Hormonal balance and its influence on women’s hair

How hormones affect the hair cycle in women and what you can do about it.

Hair loss in women due to hormones

Hair loss in women due to hormones is not uncommon. If there is a hormonal imbalance or fluctuations, this can lead to significant hair loss. This is more common during the menopause, during puberty or after pregnancy. Taking or stopping the contraceptive pill can also promote alopecia. This is often associated with hereditary factors. In order to find an effective treatment, it is crucial that you consult a dermatologist or gynecologist at the first signs.

Hormonal hair loss in women after pregnancy

Hormonal fluctuations are one of the most common causes of hair loss in women. This is particularly noticeable after pregnancy. Many new moms assume that the increased hair loss is related to breastfeeding. In fact, this is due to a drop in oestrogen levels that occurs during breastfeeding. From a scientific point of view, so-called “pregnancy hair loss” is a form of diffuse hair loss in which the hair thins out evenly across the head.

Hair loss in women due to hormones: the contraceptive pill as a cause

Most contraceptive pills contain oestrogen. When women stop taking the pill, there is a sudden drop in oestrogen levels, which leads to increased hair loss. In some people, hair loss is also caused by taking the pill. In both cases, the phenomenon is due to the change in hormone levels. Over time, it should regulate itself so that the alopecia disappears on its own. In addition, you should care for your scalp and hair with highly effective active ingredients such as Azerum to stimulate the growth phase.

Hair loss during the menopause

Hormonal hair loss is more common during the menopause. This is caused by a drop in oestrogen levels. As a result, hair becomes thinner and falls out more frequently. However, a hormonal imbalance is not always the real cause. Hormonal hair loss is often hereditary. In this case, the hair roots react hypersensitively to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Hereditary alopecia occurs in women from the age of 40. The most common symptom is increased hair loss in the crown area

Hormonal hair loss in women due to PCO syndrome

If hair loss occurs in young women, this is often due to a hormonal disorder. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO syndrome) is widespread. It is characterized by symptoms such as: moderate obesity irregular or absent menstruation acne oily skin infertility dark skin discoloration in various places hair growth on the stomach, chin, thighs, back, chest and cheeks In addition, hair loss is similar to that of men. This results in a receding hairline and, in the worst case, baldness. The cause of very severe hair loss in women is an overproduction of male sex hormones. There is currently no cure for POC syndrome, but the symptoms can be alleviated with medication. Many doctors prescribe the contraceptive pill to curb hair loss caused by hormones in women. As these have an antiandrogenic effect, they reduce the influence of male sex hormones on the hair roots.
