Women suffer from balding more rarely. It is rather an effect of protective activity of feminine hormones, namely oestrogen. Hence, alopecia most often refers to women after the period of menopause. However, it rarely leads to such hair loss as in the case of men. Women usually suffer from thinning out hair of various intensity in the central region of head with no hair loss in the forehead region.
Also younger women call for this type of surgical treatment. The most frequent reason of their visit in the clinic is too high forehead hairline. The reasons of this state can be found in genetics. A surgical treatment becomes then the only effective method of correcting this defect.
Female hair loss can be also the very first symptom of hormonal irregularities or even serious diseases of exocrine glands. Therefore, this problem should not be underestimated and all female patients should be directed to an endocrinologist. The most frequent diseases resulting in falling of hair are the following: thyroid gland disorders (hyperactivity or hypo activity), adrenal glands, pituitary gland and ovaries diseases. Only those female patients in case of whom the above-mentioned diseases were excluded can be treated surgically.
