How many times have you been watching television and seen a commercial promoting some product that is supposed to reverse baldness in men? That even includes the aerosol men's cosmetic hair loss cover-up. No rocket science involved to easily see that it's all about hair loss suffered by men. The point and issue is that very many women suffer from hair loss, as well. Women lose their hair in startling numbers - just as many women as men, and for even more reasons than men. We'll cover just some of the primary reasons for women's hair loss.

As you know, the condition in men is called male pattern baldness. Female pattern hair loss is the equivalent condition that occurs in women. It's not same as androgenic alopecia, but it's similar to it. For women, the main difference is pattern of hair loss. In men, this condition hits in specific places first and then stretches out to other areas of the scalp. Women begin to thin at the crown, and all over the top, and it gets thinner.

It's just like there is no real pattern because it's all over the top. Another area related to chemistry includes body hormones, and that can also look like hair loss. Many possible reactions can occur when the hormones become out of balance. Energy levels can be affected as well as moods and weight. Hair can be lost, get thin or it can stop growing altogether. Sometimes you don't always notice these things right away, but if you do then you should consult your doctor, immediately. After your doctor assesses runs tests, then a solid recommendation will be made and you can proceed as you see fit to do.

One big contributor to hair loss in women is menopause. There are numerous changes that occur when menopause hits, and hair loss is among them. Typically, it is only after menopause has occurred in a woman's life that she begins to experience the bulk of her hair loss. The main reason for this phenomenon is due to a drop in estrogen levels and the effect is has on other chemicals. Sadly, for women who lose a lot of hair due to this, it will not grow back even if replacement therapy for her hormones is undertaken. Talk with your doctor about the other options that are available to you. There are many causes of hair loss in women. It is known that there are environmental factors, emotional reasons, as well as physical causes. If you want to know for absolute sure, then just see your physician for tests and assessment.
