Women's Hair Loss

Common Questions

• Common Causes of Hair Loss in Women

  Hair loss in women can stem from various underlying causes, but the majority of cases are due to two primary conditions: Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) and Telogen Effluvium (TE). These conditions can sometimes overlap, contributing to noticeable hair loss.

  1. Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL):

  • Description: FPHL is a chronic, progressive condition that can begin at any age. It typically presents as thinning hair at the top and front of the scalp.
  • Causes: The exact cause is not fully understood but is believed to involve genetic predisposition and hormonal factors.
  • Treatment: Early intervention can improve the likelihood of slowing progression and promoting regrowth.

  2. Telogen Effluvium (TE):

  • Description: TE is characterized by increased hair shedding due to the early release of hairs in the resting phase of the hair growth cycle.
  • Triggers: Common triggers include childbirth (affecting 30-50% of postpartum women), major life stressors, hospitalization, illness (e.g., COVID-19), surgery, and certain medications.
  • Chronic TE: This form typically affects women aged 30-60 and lacks an identifiable trigger. Shedding can fluctuate over months or years without a noticeable change in hair density, though affected individuals may notice decreased volume.

  Understanding these conditions and their triggers can help in seeking appropriate treatment and managing hair loss effectively.
