Female Baldness

 The type of hair loss that affects women is called female pattern baldness. In the medical field, this situation is known as “Androgenetic Alopecia”. Both genders experience this damage but it is more common in men as compared to women. Generally, women experience pelt thinning that leads to affecting the volume. A widening part or a feeling that the pelt is not as thick as usual may be the earliest indicators of female pattern baldness. Even if the scalp is visible, the hairline does not normally recede. Alopecia is less common in women than in men, but it still occurs on a regular basis. The problem worsens with age, and only about half of women experience it. Women have a full covered head for the rest of their lives. An underlying endocrine disorder or a hormone-secreting tumor is the most common cause of female alopecia. Consult your doctor if you have any other symptoms, such as an irregular period, severe acne, or an increase in unwanted fur. You may be dealing with a different sort of loss.

The sort of treatment suggested for female baldness will be determined by the severity of the loss, as well as other considerations. The treatment can help prevent future loss and may even result in some hair regrowth. In most situations, long-term treatment is required to avoid recurrence of loss. There is the following treatment for baldness;

• Minoxidil is a topical medicine that can be used on both men and women to treat the loss. The therapy is applied to the scalp daily and may help to encourage the growth and prevent further loss.
• Spironolactone, a diuretic, is one of the most frequent oral drugs used to treat female pattern baldness. Diuretics help the body rid itself of excess water. The medicine may also prevent the loss and help hair regenerate by inhibiting the production of androgen. Spironolactone should not be taken by pregnant women since it has the potential to cause congenital defects.
  
• A transplant involves transplanting grafts to a balding area of the scalp. A transplant may be an option for certain ladies. This loss usually affects only a few places of the scalp. During a transplant, the doctor pulls the grafts from an area with good hair growth and transplants it to an area where it is missing.
• Some people may choose to try at-home laser fur loss treatment. These devices encourage the regrowth by producing low quantities of laser light. Women and men can benefit from low-level laser light therapy to promote fur growth.
