Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

Things That Cause Women's Hair Loss

By Steve Glide

Hair loss can be upsetting for anyone but think of how a woman feels when it happens to them. Most women try to maintain the look of their hair as it is a large part of their overall appearance. When they have hair loss many of them are very despondent. There are things that can cause this to happen more often than others and we will talk about a few of them now.

Our bodies require vitamins and other nutrients in order to thrive. Our hair works in the same manner as this and iron plays a vital role in hair growth. If for some reason you have low levels of iron in your system it can be your hair that suffers. Thinning hair and hair loss can be quite common for women that have low iron.

Having your iron checked by your doctor can help determine this and a course of treatment can be determined from that point.

Menopause can also be known to cause hair loss in women. The changes of the estrogen in the body can affect many things and your hair is not exempt from being one of them. Once this is determined to be the cause and corrective action has been taken, the hair loss stops and things generally return to normal. This can also be found to happen in women after giving birth, but usually corrects itself over the course of a few months.

Undergoing surgery and other very situations that cause a large amount of stress can also cause hair loss for women. Most of the time once the surgery and recovery period has elapsed, the hair will return to its previous state. Your doctor can help you with this as well, as he will be monitoring your post surgery condition to make sure that there are no major complications that develop as well.

Many women are put on certain medications for one reason or another. Some of these can have hair loss as a side effect of taking them. It is not known if this will be the case until the person starts the medication though. If a side effect like hair loss presents itself then the person needs to contact the doctor to see what alternative may be available to them. There are times that the hair loss due to medication may only be a temporary thing but this still needs to be discussed with a doctor to make sure that this is the case.

There are other things that do cause hair loss as well, but these are quite often the main causes for it. Discussing the situation with your doctor is essential if you want to get to the root of the problem.
