Female Hair Loss Oh No Please Lord Anything But That





Minoxidil-5% Extra Strength Hair Regrowth for Men, 6 Month Supply


It seems as if we women are always having some kind of issue with hair. We are either trying to shave it off, as in the case of legs, underarms, and private areas, or we are getting it ripped out by the roots by applying hot wax and special paper and yanking really hard on it. Otherwise, we are trying to change the color from brown to red or red to blonde or gray to anything else – in the case of some older women, even blue is preferable to gray. We sometimes have bad hair days that make our whole world seem crappy, and our boyfriends and husbands are likely to get chewed out if they don’t notice a new haircut. It is true, there are lots of frivolous issues with our hair, but female hair loss is another thing entirely.

While we are spending inordinate amounts of time and money to get rid of hair everywhere else, if we even think we might be having female hair loss from the hair on our heads, we freak out. We might even be holding a razor to our legs in one hand, and rubbing Rogaine into our scalps with the other. Hair, hair everywhere, and not a strand where it belongs.

There are several reasons why hair loss, female or male, can occur. Even though a lot of people suspect that there is nothing to be done about it or that it is purely hereditary, that is not necessarily the case. Of course, everything is genetic to some degree, but lifestyle makes a difference, too. Nature versus nurture has been a debate for a long time. When it comes to hair, you need to nurture yourself and the hair on your head, regardless of what nature gave you.

Female hair loss can result from:

Hormonal issues

Stress

Depression medication’s side effects

Vitamin deficiencies

Oral contraceptive use

Other chemical contraceptive use

Certain diseases, illnesses, and conditions

Excessive androgen in the system

Treating female hair loss can be difficult. Most physicians prefer not to use medicines that are taken and affect the whole body unless they are absolutely certain that androgen is the issue causing the hair loss. If androgen is the primary concern, however, there are treatments available from your doctor.

Minoxidil 2% topical treatment is available for women, also. Minoxidil began its life as a treatment for high blood pressure, but hair growth was a troublesome side effect. A new miracle hair-growth medicine was born, and billions of dollars have been spent on it ever since. Talk about luck. That was one lucky scientist – he or she was trying to come up with yet another hypertension drug – there are probably dozens or hundreds already – and instead created the first and only FDA-approved male and female hair loss treatment.

There are other medications that are not specifically approved for female hair loss treatment, as well, but are approved by the FDA for other conditions, and some doctors prescribe them “off label” for male or female hair loss complaints. You can talk to your physician about those.

Hair loss for a female can be quite worrisome and really have a negative effect, but ladies, if your hair is thinning, know that you are not alone in your hair battles. We all have them, in some fashion or another, and just think about this: You may be losing your hair, but some women actually have excess hair – even on their faces! If it’s not one female hair thing, it’s another.
