Causes of hair loss in women

There are many reasons that lead to hair loss in women, the most prominent of which are
Hereditary baldness: Hereditary baldness is considered one of the most common types of hair loss in women, and it is hereditary and is passed on from one generation to another
Autoimmune diseases: Some diseases that In which the immune system attacks the body's cells, such as alopecia areata, it may cause hair loss
Hormonal changes: Changes in hormone levels, especially during periods such as pregnancy or menopause, may lead to hair loss

Aging: As you age, hair becomes more susceptible to falling out due to weak follicles
Pregnancy: Many women suffer from hair loss after childbirth due to hormonal changes

Severe diet: Lack of nutrition and vitamins, especially iron, plays a major role in hair loss
Iron deficiency: Anemia caused by iron deficiency is one of the most common factors that lead to hair loss
Male pattern baldness: Also known as androgenetic alopecia, it is one of the main causes of hair loss in women and men alike Whether

What is androgenetic alopecia?



Androgenetic alopecia, or what is known as male pattern baldness, is one of the patterns that appear in both men and women. It is characterized by the shrinkage of thick hair follicles to become thin and prone to falling out over time. Despite the similarity between men and women in the pattern of hair loss, there are fundamental differences between the sexes

Differences between men and women in androgenetic alopecia

In men: Baldness appears as large gaps in the front of the head and crown area In women: Hair gaps are less visible and smaller than in men, which makes it difficult to detect baldness in women in its early stages

Grades of androgenetic alopecia in women

In addition, there are three basic degrees of androgenetic alopecia in women that differ in severity and extent Diffuse (progressive) hair loss Localized (stable) hair loss Hair loss in male pattern Diffuse (progressive) hair loss: This type of hair loss is characterized by diffuse thinning in the crown area, and may extend to include the entire scalp while preserving the frontal hairline According to the severity of hair loss, the development of baldness in women can be classified on the **Ludwig** scale as follows: Ludwig I, II, III. Ludwig I: This type is known as the first and most moderate stage of hair loss. Thinning in the crown area is mild



Ludwig II: At this stage, hair thinning in the crown area is more severe and is accompanied by a significant decrease in hair density and a widening of the hairline in the middle of the scalp. If the donor area contains healthy hair follicles, hair transplantation may be a suitable option at this stage.



Ludwig III: At this stage, the frontal hairline is still preserved, but the crown area shows significant hair loss, with the hairline widening significantly and the hair becoming so thin that it is difficult to hide the scalp. If the patient has sufficient hair reserves in the donor area, hair transplantation may be the only solution.

Ways to prevent hair loss in women

To prevent hair loss in women, it depends mainly on following a healthy and balanced diet, in addition to the treatment determined by the specialist doctor based on the patient's condition. Before starting any treatment plan, the patient must undergo an accurate diagnosis to determine the extent of hair loss and its continuity, and then an appropriate treatment plan is developed.

The most important treatment methods recommended for women

Hair transplantation Hair transplantation is the ideal solution to get rid of the problem of baldness and hair loss. The process depends on transferring hair follicles from the donor area to the area affected by hair loss.

Because it is a process that involves limited surgical intervention compared to other operations, many patients prefer it, but it is important that it is done in specialized and experienced medical centers to ensure achieving the desired results.

Women with female pattern hair loss need a different approach to hair transplantation compared to men, as hair loss in women does not usually cause a receding hairline, but often affects the crown and sides.

Minoxidil Minoxidil was initially used as a medication to treat high blood pressure, but after discovering its effect in stimulating hair growth, it was developed into a liquid, foam, or spray form that is used directly on the scalp in two concentrations: 2% and 5%. It is used twice daily on the areas affected by hair loss, and it is recommended to leave it for at least four hours to get the best results. This drug is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat hair loss.

Plasma needles Plasma needles are an effective treatment for strengthening hair follicles. This technique depends on taking a blood sample from the patient, then separating the platelet-rich plasma using a centrifuge, and then injecting the plasma into the areas affected by baldness to stimulate hair growth and strengthen it.

Hair mesotherapy Hair mesotherapy is a treatment that depends on injecting a group of vitamins and nutrients into the scalp using fine needles. These doses are given regularly, and it is considered one of the most common methods for treating hair loss.

Proper nutrition To maintain healthy hair and prevent hair loss, it is recommended to follow a diet rich in biotin, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and vitamins A, E, C, and B6. Foods that are beneficial in this regard include spinach, bananas, leafy vegetables, meat, eggs, and grains, as these nutrients help strengthen hair follicles and protect them from falling out.
