in FEMALE HAIR LOSS, HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED
I began losing my hair more than 10 years ago after having an allergic reaction to a hair conditioner. After having surgery for ovarian cysts I lost most of the hair in my crown and have a receeding hairline. Some of the hair has returned on my crown but it is very thin won’t grow. My scalp becomes very tender right before each time I have more significant hair loss. Can you suggest anything to help regrow and keep my hair?
The advertisements for treatment of balding and hair loss in men can’t be missed. These ads might lead one to believe that hair loss is generally an issue affecting men. However, the fact is that as many as two thirds of all women experience hair loss at some point.
Fortunately, hair loss in women typically does not result in complete baldness, as is often the case with men.
Androgenetic alopecia in men is what is known as male-pattern baldness: hair loss that starts at the front of the scalp and recedes backward over time, and hair in the center of the scalp thins and falls out.
In women, this instead results in uniform hair thinning. Women who develop androgenetic alopecia may be suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome.
