Alopecia - Women Pattern Baldness - By: Andrew Adler, Posted on: 2008-06-20

Alopecia is an autoimmune disease. That is to say, this is a disease in which the immune system of the body dysfunctions and attacks the parts of the body only, instead of protecting it from outside diseases. In case of alopecia, the attack is on hair. In a few cases, the patient can lose the entire hair on his/her head. Psychological stress and genetic factors are some of the factors that may lead to alopecia. Though, hair loss is a common thing among both sexes, it is more traumatic for a woman than a man. This is because the society considers hair as a sign of womenâ€™s beauty. Fortunately, most of the hair loss problems in women can be treated. In women, hair loss can be because of heredity, medication use and hormonal changes.

Hair loss in women is also of different kinds. One of them is women pattern alopecia. This refers to the reduction in the thickness or texture of hair on the scalp. A few women may suffer from hair loss at the back or on sides of scalp; others may suffer from overall thinning. Besides Androgenetic alopecia, which is mainly related to male baldness, there are many other causes that lead to hair loss in women.

Alopecia is of two types â€“ alopecia areata and alopecia universalis. The former refers to the loss of hair from the scalp, while the latter one refers to the loss of hair from the entire body. The main causes of alopecia areata are genetic factors and diseases such as hay fever, asthma, atopic eczema and immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo, diabetes, thyroid disease, lupus erythematosus, pernicious anaemia and many others. In case of Androgenetic alopecia, this condition in women is mainly due to the production of DHT.
