Female
Pattern Baldness:
Female pattern baldness (Alopecia in women; Baldness - female; Hair loss
in women; Androgenic alopecia in women) involves a typical pattern of loss of
hair in women, caused by hormones, aging, and genes.
Causes
- A hair grows
from its follicle at an average rate of about 1/2 inch per month. Each
hair grows for 2 to 6 years, then rests, and then falls out. A new hair
soon begins growing in its place. At any time, about 85% of the hair is
growing and 15% is resting.
- Baldness occurs
when hair falls out but new hair does not grow in its place. The cause of
the failure to grow new hair in female pattern baldness is not well
understood, but it is associated with genetic predisposition, aging, and
levels of endocrine hormones (particularly androgens, the male sex
hormones).
- Changes in the
levels of androgens can affect hair production. For example, after the
hormonal changes of menopause , many women find that the hair on the head
is thinned, while facial hair is coarser. Although new hair is not
produced, follicles remain alive, suggesting the possibility of new hair
growth.
- Female pattern
baldness is usually different from that of male pattern baldness . The
hair thins all over the head, but the frontal hairline is maintained.
There may be a moderate loss of hair on the crown, but this rarely
progresses to total or near baldness as it may in men.
Hair loss can occur in women for reasons other than female pattern
baldness, including the following:
- Temporary shedding of hair (telogen effluvium)
- Breaking of hair (from such things as styling treatments and
twisting or pulling of hair)
- Patchy areas of total hair loss (alopecia areata -- an immune
disorder causing temporary hair loss)
- Medications
- Certain skin diseases
- Hormonal abnormalities
- Iron deficiency
- Underactive thyroid
- Vitamin deficiency
Symptoms
Thinning of hair over the entire head
- Hair loss at the crown or hairline, mild to moderate
Exams and Tests
- Female pattern
baldness is usually diagnosed based on the appearance and pattern of hair
loss and by ruling out other causes of hair loss.
- A skin biopsy or
other procedures may be used to diagnose medical disorders that cause loss
of hair.
- Analysis of the
hair itself is not accurate for diagnosing nutritional or similar causes
of hair loss,
