Why
don't we hear about female baldness?
By Peter Crump
Female baldness is not as common as male baldness,
which is probably why we dont hear as much about it. Women are
more self-conscious about baldness when it occurs and tend to
suffer a lot more psychologically because of it than men do.
Female baldness is often caused by hormones, such as the loss
of estrogen after menopause, genetics (women are just as susceptible
to inherited baldness as men) and the natural hair loss that
comes with aging.
The main difference between male and female baldness is that
women do not experience a receding hairline when suffering from
female baldness. Baldness solutions also differ for both genders
because some of the topical products that are prescribed for
men do cause hair to grow on other parts of the body. The same
thing applies to some of the hair growth pills. Women should
contact their doctors to find is a baldness solution that is
safe for them to use.
There are some topical solutions designed for
both men and women that have no harmful side effects. The problem
of baldness is bad enough without adding to it with more problems
from products that do cause other conditions. Females are often
better candidates for hair transplants than men, because of
the fact that they do not lose all their hair. In fact total
baldness is rare in females.
As a baldness solution, medical hair restoration for female
baldness begins with a consultation with a hair restoration
surgeon. The surgeon will take a sample of healthy hair and
then dissect it under a microscope to make hair grafts. These
hair grafts are then fitted precisely onto the bald spots at
different angles so that they will grow together with the normal
hair.
There are also baldness solutions that have promising results
with female baldness. One of these is a hair growth shampoo
that helps to remover DHT from the scalp. DHT stands for Dihydotestosteron,
which blocks the hair follicles and is a leading cause of baldness
in both men and women.
Another way that female baldness differs from that of males
is that females tend to experience bald patches at different
places on their heads or a general thinning of the hair. Women
are better able to cover up bald patches and often wear stylish
wigs that are indistinguishable from natural hair.
The next time you complain because you need another
haircut, just think of those that wish they had hair to cut.So
if you are suffering from female baldness talk to your doctor,
there are things which can be done about it. Dont suffer in
silence.
