard for them to do because their hair plays such an important role in their lives. Others choose to use hair thickeners, natural remedies or a wig. They can talk with their doctor about the different medical therapies that are available. If all else fails, and it is sufficiently important to her, she can opt to have hair-replacement surgery.
Since hair is a well-known symbol of womanhood, and it is a woman’s crowning glory, even the thought of losing it is very difficult to accept. If you are losing hair, talk with your doctor and ask him to find the root cause, before you decide on a treatment.
