Unwanted hair loss can be extremely frustrating, upsetting and even embarrassing. Although it\u2019s just a cosmetic change, society\u2019s stigma when it comes to women having long, beautiful hair can make hair loss difficult to accept. Hair loss in women is often associated with a change in hormones. There are several <\/span><\/span>hidden causes of hair loss in women that are often overlooked.<\/p>\n

Here are five hidden reasons for hair loss most women don\u2019t know:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

1. Female Pattern Hair Loss<\/h3>\n

One of the most common reasons that women suffer from hair loss is due to <\/span><\/span>female pattern hair loss. About one-third of all women are genetically exposed to it. It can happen anywhere from puberty to menopause, beginning with the gradual thinning of the hair. Female pattern hair loss is caused by a hormone known as dihydrotestosterone. An excess of the hormone, which is found in both men and women, can lead to hair loss.<\/p>\n

2. An Autoimmune Condition<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/span>An autoimmune condition known as <\/span><\/span>alopecia areata can cause hair loss. In people who suffer from the condition, the body\u2019s immune cells are prone to attacking one another. The condition causes patches of hair loss when the immune system attacks the hair follicles.<\/p>\n

3. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome<\/h3>\n

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is associated with a wide range of problems when it comes to women\u2019s health, including hair loss. PCOS is a condition that causes an imbalance in female hormones. The ovaries overproduce testosterone, which can cause women to grow excess body hair or lose hair.<\/p>\n

4. Medication<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>Hair loss can be a side effect of many different medications<\/span>, including antidepressants, beta-blockers and anti-inflammatory drugs. Changing medication can help stop or reverse hair loss in many situations.<\/p>\n

<\/span>5. Pregnancy<\/h3>\n

Hormones change tremendously during pregnancy. Women may experience hair loss during any stage of pregnancy<\/span>. For many women, hair loss occurs soon after the baby is born, due to more hormonal changes in the body.<\/p>\n
