Causes of hair loss
Alopecia is caused by the impaired development or death of hair follicles. Losing up to 120 hair pieces daily is considered normal but if its much higher and new hair does not grow, you should be sounding the alarm. Although, having crossed the 40-year mark, about 38% of women note their hair is no longer as thick and voluminous as before; often alopecia in women is an external manifestation of functional failures of certain internal organs or body systems.
There are several causes but basically alopecia is provoked by hormonal imbalances. In addition, it is caused by frequent stress, insufficient vitamins and minerals, head injuries, exposure to radiation and toxic substances.
Treatment of hair loss in women is a task that requires a special approach and depends on the doctor’s skills. The cost of such treatment is due to several factors, and the cause of the disease is one of them. However, your trichologist will tell you the price of hair restoration procedures during your visit.
Forms of alopecia
The effectiveness of the prescribed treatment will depend on the form of female alopecia you have to deal with. The disease is classified based on its causes and signs. Forms of alopecia by causes are as follows:
- Androgenetic. The most common type, diagnosed in 20% of women. Androgenetic alopecia in women occurs due to atrophy of the follicles and deterioration of the hair under the influence of hormones. Androgenetic alopecia is caused by hormonal imbalance, polycystic disease, and ovarian hyperplasia. It is characterized by hair loss in the area of the central parting.
- Seborrheic alopecia is directly related to seborrhea, a disease accompanied by excessive oiliness of the scalp, flaking, and itching.
- Symptomatic alopecia due to a particular disease. Stress and past infections can also cause hair loss, which does not appear immediately but after 3-4 months.
- Toxic alopecia is caused by exposure to toxic substances and certain drugs.
- Cicatricial alopecia occurs at the site of injury, frostbite, burns, where a scar is formed, which has no hair follicles.
Alopecia by forms of hair loss:
Diffuse alopecia, which is more typical for women. Hair is thinning, lost evenly, without any foci of baldness.
Diffuse alopecia may be the result of:
- frequent stress, depression, lack of sleep;
- malnutrition, diets;
- surgical operations, anemia, gastrointestinal diseases.
It also develops as a result of irradiation, treatment of oncological diseases with chemotherapy and after poisoning with toxic substances.
Alopecia areata, which is characterized by hair loss in small rounded foci. In the absence of treatment of alopecia areata, foci of alopecia on the temples, over time, merge with the occipital and parietal foci into one vast area. The development of alopecia areata is most often associated with poor immunity due to chronic diseases, infections, acute respiratory viral infections, and endocrine disorders.
Total alopecia develops quickly. Areas of hair loss: all over the body.
