The Nature of Androgenetic Alopecia

By: Cherry Bonachita

The most common form of hair loss in women not only in London but worldwide is called Androgenetic Alopecia or simply called Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL).

Healthy hair only shed about 100-125 hairs per day. When loss of hair is more than this norm, it may then be termed as Female Pattern Hair Loss. This condition may start as early as the teenage years but is usually seen after menopause. The affected hairs that are shed from the roots then grow back but are then shorter and weaker.

Mild Female Pattern Hair Loss is hereditarily connected and may be genetically inherited from either side of the family. This state may be controlled by using hair replacements, scalp makeup or hair styling.

Treatment of acute Female Pattern Hair Loss may be very difficult because of its psychological effects on the person experiencing such. Many women consider hair replacement options that are available in the market today.

There are also standard medical treatments for Androgenetic Alopecia or Female Pattern Hair Loss such as:

» Minoxidil - this is a topical lotion usually used to alleviate hair loss while promoting hair growth. Lower strength of this solution may be purchased over the counter while lotions with higher than 5% solutions must be prescribed by the doctor.

» Spironolactone - this is an oral medication that is used to stabilize and improve hair growth.

» Anti-androgens - some medication called Dianette has some promising results in slowing down the effects of Female Pattern Hair Loss.

The above medications however may be required to be taken continually because it is known that when stopped, the Female Pattern Hair Loss cycle starts again.
