Hair loss in Women is very common. Surprised to hear that? 30% of our
users are females, and that number has steadily grown over the years.
The discomfort and social factors surrounding a woman who is losing her
hair can make the experience 10 times more difficult than for a man, and
the complete lack of information on the topic out there only compounds
the problem. That is why we made this guide.
Its very important that you remember one thing above all else in this
process: Educate yourself.
If you made it this far then you are on the right track. It is unfortunate
but true that Physicians these days seem to have less and less education
on many conditions, and being proactive on behalf of your own health is
imperative to getting good treatment. In the next few pages, we will arm
you with knowledge. It will be your job to discuss this information with
your physician and get the care you need. Expect to hit some roadblocks
along the way however, as this is the sad state of our medical system
today. The physician fully educated in women's hair loss will undoubtedly
agree with anything you find herein.

The Philosophy
of Women's Hair Loss
|
 |
Treating and diagnosing Female hair loss is not as simple and
straight forward as male pattern baldness. Many physicians subscribe
to the theory that women should immediately begin a regimen of growth
stimulants (whether it be Rogaine for Women, or other). Like men's hair
loss however, there are underlying causes, and the good news is that
a large percent of women's hair loss is completely reversible. The general
idea behind diagnosing and treating it involves a responsible informed
physician and a series of tests to rule out, or rule in, the causes.
The most common causes of hair loss in women are hormonally related.
Whether it be an overactive thyroid, or the after effects of menopause
or pregnancy, there usually is a "good" reason why women lose
their hair. The key is to find out what the reason is, and to then evaluate
your options in dealing with it. If and when this is not possible, we
will give you the steps on how to proceed. First things first though,
let's find out how to help your doctor diagnose your condition.
