Hair loss in women: Causes and treatments

Common causes of hair loss in women

Androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss): This is a genetic form of hair loss that usually causes a gradual thinning of the hair on the scalp. It is the most common cause of hair loss in women.
Telogen effluvium: A temporary form of hair loss caused by stress, illness, childbirth or hormonal changes. Hair enters the resting phase faster than normal, leading to increased hair loss.
Alopecia areata: An autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in patchy hair loss.
Hormonal imbalances: The impact of diseases such as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) or post-menopause can lead to thinning hair.
Thyroid problems: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause hair loss.
Diet and nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients such as zinc, biotin, or protein can impair hair growth and quality.

Medical treatments:
- Minoxidil: A medicine approved for the treatment of hair loss in women. It is applied directly to the scalp and can stimulate growth.
- Hormone therapy: In cases of hormonal imbalances, treatments that regulate hormone levels can be effective.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy:PRP therapy uses the body's own blood plasma rich in growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and promote new hair growth.
Hair transplantation:Modern techniques such as FUE and DHI allow women to regain their hair in a natural and effective way. This is an option for women with significant hair loss.
Diet and lifestyle:Ensuring you get all the essential nutrients, managing stress and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help improve hair quality and reduce hair loss.
Laser treatment:Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can be used to stimulate hair growth by increasing blood circulation to the scalp.
