What is female alopecia?

It is a medical term that describes hair loss in women, a phenomenon that can have various causes and that we see in our daily lives with different manifestations. Unlike male alopecia, which tends to present in a specific pattern of baldness, such as the well-known “receding hairlines” or loss on the top of the head, female alopecia can be more variable in its presentation.

Causes of female alopecia can include genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, stress, autoimmune diseases, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes related to pregnancy or menopause, the use of certain medications, medical treatments such as chemotherapy, and hair care practices that can damage hair follicles, such as excessive use of heat or harsh chemicals.

Psychological Effects of Alopecia in Women:

  1. Anxiety
  2. Depression
  3. Shame
  4. Low self-esteem
  5. Social isolation
  6. Feelings of inferiority
  7. Feeling of loss of femininity
  8. Interpersonal relationship problems
  9. Feelings of generalized discomfort
  10. Changes in the perception of one’s own image
  11. Difficulties in relating intimately or with a partner

Types of Alopecia in Women

Androgenic Alopecia in Women:

Also known as female pattern baldness, it is a form of hair loss that is characterized by a gradual decrease in hair volume and density, mainly on the top and front of the scalp. It is influenced by genetic and hormonal factors, particularly the sensitivity of hair follicles to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Alopecia Areata:

It is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in sudden loss and patching of hair on the scalp or other areas of the body. It can occur in intermittent episodes and can range in severity from small hairless areas to complete hair loss on the scalp (alopecia totalis) or all over the body (alopecia universalis).

Alopecia Cicatricial:

It occurs when hair follicles are destroyed and replaced by scar tissue. Caused by autoimmune diseases, infections, burns, trauma, or inflammatory skin disorders. Unlike other types of alopecia, scarring alopecia can be irreversible and lead to permanent hair loss in the affected areas.

Diffuse alopecia:

Unlike androgenic alopecia, which usually affects specific areas, diffuse alopecia results in a decrease in hair volume and density throughout the scalp. It can be caused by factors such as stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, medical illnesses, or certain medications.

Traction Alopecia:

It is caused by the constant application of tension or traction to the hair follicles, which can lead to thinning and eventual hair loss. This form of alopecia is commonly seen in women who wear tight hairstyles, braids, extensions, or any style that puts excessive pressure on the hair. This type of alopecia is also common in women who suffer from anxiety and unconsciously pull/pull the hair fiber breaking it from the surface of the scalp.
