What Causes Hair Loss in Women?

Hair loss affects millions of women and can significantly impact self-confidence. While some shedding is normal, excessive hair loss may indicate an underlying issue that deserves evaluation.

Common causes of female hair loss include:

Hormonal Changes

Pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, and hormonal imbalances can all affect hair growth.

Genetics

Female pattern hair loss often runs in families and becomes more noticeable with age.

Stress

Physical or emotional stress can trigger increased shedding known as telogen effluvium.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Low iron, vitamin D deficiency, and inadequate protein intake may contribute to hair thinning.

Medical Conditions

Autoimmune disorders, scalp conditions, and certain medications can affect hair growth.

Early diagnosis is key. Many forms of hair loss respond best when treated in their early stages.

At OSVI Dermatology, we perform comprehensive evaluations to identify the cause of hair loss and develop personalized treatment plans. Options may include PRP, TED Hair Restoration, topical medications, supplements, and advanced hair restoration procedures.

If you're noticing increased shedding, widening parts, or thinning hair, don't wait to seek professional guidance.
