Hair loss or thinning,
head, pubic, or whole body; increase in facial hair
The most prevalent type of hair loss among women is female pattern thinning, known medically as Androgenetic Alopecia (genetic, diffuse hair loss). But there are many other reasons for women’s hair loss, including menopause-related hormonal imbalances, postpartum/ stress-related shedding, chemotherapy, and Alopecia Areata (spotty hair loss). Some hair loss is actually self-induced: The use of harsh chemical relaxers (Scarring Alopecia), or tight hair braiding (Traction Alopecia) can permanently damage the hair follicle. Some prescription drugs also induce hair
loss. In addition, between 4 million and 8 million women in America have
varying degrees of trichotillomania (chronic hair pulling), an obsessive-compulsive
disorder that can cause permanent damage to the hair follicle.
Progesterone cream can help restore a woman's hormone levels back to the proper levels, effectively reducing the amount of facial hair. How does is work? When women are experiencing excessive or estrogen dominant symptoms such as fatigue, sleeplessness, hot flashes, irrability, and weight gain they may simultaneously be experiencing an increase in testosterone. The natural progesterone cream is effective at restoring the balance of natural progesterone levels and opposing estrogen dominance effects such as facial hair growth. Nearly 10 percent of adult women have noticeable
facial hair, and what to do for it depends on what's causing it.
For others, it comes from an overproduction of male hormones. Compared with men, women's production of male hormones is small, but it can exceed the normal limit. This condition can be pretty well diagnosed by having a blood test that measures the male hormone level. In menopause the production of estrogen wanes, so the balance between female and male hormones tips in favor of male hormones. Facial hair is often the result. As for treatments, eliminating the cause
eliminates facial hair. When no treatable cause is found, a number of possibilities
exist. Vaniqa is a cream that retards hair growth. The birth control
pill can do the same. Spironolactone, a diuretic, has properties that diminish
the action of male hormone on facial hair growth.
