– Patients who have contracted COVID-19 and therefore struggle with the problem of increased hair loss come to me more and more often. It even occurs several months after the end of the disease. This is because every infection, whether viral or bacterial, is a fight for the body that requires the effort of the entire immune system to fight the intruder – says Marta Węcławska, trichologist at the Sonokard Medical Center in Wrocław.

Hair falls out of power? The diagnosis of the trichologist is necessary

Alopecia is especially painful for women, as for them hair is a symbol of attractiveness and health. Therefore, in the case of hair loss, the correct diagnosis of a trichologist is essential, who will analyze the condition of the scalp, hair structure and determine the scale of the problem. This will allow you to choose the appropriate treatment.

There are several reasons for female baldness. One of them is the period after pregnancy. And although the high level of estrogen during nine months makes many women enjoy strong, thick, fast-growing and beautifully shiny hair during this period, about 3-4 months after giving birth, women start to lose their hair.

– Apart from the postpartum period, when the hormonal imbalance occurs, the time of breastfeeding a child has an impact on hair loss. However, this is a temporary state, and when the hormones recover, the problem disappears by itself. Hair grows back – emphasizes Marta Węcławska.

Thin and thinning hair

Another thing is alopecia in menopausal women when there is a sudden drop in estrogen levels. During this period, it is extremely important to properly care for your hair: use treatments that inhibit hair loss and not overburden your hair with excessive styling or coloring.

– Androgenetic alopecia in women can take place in two ways. In the first one, according to the male type, the hair is thinned in the area of ​​the forehead and the top of the head, then it is spread to the temporal area. In the female type, diffuse thinning covers the central part of the head and the hairline rises, explains Węcławska.

In order to diagnose androgenetic alopecia, a trichological examination is needed and the concentration of the hormones testosterone and estrogens is tested.

Unlike men, women have a much wider range of hair loss diseases.
