Female Hairloss

Upto 30% of females would expect some degree of hair loss or thinning in their lifetime. Similar to male pattern baldness, the cause is mainly genetic. But other factors also play a role in their hair loss. These may be

• Poor nutrition
• chemotherapy
• anaemia
• thyroid illnesses
• post pregnancy
• hormonal imbalances
• postmenopausal
• surgical or trauma related stresses
• skin conditions
• and certain hairstyles like traction alopecia
• Before any female is treated, non genetic causes of hair loses must be excluded.
