How Hormones Affect Female Hair Loss

How Hormones Affect Female Hair Loss

Make no mistake, female hair loss is common.  The idea that only men experience baldness or hair thinning is a myth. Many are unaware of how hormones affect hair loss for women.

To provide medical insights along with our hair restoration services, our Florida physicians at Weight Success Centers™ and the experts at Tampa Aesthetics are explaining possible factors involved in hair loss.

Hormonal Changes and Potential Causes of Hair Loss

At some point in life, approximately 50 percent of adult women will experience hair loss. In addition to age-related hormonal changes, there are many other causes for female hair loss.  Genetics, medical conditions, acute stress, and nutritional deficiencies are all on the list of potential causes.

 

Medical exams and tests are necessary for diagnosing hormonal changes, alopecia, and other conditions pushing hair follicles into a state of rest.  Something as simple as not getting enough protein or lacking essential nutrients could be contributing to hair loss.   For example, A and B Vitamins, Biotin, Zinc, Iron, and Omega-3 fatty acids are all important in growing scalp hair.

 

As for hormonal changes, the fluctuations during menopause and perimenopause may trigger hair loss or hair thinning. If a decrease in estrogen and progesterone is the issue, doctor-prescribed supplements and natural hormone therapies combined with nutritional plans may be helpful in restoring balance.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy and BioTE Pellets for Women

Across Florida, Weight Success Centers™ serve as certified providers of BioTE, a subcutaneous pellet type of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHT) for women and men.  Patients have found BioTE pellets to be helpful for combatting an array of hormone-related symptoms, including female hair loss resulting from hormonal fluctuations.

 

Unlike synthetic hormone replacements, natural BioTE pellets are identical to the hormones produced by the human body.  The physicians at Weight Success Centers™ can answer all your questions about administering hormone therapies and other options for restoring hormone balance.
