Hormonal Hair Loss: Causes & Recovery

What Is Hormonal Hair Loss?

Hormonal hair loss refers to the visible loss and thinning of hair due to hormonal imbalances in your body. Contrary to popular belief, hormones and hair loss are highly interconnected, because they don't only cause hair loss! Hormones have a great effect on hair growth.

Among the hormones that nourish hair follicles; androgens are a group of hormones that act directly on hair follicles. Androgen hormones can change the shape, size, and lifespan of hair follicles. When hormones such as androgens are out of balance, hair follicles are weakened and you may experience problems such as hair loss or hair thinning. Medical conditions related to hormonal hair loss include:

Hormones that Cause Hair Loss

There are many hormones that affect body health. Among these, there are some hormones that especially affect hair health. Hormones that cause hair loss in men and hair loss in women:

Dihidrotestosteron (DHT)

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone produced by both men and women, is at the heart of hormonal hair thinning. You can think of it as a stronger form of the hormone testosterone. Too much DHT in your body can lead to shrinking hair follicles and a shortened hair growth cycle, resulting in hair loss and weaker strands.

Thyroid 

Thyroid dysfunction and slow thyroid function can disrupt the hair growth cycle. Due to under/over-functioning of the thyroid gland at the expected level; you may experience loss of the entire scalp, hair thinning, and hair lifelessness. After treatment of thyroid disorder, normal hair growth returns, but in this case, the hair growth cycle needs to be monitored as the growth cycle of each follicle is different.

Cortisol 

Cortisol is the hormone our body produces to protect itself against stress. Cortisol levels rise when we feel stressed, worried, anxious, or scared. Hair loss is especially common when faced with prolonged sudden stress and sadness.

Estrogen 

The hormone estrogen is directly related to hair growth and hair loss. This is because estrogen is the opposite of testosterone in terms of nourishing hair follicles and stimulating their growth. For example, many women have thick hair during pregnancy because this is when estrogen levels are highest. At the same time, hair begins to thin in old age due to menopause.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

Effective Thinning-Hair Treatment Options

Since hormonal hair loss treatment is centered on restoring hormonal balance, many approaches are used for hair thinning treatment. How to stop hormonal hair loss? Here are some approaches that may answer your question:

Hormone Therapy

It is used as a treatment for hair loss in women due to hormonal changes, especially after childbirth and during menopause. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), designed to balance hormone levels, is used to reduce hair loss and new hair growth.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to artificially raise hormone levels that have naturally decreased in the body. As this treatment is not suitable for everyone, we will need to perform a number of blood tests and review your medical history to determine the right approach for your hair thinning problem.

Meditations 

Many FDA-approved drugs are used in the treatment of hormonal hair loss. You should contact our doctors to find out which of these medications you will use. Some medications used in hair loss treatment are used to break or block the effect of DHT on hair follicles.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

Using the healing power of your body to stimulate new hair growth, Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy is one of the most effective solutions! PRP treatment involves taking a small amount of your blood and injecting the appropriate plasma into the scalp. The platelets injected into the scalp help hair growth by extending the hair cycle. It is the most applied and preferred treatment method for non-surgical hair transplantation.

Lifestyle

Apart from the treatments we recommend for thinning hair, it is most important to lead a healthy lifestyle. Regardless of whether you choose hair transplantation or medication, you should support your lifestyle with your treatment process. Among these are definitely:

You should improve yourself in areas such as exercise. For example, regular exercise will increase blood flow to the scalp, which will help hair growth and keep your hormone levels in balance.

A healthy and balanced diet will also keep hormone levels in normal flow. Remember that there are many hormones that nourish our body! To nourish these hormones, you should consume the nutrients the body needs.

Finally, we have explained the value of stress management in the area of cortisol. To prevent imbalance of the cortisol hormone and hair loss, you must protect your psychological health.
