Diffuse hair loss in women

Diffuse-hair-loss-in-women

Many think, Hair loss is a problem that only affects men. But unfortunately this is absolutely not true! From diffuse Hair loss are on average even more women than men are affected. The reasons for this can be many and varied: Hormonal fluctuations, thyroid disorders, but also Iron deficiency, infections or a stressful everyday life! There are also medicines that cause side effects such as hair loss. Every person loses up to 100 hairs a day. This is quite normal. However, if this number increases, you should urgently do something about it, otherwise your entire head of hair will become thinner and thinner over time. We explain to you what diffuse hair loss means exactly what the causes can be and how you can successfully counteract them!

What is diffuse hair loss?

If the hair on the head becomes uniformly thinner, i.e. is no longer as dense as it used to be, this is usually due to diffuse hair loss. As a result, the scalp usually shows through more than one is used to. Diffuse hair loss, however, is not like the typical form of hair loss - the so-called androgenetic hair loss. alopecia -in which individual bald spots (for example receding hairline) are recognisable.

Such hair loss, often circular, is usually hereditary. In contrast, diffuse alopecia can be recognised by a very even loss of hair on the entire head. This phenomenon occurs in men, but also in women of all ages. However, women are affected far more often. Diffuse hair loss is usually only noticed two to four months after it has started. The reason for this is the hair cycle, which is built up in three phases. Every single hair goes through this regular cycle in which it grows, falls out and finally starts to grow again. The whole thing goes on for years. 

The telogen effluvium

One type of diffuse hair loss is telogen effluvium. Here, hair loss does not begin until several months after the responsible event. The hair enters the loss phase of the cycle prematurely. Only when the cause has been found and successfully corrected does the diffuse hair loss stop and the individual hairs resume their natural hair cycle. 

The anagen effluvium

Another type is anagen effluvium. It already starts in the growth phase of the hair, therefore acute hair loss already occurs one to two weeks after the causative event. This is often the case with chemotherapy, radiation or other strong poisoning of the body. But the good news is that the hair grows back again after the end of the therapy, and possibly even thicker than before. 

These are the causes of diffuse hair loss in women!

Diffuse hair loss is not a classical disease, but merely a symptom of a disorder of the body. One speaks here of a triggering event that is responsible for the disorder. These can be the causes:

Psychological stress

Psychological stress, such as grief, problems in the family or too much pressure and anxiety at work can increase the stress level in the body enormously. This can often lead to hair loss. 

Physical stress

Diffuse hair loss in women is often triggered by mechanical stimuli on the scalp: blow-drying too hot, styling with heat, chemical stimuli from hair dyes, as well as strict braided hairstyles can really stress the hair and scalp and lead to hair loss. But also the wrong care products such as incompatible shampoo can trigger diffuse hair loss. We recommend the very well tolerated Laduti Hair Shampoo against hair loss. 

Hormone change

Hormones are actually the most common cause of diffuse hair loss in women. The female body, through the use of contraceptives, makes a Pregnancy or the Menopause go through different phases that have a huge impact on hormonal balance. Almost 50% of women suffer from diffuse hair loss during the pregnancy months because the oestrogen level in the body drops, which promotes hair loss. Likewise, discontinuation of the pill or the onset of menopause can lead to such a hormonal change.

Deficiency symptoms

A healthy, balanced diet is the basis for healthy hair. If there is an undersupply of certain nutrients due to malnutrition, for example due to an eating disorder, a diet or an alternative nutritional concept, such as veganism, this can also cause diffuse hair loss. Iron deficiency in particular is known to be a common cause. 

Diseases and medicines

If the body is ailing due to an illness, this can also have a negative effect on the hair cycle. Likewise, a malfunction of the thyroid gland or diseases of the scalp, such as eczema, fungi or psoriasis, can cause hair loss. Unfortunately, many medications can also cause hair loss as a side effect. The following medicines are known to cause hair loss:

  • Antibiotics
  • Blood thinner 
  • Lipid reducer
  • ACE inhibitors and beta blockers for high blood pressure
  • Retinoids 
  • Thyroid medication
  • Painkiller

Is diffuse hair loss in women curable?

Sometimes no treatment is necessary at all, because the hair loss (for example after pregnancy) regulates itself again. Otherwise, the problem can of course be remedied by having a doctor diagnose which of the triggers listed above is to blame for the hair loss and then eliminating it. For example, by relaxing more instead of StressA change in diet or a mindful care routine.
