Androgenetic alopecia is another term for female pattern baldness. It is very common in men but extremely rare in women. Alopecia is more likely to happen as a person ages but can start at any point after puberty. Many females who experience androgenetic alopecia can be temporary or triggered after going through menopause. This means that hormones may have something to do with it.
Menopause is a very common cause for hair loss in women. Not to be confused with female pattern baldness. Hair Loss Heroes is very successful in treating hair loss for menopausal women.
Some women may experience excessive hair loss shortly after giving birth. This is due to a decrease in estrogen levels. This type of hair loss is a temporary condition and usually resolves within a 12 to 18 months.

Telogen effluvium is a condition where the hair remains in the telogen (natural shedding) phase of the hair growth cycle. This causes excessive hair thinning, sometimes in handfuls.

Anagen effluvium causes large amounts of hair thinning during the anagen (hair growth) phase of the hair cycle. The condition may cause hair loss from the head, as well as from other parts of the body, including eyebrows and eyelashes.

Treatment for this hair loss condition can include a topical medication. If you have anagen effluvium as a result of undergoing chemotherapy, cooling the scalp during the procedure may help.
