Women's Hair Loss
Causes of Hair Loss in Women
Causes of hair loss in women can be caused by many factors. A number of "non-androgenic" factors may be responsible for hair loss in women. Women's hair seems to be particularly sensitive to underlying medical conditions. Since "systemic" problems often cause a diffuse type of hair loss pattern that can be confused with genetic balding, it is important that women with undiagnosed hair loss, especially of the diffuse or "un-patterned" type, be properly evaluated.
Among the many medical conditions that can cause hair loss in women, the most common ones are:
- anemia
- thyroid disease
- other endocrine problems (especially those that produce excess sex hormones, also known as androgens)
- gynecological conditions, such as irregular menstrual cycles
- connective tissue disease (such as Lupus)
- surgical procedures and general anesthesia
- rapid weight loss or crash diets that are not nutritionally balanced
- severe emotional stress
It is also important to review the use of medications that can cause hair loss. The more common ones are:
- oral contraceptives
- thyroid medication
- blood pressure medication (such as beta-blockers or water pills)
- "mood" medication such as lithium, Prozac, or tri-cyclic antidepressants
- blood thinners such as heparin or coumadin
- cholesterol lowering medication
- medication for gout
- anti-inflammatory drugs such as cortisone
- vitamin A or tryptophan in high doses
- street drugs (such as cocaine)
