Women with severe hair loss may have resting hair loss, androgenetic alopecia, etc. They can be treated with topical medication (e.g. Minoxidil), oral medication (e.g. spironolactone), etc.
1. Resting Alopecia: Normally about 10% of hair follicles are in resting phase, i.e. hair loss, when certain factors such as stress, post-partum, hormone level disorders, etc., can lead to an increase in resting hairs, resulting in hair loss. This disease can generally be self-cured, but due to malnutrition, thyroid function abnormalities caused by this disease, need to actively treat the original disease.
2. Androgenetic alopecia: thinning hair loss in the coronal region caused by increased androgen can be improved by oral spironolactone and topical minoxidil.
The above medications should be used under the guidance of a physician, and there are many causes of hair loss, so it is recommended to actively seek medical attention in the hospital to clarify the cause and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
