Hair loss in women:

if hair is coming out in clumps, or you notice circular patches of balding spots, however, there is definitely a problem, and treatment will be based upon the specific cause.The following causes should be investigated if you are experiencing more-than-normal hair loss

You need a strong anti-androgen topical that will stop hormones attacking your hair follicles. I say topical to avoid any nasty side affects.

The strongest topical anti-androgen on the market is Androvex. I think you buy it online

It'll give you regrowth and no side affects.

One of the largest reasons besides cancer treatment is THYROID imbalance. Very easy to test and treat for.

Answer: If your hair is falling out the best thing you can do is to see a doctor, get a physical and see a good dermatologist and an endocrinologist. They can check for thyroid issues and other conditions or deficiencies that may be causing hair loss.

Hair loss and thinning hair in women is primarily due to inherited genetics, but there are other causes of hair loss such as hormonal changes, discontinuation of birth control pills, sudden changes in diet, thyroid problems and stress. Some studies suggest that a majority of premenopausal women and a greater number of postmenopausal women will experience some degree of diffuse hair thinning as part of the natural aging process. A medical exam and blood lab work is often required for the proper diagnosis of female pattern hair loss. If certain medical causes can be identified and treated, female hair loss can in many cases be reversed. The keys for effective female hair loss treatment are a proper diagnosis by a hair loss expert, early intervention, and proper education of all the non surgical and surgical female hair loss solutions.

Anorexia, lack of vitamins, or a lack of a special hormone that causes hair growth. You can see the doctor for special shots for hormones, or a special wash to stimulate more growth.
