Hormonal Hair Loss (I)
Although there are many known causes of premature hair fall or temporary hormonal changes are the most common cause of this disease in women. Fortunately, hormonal imbalances that can cause this type of hair loss are usually temporary and easily treated.
The hormones that are found in the body to normal levels are responsible for the growth, operation and maintenance of many organs and systems.Some hormones regulate body temperature, while others are responsible for brain activity. The male hormone testosterone, present in both males and females, is responsible for the proper functioning of the reproductive organs. This is the hormone that is believed to be more closely linked to hair loss.
When changes testosterone into DHT in the body (another type of hormone) through an enzyme hair loss can occur. This new enzyme binds to the cells of hair follicles in the special receptors and decreases the stages of hair growth and rest phases increases. During a period of time, this can lead to poor growth, hair loss, and ultimately, baldness.
When testosterone, or DHT product is not the cause of hair loss, other hormonal changes may be the culprit. Changes in estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormones can also lead to hair loss.
