Hair Loss in Women

kadinlarda sac dokulmesi

Although it varies periodically with factors such as age and season in women, daily hair loss of around 50-100 hair strands is normal and gives information about the health of the person. Because this hair loss is replaced by thicker and healthier hair over time. Considering that there are approximately 100 thousand hairs on the scalp, the shedding rate is quite reasonable. Hair grows 6 inches per year in most people. However, sometimes this situation does not progress normally. The fact that the hair is shedding up to 70-100 strands and this has been going on for a long time indicates a pathological problem. Women resort to natural methods, various care serums, medication supplements, etc. for this problem. But these methods do not bring back the hair that has fallen out. It only protects the existing hair. For hair loss, they resort to operations such as hair transplantation and stem cells.

Female Pattern Hair Loss

There are three types of hair loss;
Anagen effluvium: It is usually seen after conditions that damage hair follicles such as chemotherapy.

Telogen effluvium: It is a type of hair loss that occurs with the loss of hair at the telogen level and increase in hair at the catagen level due to abnormal hair cycle.

Androgenetic alopecia: It is the most common type of hair loss in women. It is similar to male pattern hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia begins at a later age in women than in men. The reason for the occurrence of androgenetic alopecia is due to the male hormone called androgen, which is found in small amounts in the female body. While hair loss in a large proportion of men is due to genetic reasons, this rate is 20% in women. Family history may underlie the cause of hair loss.

Hair Loss Types in Women;

  • In women, hair strands become thinner, but it is unlikely to be completely bald.
  • Thinning around the head is seen with thinning hair strands.
  • Skin opening occurs at the top and top of the scalp.
  • Expansion occurs around the hair. The front hairline remains in place.

Other Causes of Female Pattern Hair Loss;

Genetic Factors

Hair loss can be caused by genes passed down from parents. This condition can be passed on from parents or other close relatives.

Age

Hair loss in women is generally seen in the 40s and 50s. However, psychological reasons such as stress trauma at an earlier age, traumatic styling styles (tight braid, tight bun from the top), wrong and poor quality products used in hair (hair conditioner, chemical dyes) can cause hair loss.

Mineral and Vitamin Deficiency

Sometimes, even though people have a regular and adequate diet, they do not contain the necessary vitamins and minerals in their bodies. This causes hair loss. At this point, it is necessary to take supplements. Vitamin B12, D, folic acid, Omega 3, Omega 6 deficiency causes hair loss

Hormone Problems

One of the other causes of hair loss in women is hormone problems. Birth control pills, hormone medications used for various diseases cause hair loss.

Postpartum Period / Puerperium Period

During pregnancy, women’s hair does not fall out too much. The reason for this; The increase in the amount of estrogen hormone prolongs the growth cycle of the hair. After birth, this growth passes into the resting phase. In this process, hair loss is seen intensively. After this shedding period lasting 1-6 months, the hair grows again and returns to its former volume.

Stress and Irregular Nutrition / Shock diets

Another cause of hair loss is improper and inadequate diet. Fast food, fatty foods with carbohydrates, protein and fat ratio are not provided, which damages both body health and causes hair loss. Hair follicles are living cells and when they do not receive the vitamins they need, they dry and wear out. Diets with low protein or calories restricted below a certain rate, fast weight loss diets called shock diets also cause hair loss. In addition, a stressful life in general also leads to serious hair loss.

Menopause Period

During menopause, the levels of oestrogen and progesterone fall in women, which means that the effect of the male hormones androgens increases. As a result, one of two things happens. Either hair that was not there before grows or hair loss occurs. During this period, serious thinning of the hair follicles can be seen.

Skin Diseases

Some skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis and lupus cause hair loss. After the treatment of the disease ends, hair loss stops.

Chronic Diseases and Medicines

Medications used in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, blood pressure, heart chemotherapy, as well as birth control pills cause hair loss.

Use of Inner Bonnet

Especially the inner bonnets preferred by women wearing hijab and the tight binding of these bonnets are among the other factors that lead to hair loss over time.
