Women and Hairloss
from:Increasing numbers of women are losing their locks. Trichologist Philip Kingsley gets to the root of how to combat it
Bald pates and comb-overs are as much a part of stereotypical male middle age as beer guts and sports cars. But if you think hair loss is a men-only problem, think again. Increasing numbers of women are admitting that they see great clumps of hair going down the plughole each day.
In recent years, there have been many reports that female hair loss is on the rise. A recent survey of more than 2,000 women suggests it is at a record high, and that up to 35% of women have been to see their doctor with the problem.
So, why has it become so widespread? As with many modern health concerns, the prime suspect is stress. There may well be some truth in that, not least because stress can increase androgens (male hormones) in the body, which, in turn, can lead to hair loss. The fact that women are having children later in life may also be a factor, as this is known to affect the rate of hair loss and thinning. Equally, both men and women who have a history of diabetes in their families are more likely to suffer from hair loss, and as this is also increasing, it may be having a knock-on effect.
To complicate matters, some women who think they are losing hair may actually only be suffering a loss in volume – the hairs may be decreasing in diameter, even though there are just as many hairs as before. However, no matter what the cause or true extent of the problem, hair loss is a real and worrying concern for sufferers. At worst, it has been known to cause suicidal tendencies because of a perceived loss of femininity and attractiveness.
