Female Pattern Baldness What You Should Know?
Female pattern baldness is a common condition
that affects 50 of all women by the time they
reach their 60s. It can be an upsetting
experience to go through, especially when it's
something you never expected would happen to you.
But with so many treatments available, female
pattern baldness doesn't have to be a life
sentence! In this blog post, we will discuss some
of the causes and treatments for female pattern
baldness.

What is Female Pattern Baldness?
Female pattern baldness is a condition that
causes thinning of the hair on a woman's head. It
is typically seen in women who have gone through
menopause and can be attributed to low levels of
estrogen as well as genetics.

What does Female Pattern Baldness look like?
Thinning hair and more shedding than usual are
signs of female pattern baldness. Hair may be
lost from anywhere on your head, but it will
typically happen at a higher rate around your
temples or along the length of the top of your
scalp.
4
Can Genetics cause Female Pattern Baldness?
As mentioned above, genetics can play a role in
female pattern baldness. Particularly, female
pattern baldness can be hereditary if you have a
mother, grandmother, or sister who experienced
the condition.
5
How is it Diagnosed?
As mentioned above, female pattern baldness is
often diagnosed through clinical evaluation by a
dermatologist because the symptoms are similar to
those of an underlying thyroid condition or iron
deficiency. Therefore, a blood test may be
required to rule out other causes of hair loss.

Treatment for Female Pattern Baldness?

• Female Pattern Baldness can be treated by oral
  medications, topical creams or lotions, and
  treatments with injections. Treatment for female
  pattern baldness should be customized to the
  individual's hair loss condition and preferences.
• Common treatments include
• Rogaine, a topical lotion that is applied
  directly to the scalp two times per day.
• Propecia, an oral medication taken once a day for
  three months and then twice per week thereafter.
• Latisse, a topical lotion that is applied to the
  upper eyelashes twice per day and has been shown
  to grow hair in women.
• Alternatively, some people are able to achieve
  "hair-replacement" by wearing toupees or other
  kinds of wigs on their head. There are also
  surgical options for female pattern baldness
  sufferers, but these procedures are typically
  expensive and invasive.
• But make sure you talk to your doctor before
  applying any of these treatments. Different
  solutions work best for different people, and
  there are possible side effects that should be
  taken into account.

Can Female Pattern Baldness be Prevented?
You can prevent female pattern baldness by
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. That includes
not smoking, minimizing alcohol intake, and
eating well-balanced meals. Above all else, you
should talk to your doctor about any concerns
related to hair loss or scalp conditions that
might warrant treatment with medication (i.e.,
minoxidil). Your physician will be able to
distinguish between alopecia areata (an
autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss),
telogen effluvium (a condition when a sudden
change in hormones may cause stress on the
follicles, resulting in temporary shedding of
hairs), and female pattern baldness.
