Female Pattern Baldness
May 19, 2021 , Last updated: September 6, 2024

Women tend to lose more hair strands per day than men. On an average, it is normal to lose up to 50-100 hair strands in a day. This range can also differ from person to person depending on the hair growth cycle. However, if you are not sure how much hair fall is normal for you, it’s a good idea to compare your current hair fall to your earlier hair fall. The hair in your brush, shower drain or a gradually thinning ponytail can be indications of hair loss. If you’re experiencing hair fall that is unusual for you, you should visit an expert homeopath.

Causes of hair fall in women

Knowing the reasons for hair loss can be tricky as there are many different causes of hair fall. Here are some of the common causes of hair fall in women.

  • Genetics:

    Female pattern baldness is a type of hair loss in women that largely occurs due to genes. Genetics or hereditary hair loss means that hair loss runs in your family. However, early intervention with the right hair fall treatment can help you manage and can even reverse this type of hair loss.

     

  • Hormonal changes:

    Menopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), underactive thyroid or stress can result in a hormonal imbalance. When the levels of estrogen and progesterone drop, it disrupts the hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss.

     

  • Nutritional deficiencies:

    Menopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), underactive thyroid or stress can result in a hormonal imbalance. When the levels of estrogen and progesterone drop, it disrupts the hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss.

     

  • Medications:

    Certain medicines used to manage blood pressure, cancer or depression may cause hair loss. In most cases, hair loss caused by the consumption of medicine is temporary or lasts until the medicine is being used.

     

  • Hormonal changes:

    Daily hair styling, frequent hair colouring or certain hairstyles can damage your hair. It leaves your hair follicles vulnerable to damage and eventually results in hair fall. It can cause a receding hairline or traction alopecia and the hair loss may also become permanent.

If you notice thinning hair or hair fall, there could be an underlying problem that needs to be addressed. Certain medical conditions such as skin problems, autoimmune disorders, or stress can also lead to hair loss. Timely medical attention can help you find the underlying causes of hair fall which in turn can help you determine a suitable hair falling treatment.

Hair Treatment

Treating hair fall with conventional treatments may cause hair loss to return as soon as you stop using the convention treatment, usually giving only temporary results. It may also cause side effects such as skin irritation, hair growth in unwanted areas, acne and weight gain amongst others. For a natural, safe, and effective hair treatment choose homeopathic medicines for hair loss. A case study published in the Indian Journal of Research in Homeopathy found that homeopathic hair treatment showed improvement. In the case of an 11-year-old boy with alopecia areata, there was significant improvement and the complete disappearance of bald patches without any recurrence.
