Hence in the event of hair loss, women undergo a big trauma and are prepared to take any kind of corrective measures to get back their lost hair.In certain cases the reason for hair loss in women could be due to hereditary issues.

Further, hair loss in women can also happen due to infection, resultant overdose of a drug, or perhaps even due to the side effects of certain drugs.

For reasons other than hereditary issue, treatment methods are there for arresting hair loss in women. The drug or the treatment should be based on the findings of the underlying reason so as to have an effective cure.

Ascertaining the Reason for Hair Loss

There are so many stages of development in the growth cycle of women, say puberty stage at the age of 11 or 12 years, maturity stage at the age of 14 to 18 years, active reproductive stage at the age 18 to 35 years, pre-menopause stage at the age of 35 to 40 years and post-menopause stage after 45 years of age.

In women even the post menopause stage at the age of 45 to 50 years also can create havoc and result in hair loss. All the above-mentioned stage involves a change in hormonal levels in women and they also respond to the change by losing hair.

Hormonal change is the main reason for hair loss in women.However, there are few other reasons including the reason of inherited genes that are responsible for hair loss during pre or post-menopause stage in women.

Further, when the women become pregnant, they tend to grow more hair and experience very heavy hair loss immediately after giving birth to the baby. This is again due to the hormonal changes in the body.

Stress also contributes its might in causing hair loss in women. It was proved that when women experience stress, the hair follicles will enter into a resting state, which is nothing but the “telogen effluvium” phase and later result in hair loss.

Administered Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy for cancer treatment can also be a major reason for hair loss in women.

During the chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment, it is quite normal for the matrix of the hair to get damaged resulting in a very heavy hair loss.

A yet another reason for hair loss in women is the autoimmune disorder, which is also popularly known as alopecia aerata. This condition is still baffling the dermatologists and the whole medical world.

Under this condition, the hair follicles will be deprived from getting the essential nutrients due to the inflammation of the surrounding tissues and eventually the hair follicle will start shedding the hair.

If you want to have an effective treatment for your hair loss then you must find out the reason for hair loss and get the medicine prescribed based on the identified reason or reasons.

Get your hair loss cause diagnosed correctly first by taking the assistance of a professional before you could try any of the medicines.
