I am not an expert in hormones, but things in medicine are not so binary. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the cause of hair loss in men (not women) who are genetically predisposed to hair loss. You can have a high level of DHT and still have a full head of hair. Women lose hair in a […]

Snippet from the article: Full article at University of Michigan — Women and war: The toll of deployment on physical health Being in a new environment a long way from home, missing loved ones, and certainly war itself can all be extremely stressful, so I can’t say I’m entirely shocked by the high percentages of […]
We have heard of people who initially lose hair when they start Rogaine (minoxidil), the theory in this process is that Rogaine resets the hair cycle and hair that is falling out is actually the hair follicles going into a dormant stage (telogen and catagen). Have you seen your primary care physician or a physician […]
Every bit of information educates the public. Interesting reading. From the article — Read the full article by Dr. Judith Reichman: Today – What women can do to stop hair loss
Many women get a very thin corner that develops over time. The hair is miniaturized, but most often not lost. It grows slowly and rarely bothers the women. It has been suggested that women with this corner thinning, may have some form of genetic balding like the Class 3 males with corner recession.
Many women can not get real benefits from a hair transplant, so that is why I want to see pictures. There is no substitute for a direct examination of your hair with miniaturization studies to determine just where your hair loss is and how good your donor area is. Most women with genetic hair loss […]
Many of these autoimmune diseases are related to each other. Pseudopelade is another type of scarring alopecia. This is the world in which the dermatologist is supreme. Look at what dermatologist and world-class hair transplant doc Robert Bernstein said about the various diseases that are related: BernsteinMedical – The Diagnosis of Hair Loss in Women.
When a balding man develops accelerated hair loss from stress, then that hair loss is usually not reversible on its own without some medical intervention. If the hair loss is recent and the man is young (generally under 30), then it may be stopped or reversed with Propecia (possibly Rogaine, although less likely). Reversals is […]
Hair loss can be genetic without anyone in your family being bald. This is because hair loss gene does not follow a predictable Mendelian genetic inheritance pattern. Hair loss in women is more complicated than hair loss in men, because it does not manifest itself in a specific pattern. While birth control pills and extensive […]
Women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) tend to show male characteristics of their hair loss and are amongst the best ones to treat with a transplant if they bald in a male pattern. The donor area must be examined for miniaturization to be sure that it is healthy. Drugs like finasteride might have value for […]
From the name you gave, I gather you are female. If that is true, you can expect that some or all of the hair loss may reverse in 4-6 months, even if it is transplant shock from the surgery. Best to speak with your doctor and bond with him/her.
There are two possible explanations to your further thinning of hair after using Rogaine. The first one is that it might be a continuing course of your hair loss with or without using Rogaine. On the other hand, Rogaine may induce further hair loss a few weeks or months after initial usage by increasing the […]
You seem to be well aware. Many drugs, such as Tamoxifen, can cause hair loss or even change hair/skin conditions. Judging from your limited history (and without the benefit of seeing you in person), it is difficult to judge the exact nature of your hair loss/ condition. You should be evaluated by a qualified dermatogist […]
With irregular periods, there may well be a connection with the hair loss you are reporting. It is critical for you to get a doctor involved. Please refer to this past blog entry to find a list of tests that should be included in your work-up, which you can show to your family doctor as […]
I believe that your physicians are being honest and open with you. There has been no published data that associates hair loss to Parkinson’s Disease. As stress is one of the factors that can accelerate genetic hair loss, it is possible that stress can be a participating cause if you are genetically prone. I would […]
