•Family history of male or female pattern baldness
Hair loss can occur in women for reasons other than female pattern baldness, including the following:
•Hormonal abnormalities, such as too much testosterone, or too much or too little thyroid hormone
•Iron deficiency
•Medications such as chemotherapy and beta blockers
•Vitamin deficiency (such as biotin)

I take Avodart (Dutasteride) 0.5 mg tabs twice a week for the past 6 months. I lowered the dose when I developed gynecomastia (breast tissue). Avodart has a long half life. Will it still work to help my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? I have been taking Avodart for 5 years and it has been very helpful.
Hello sir, I am a female 33 years old(this week) and experiencing hair loss. I've never had to deal with hairloss issues and have always had thick black hair. It all started last winter with dandruff that I ignored(didnot use any antidandruff shampoos and was washing hair once a week) that turned into snow tons of dandruff and I continued to ignore it for about 4 monts (from Jan to April) During the month of March, I lost 4.5 lbs, and had a major certification exam in April, which I passed.
hi, I'm a 19 year old female and for the past 3 years I've noticed I been losing large quantities of hair on a daily basis.. I'm down to half the amount of hair I used to have and I am not quite sure what it is that is causing it and how I can keep it from happening.
ve been hypo for almost two years and never lost a hair. Stress can cause hair loss as well as vitamin defiecency. Please try not to worry. We all have very different symptoms. I will say that my outer eyebrows are gone but have been gone for years. My sister said when her levels got better her eyebrows grew back. This is a process however don't focus on any issues that might take place. There is something called mind body connection.
But then multivitamins contain very little iron.Iron is in two areas one in blood other is stored.
Hello 2 months ago I had protected sex with a female partner with her sexual health status unknown. I am a 24 year old male. I am still terrified that I will have a recurrent mild outbreak. After possible exposure I didn't have any symptoms of an outbreak. So my question is. Is it possible to have an asymptomatic primary outbreak and then have a recurrent outbreak with lessons and prodrome? I have a female partner in a monogamous relationship and I don't want to infect her.
If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.
Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones.
I am a young female with PCOS. The initial complaint that I brought to my doctor was experiencing hair growth on my face, excess hair growth on my arms/legs/bikini, and hair loss on my head. I've since begun laser hair removal on my face and arms, but I am about 4 treatments in (24 wks) and am not noticing results. It is becoming more and more difficult to hold my head high- many days I don't even want to be seen in public.
Hello, I have been having severe hair loss for quite some time and had basically given up and accepted it’s just female pattern alopecia (even though it is not in my familial genes)....until recently. I was recently found to have a B12 level of 236. From what I have read even though that is considered within normal ranges, anything from 200-400 is low and can cause symptoms. I was placed on OTC supplements.
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist for this as it is important to rule out all the causes of hair loss and reach a confirmatoty diagnosis.Treatment is specific for that diagnosis.Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
I am a 55 year old female with loss of hair on her forearms and eyebrows. I have a some thinning at the temples. My TSH is 2.570 - which my GP says is normal. He thinks hair loss may be a result of stress, however, I have not been under any more stress than normal life. I have had high cholesterol and osteoporosis for many years, which have not responded to meds. What do you think? Can you have a normal TSH and still have a thyroid issue?
He looked at my scalp and told me, after listening to my hair loss history, that it seemed to be early onset female pattern hair loss. He told me to use Rogaine, come back in two weeks for testing to rule out other causes (although he as quite certain it was female pattern hair loss).
I came back for testing and he found that my ferritin levels were 12. He told me that your levels need to be between 50 and 70 to maintain healthy hair growth.
first of all- did you check her for tinea capitis? (a fungal infection of the scalp, with round patches of hair loss, breaking of hair, and scaling?) it is easy to treat !
if it is not this and dermatologist did not find the answer, a biopsy of the scalp is reasonable.
connection between hair loss and bowel movement- maybe some nutrient deficiency- vitamins, iron, celiac disease, a pediatric dermatologist might help.
I'm 68 years old and have had Cataracts for over 2 years. I've been taking Avodart for over a year. Should I stop taking Avodart and wait awhile before cataract surgery or will the informed Dr be able to work with my eyes? I've never taken Flomax and have heard the warnings from the commercial and read about Flomax. I'm concerned about any complications.
I'm also pretty active. Can I still swim after surgery and what are the chances of the lens shifting or coming loose?
