Sudden severe hair loss in women

Sudden severe hair loss in women

An anxious look at the full hairbrush, a clogged shower drain and hair on the floor all the time - sudden severe hair loss in women is not uncommon and a serious problem for all women affected by it. Causes of sudden severe hair loss in a woman are often well-known symptoms such as stress or menopause, which lead to a weakened immune system or fluctuations in hormones. If left untreated, severe hair loss can cause a lot of suffering, especially in women who value full and long hair. Fortunately, there are some clinically tested ways to boost hair growth during times of severe hair loss. It is important that if you are a woman suffering from severe hair loss, something is done to reduce rather than exacerbate the problem in the long run, and to regain healthy hair as soon as possible.

Symptoms of severe hair loss

Mild hair loss is quite normal and occurs in almost all people. Normally, a woman loses about 100 hairs a day. This may sound like a lot, but since there are up to 150,000 hair follicles on the scalp, this is perfectly normal and a natural part of every hair cycle. However, if this number is significantly exceeded, the hair feels thinner and perhaps even bald patches appear, then you are probably suffering from sudden severe hair loss. It is then important to take the symptoms seriously and start treatment to regain healthy hair as soon as possible.

Causes of sudden severe hair loss as a woman

The causes of sudden severe hair loss in a woman are complex and not always immediately obvious. It is a reaction of the body to a change or deficiency that is not always immediately recognised, even during a visit to the doctor. The most common cause of sudden severe hair loss is menopause. During menopause, major changes take place in the female body that cause sharp fluctuations in hormone levels. Oestrogen levels have a direct impact on the hair root, so fluctuations in oestrogen levels both during menopause and in hormonal diseases quickly manifest themselves in the form of severe hair loss. Consequently, almost a third of women suffer from hair loss. In most cases, however, hair loss is not that severe and involves only a few hairs. Another common cause of sudden severe hair loss is stress. Stress not only weakens the immune system, but also inhibits hair growth when the stress hormone cortisol is released and increased nerve fibres form around individual hair follicles. When the body is attacked by stress, it sometimes responds with increased hair loss.

Other causes of sudden severe hair loss in a woman include:

  • Hair loss due to vitamin deficiencies
  • Hair loss due to side effects of medications (e.g. contraceptive pill)
  • Hair loss due to autoimmune diseases
  • Hair loss due to infections or as a result of a weakened immune system
  • Hair loss due to lack of sleep
  • Hair loss due to crash diets or severe weight loss
  • Hair loss due to thyroid disorders
  • Hair loss due to chronic diseases
  • Hair loss due to child birth
