Will seborrheic alopecia cause hair loss in women?

Generally speaking, the incidence of male hair loss is much higher than that of female hair loss. Male hair loss is more common in "Baltic" or total baldness, while women rarely have such a situation. However, there are still many female hair loss patients who worry that they will become bald. After all, will female seborrheic alopecia take off all their clothes if it is not treated? Will female seborrheic alopecia cause all their hair to fall out?

1. Will all the hair fall out if a woman has seborrheic alopecia?

Seborrheic alopecia is also known as androgenic alopecia. The proportion of men suffering from seborrheic alopecia is much higher than that of women, but women also have male hormones in their bodies. If the secretion of male hormones is excessive, they may also suffer from seborrheic alopecia. Most men who are bald in daily life begin to lose hair during puberty and continue to do so until middle age, while this phenomenon rarely occurs in women, and most patients will not reach the stage of complete baldness. The main manifestation of female hair loss is diffuse, with overall thinning of hair, which is more obvious on the head and forehead. The degree of hair loss is lighter than that of men, and all hair will not fall out.

2. How to treat seborrheic alopecia in women

Female seborrheic alopecia is the same as male seborrheic alopecia. Early detection and early treatment are needed to avoid missing the best treatment time and making the hair loss more serious. When the degree of hair loss is mild, women can take medication and apply minoxidil externally to promote hair growth. When the hair loss is severe, it can be treated by hair transplantation. During treatment, patients should maintain a stable lifestyle, avoid staying up late, smoking, eating less spicy and greasy foods, and relieve stress in time.

When you feel that you have hair loss, Xiufajun recommends that you see a doctor's dermatologist for an examination first, identify the type of hair loss, and carry out appropriate treatment according to the doctor's instructions. Do not blindly take medicine on your own.
