Thinning Hair on Women -Female Pattern Hairloss Scale
Thinning Hair – Female Pattern Hairloss Scale [ad#Ad-plus-sense] Female thinning hair and hairloss is an issue that affects at least 20% of women and can be very difficult to diagnose because the different conditions and causes can have a similar superficial appearance. Your doctor may initiate an early diagnosis or recommend the following tests to start a process of elimination before a dermatologist is recommended. * Hormone levels (DHEAS,Testosterone, Androstenedione, Prolactin, Follicular Stimulating Hormone, and Leutinizing Hormone). * Serum Iron, Serum Ferritin, TIBC (Total Iron Binding capacity) * Thyroid Stimulating Hormone * VDRL * Complete Blood Count (CBC) * Scalp Biopsy The female pattern hairloss is measured on a scale of loss similar to male pattern hairloss.

Women’s Hair Loss
Patterns of Hair Loss [ad#Ad-plus-sense]One of the commonest forms of hair loss in women (and men) is a condition called telogen effluvium, in which there is a diffuse (or widely spread out) shedding of hairs around the scalp and elsewhere on the body. This is usually a reaction to intense stress on the body’s physical or hormonal systems, or as a reaction to medication. The condition, which can occur at any age, generally begins fairly suddenly and gets better on its own within about six months, although for a few people it can become a chronic problem. Because telogen effluvium develops a while after its trigger, and causes generalised thinning of hair density rather than a bald patch, women with the condition can easily be diagnosed as overanxious or neurotic. Fortunately, it often gets better with time. Telogen effluvium is a phenomenon related to the growth cycles of hair. Hair growth cycles alternate between a growth phase (called anagen, it lasts about three years) and a resting phase (telogen, which lasts about three months). During telogen, the hair remains in the follicle until it is pushed out by the growth of a new hair in the anagen phase. At any one time, up to about 15 per cent of hairs are in telogen. But a sudden stress on the body can trigger large numbers of hairs to enter the telogen phase at the same time. Then, about three months later, this large number of hairs will be shed. As the [...]
