Hair Loss in Women
Women also suffer from baldness. Some have the same male pattern baldness but most show a diffused pattern.The hair loss in women is at times genetic when it takes the form of male pattern baldness.
Traction loss of hair line is a very common cause in many societies where tying back the hair leads to a constant traction and loss of hair line.
Different chemicals when used lead to constant breakage of the hair.
Post pregnancy loss is a very common reason.
But the most important of all the reasons is the loss due to hormonal disturbance.
The female as compared to male goes through a more severe psychological trauma due to baldness.
The transplant in a female should be the last resort of management. We carefully check the history for the genetic pattern of hair
loss, the medical problems, and the history of hair treatments.
Mainly women suffer a hair loss due to hormonal imbalance. These patients are medically managed for hormonal imbalance. If the hormonal management is not possible or has led to too severe a hair loss hair transplant is offered.

Their result is late,
They may undergo an area of complete temporary hair loss around the transplanted region.
The transplant is for a limited time of 10 to 15 years.
