Common causes of hair loss in women
Hair loss can have different causes both in men and in women. The underlying cause of hair loss can influence not only how fast the hair falls (and the quantity of lost hair), but also if the hair will be able to regenerate on its own or if the patient will need specialized treatment, and perhaps female hair transplant in Turkey, to ensure hair restoration.
Some of the most common reasons for female hair loss, as reported by our hair transplant specialists in Istanbul who have treated female patients, include the following:
- Female pattern baldness: also called androgenetic alopecia, this condition is hereditary and is one of the most common reasons for hair loss in women; it mainly affects women over the age of 50;
- Anemia: this condition occurs when the red blood cell count is lower than normal; iron deficiency anemia is most commonly met in women and it can cause hair loss;
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): a common condition in which the ovaries have abnormal functioning; the symptoms can include hair loss;
- Thyroid conditions: severe hypo- and hyperthyroidism can cause hair loss (in a diffuse pattern, rather than causing localized hair loss in limited areas);
- Skin conditions: these include diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, or fungus;
- Lupus: an immune system disease that can cause scarring and non-scarring hair loss;
- Alopecia areata: a disease in which the immune system affects the hair follicles, causing hair loss;
- Excessive hairstyling: certain hairstyles, such as high and tight ponytails, or frequent and aggressive hair dying can cause hair loss;
- Childbirth: post-partum hormonal imbalances can cause hair loss, even though some women can report having fuller and healthier hair while being pregnant; for women who are no longer of childbearing potential, menopause can also cause hair loss issues.
Women who have had chemotherapy will also experience hair loss. For those who have battled cancer, restorative hair procedures can be an important step toward their full recovery.
