Female balding is common than most people think

 Female balding has remained in the shadows of male balding for generations.  Today, you are starting to hear and see more and more about women’s hair loss.  Products and procedures are being specifically designed to treat female balding and more research money is going into it everyday.  Women lose their hair for a number of reasons and it is important that the cause of hair loss be determined quickly.

Female balding or thinning often occurs after a woman gives birth.  Often 3 to 4 months after the baby is born, a new mother will experience significant shedding and may feel they are going bald.  The important thing is not to panic.  This is rarely a permanent thing and the shedding will stop after a few months.  But if you haven’t had a baby and you are losing you hair, there may be cause for alarm.

Female balding can be hereditary, caused by vitamin or mineral deficiencies, due to hormonal changes, caused by stress or other illnesses.  A high percentage of menopausal women experience hair loss.  If you are in this category, seek advice from your doctor on hair loss preventions and solutions.  If you are not in this category and are losing your hair, it is important to find out why immediately.  So make an appointment with your doctor today.
