Thinning hair is something that is not only a big problem for men, but also for women. If you are one of the women suffering from hair loss, please read this article to find out what causes it and what could be done about it.
If you are a women in their 50s, you may be going through the menopause. As the hormone levels in your body start to fluctuate you will start to produce less female hormones. Although this means you’re not necessarily producing more male hormones, your body interprets that it has more male hormone (such as the androgen testosterone) in circulation. Actually, what has happened is that the counterbalance of the estrogen is no longer there. As androgen begin to dominate your system, you can experience symptoms that are more often associated with male characteristics such as male pattern baldness, acne, and increased facial hair (particularly on your upper lip).
So what is the reason why female hair thinning affects you and not all women? Sometimes your genes are to blame, and they can be inherited both, from your mom and dad. Even though female hair thinning is more common in women than people think (about 10 percent of all women suffer from it even before menopause) it is very common once you reach certain age. After menopause, more than 2/3 of all women suffer from hair thinning.
If the way your hair looks really starts to bother you and you don’t feel as confident about the way you look as you used to, it is time to see a medical expert about it.
