Major causes of women hair loss problem

October 20 2015

The following hair diseases are the most ordinary causes of women’s hair loss problem:

Andogenetic Alopecia

The majority of female with androgenic alopecia diseases has diffuse thinning on all parts of the scalp. The men on the other hand, hardly ever have a diffuse thinning problem, but instead have more different patterns of baldness problem. Some women may have a mixture of two distinct pattern types. Androgenic alopecia disease in women is due to the active action of androgens; basically it is a male hormone that is naturally present in only small amounts in a body. Androgenic alopecia disease can be caused by a range of factors united to the actions of hormones, including pregnancy, ovarian cysts, menopause and the taking of a high dose of androgen hormone birth control pills. However, just like in men the natural hormone DHT appears to be at least somewhat to blame for the miniaturization of natural hair follicles in most of the women, who are suffering from the female type of pattern baldness. Inheritance plays a main factor in this hair loss disease.

Telogen Effluvium

When your whole body goes through something very traumatic and painful process like childbirth, a severe infection, malnutrition, or extreme stress, major surgery, at least 90 percent or more hair of the women in the anagen phase (growing) or catagen phase (resting) can shift immediately into the severe shedding (telogen) phase. About 7 weeks to three months after the traumatic and stressful incident, the severe hair loss usually starts when the telogen effluvium begins. It is likely to lose a handful of hair at one time when the telogen effluvium disease is on its peak level.

Anagen Effluvium

Anagen effluvium disease occurs after any affront to the natural hair follicle that damages its mitotic cycle or metabolic activity. Anyhow, this hair loss is commonly linked with the chemotherapy process. Since harsh chemotherapy directly targets your body’s quickly dividing cancer cells, but your body’s other quickly dividing natural cells such as hair follicles, which are in the growing phase, are also significantly affected. Afterward chemotherapy starts, approximately 90 percent of the natural hair can possibly fall out.

Traction alopecia

This unpleasant condition is caused by restricted trauma to the natural hair follicles from tight and fixed hairstyles that forcefully pull all the hair over time. If this disease is detected in the early stage, the natural hair will regrow. Tight ponytails, braiding, cornrows, and fake extensions are the most ordinary styling causes.
