Womens hair loss is almost as common as mens, and more common
than many realise. And as her hair is a more important part of
her look, womens hair loss can cause more severe psychological
distress for women than for men.

For men, hair loss can be a normal, if unwanted, part of life.
Many men just choose to live with it. But womens hair loss can
be very distressing. Hair loss can be socially acceptable for
men, even fashionable, but for women it is not.

There can be many reasons for womens hair loss. Some of them can
be the same as for men. Certain diseases can cause hair loss, as
well as certain medications, for example. These can be similar
for men and women.

And then some womens hair loss can be caused by conditions
specific to women. Menopause for example.

And women can suffer from inherited hair loss, just as men do.
Female pattern baldness exists just as male pattern baldness
does. Womens hair loss caused by inherited factors will usually
take a slightly different form. Inherited womens hair loss tends
to manifest itself in different ways and different places than
for men.

Women usually maintain their hairline, and suffer from thinning
hair, whereas men tend to lose their hairline and often all hair
in certain places.

It is not generally understood in the community that womens hair
loss is almost as common as mens. It is often less visible, and
women can cover it up often so it is not noticed as often.

And womens hair loss can be the cause of more severe
psychological reactions in women than men and so women can often
benefit from some forms of counselling.

So if you are suffering from womens hair loss what do you do? It
is vital to understand that you can only take the appropriate
steps to attempt to control or reverse your hair loss once you
know what is causing it. Visit your doctor and if necessary your
doctor will refer you to a specialist.

Then you know why you are losing your hair. You should receive
some clear instructions from your medical professional on the
options open to you, the likelihood of success, the possible
side affects if any and the cost. Only then can you make an
informed decision on how to deal with womens hair loss as it
affects you.

Different causes of womens hair loss are treated very
differently. Many of the treatments available to women are the
same as those available to men, some are different.

So, if you are suffering from womens hair loss do something
about it now. Don‚t ignore it and worry. Visit your doctor and
find out why, whether you need to do anything about it and if so
what.
