Medical Treatments for Hair Loss in Women

When looking for hair thinning treatment, women often find it difficult to seek help because hair loss in women tends to be a taboo subject.  Yet it can be very traumatic for women.  

When finding a cure for thinning hair, it is important to consider if it is pre-menopausal hair loss or post menopausal hair loss.  Hair loss before menopause is likely caused by low iron levels, hormonal imbalances, thyroid imbalances, illness, psychological conditions, or skin disorders.  After menopause, these same reasons can be present, but it is much more common to have thinning hair then because of hormonal imbalances.

A thinning hair treatment can be found through products, although it can be confusing and there may be many gimmicks out there.  Rogaine (Minoxidil) is the only FDA approved product for women.  Another thinning hair solution is surgical.  If you have a good donor area that is not shedding significantly, the surgeon can harvest donor hair and transplant it forward.
