and if it does happen (loose skin of the pussi -sorry to say it but its only to explain, please execuse me - ) what are the other factors that cause it? is it like age? or the type of genes ? or what?Can massive weight loss (100pounds,48kg) cause loose labia (and the skin where pubic hair grows) in females?
Yes, weight loss can cause it - it contains fat just like the rest of your body. Also age as well as child birth can change it.
There are surgical (cosmetic) procedures that can be done to correct it.Can massive weight loss (100pounds,48kg) cause loose labia (and the skin where pubic hair grows) in females?
I think age has a great deal to do with the elasticity retention of the skin.
Yes. That area gains fat when we're obese and then becomes deflated, so to speak, after massive weight loss.
Age is also a factor especially for people who have been overweight most of their lives. They've never seen their ';aging'; body, all they know is skin stretched tight from fat.
Congrats on your weight loss! You've been a big favor for your health, even if there are a couple disappointments.
You might enjoy reading the Success Stories at Kimkins. Even though you've already lost weight, it's still motivating to hear how others did it. They're regular people, just like you.

Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?
I'm confused. On the internet, whilst doing some research i read that DHT also occurs in women. I thought only men experienced this. Is this the root of what causes hair loss ? is DHT always present and always the reason why someone will lose their hair?
this is an article i found
';DHT develops when testosterone is combined with ';5-alpha reductase';, an enzyme that is produced by the hair follicles. The mixture of the already-present testosterone and the new enzyme cause the hair follicles to begin shrinking. The Di-hydrostestosterone, or DHT, remains present on the scalp, causing the hair follicles to shrink more and more. Eventually, the follicles are unable to continue producing hair';

If this is the case then is a dht blocker able to prevent hair loss for life if used continuously? I'm a 22 year old female experiencing hair loss which has not resolved itself after the delivery of my son 2 years ago. Can i get a recommendation of a Natural and fairly cheap DHT blocker i can use to grow my hair and prevent future hair loss?Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?
The paragraph you quoted primarily refers to men. It also applies to women approaching their menopause.
women are more likely to suffer from thyroid problems,hair loss caused by birth control pills and stress induced hair loss.Especially if they are as young as you. these may ultimately lead to increased DHT but that does not mean DHT itself is the cause of your hair loss.
That article you linked to is misleading and playing with words. women do not lose hair in the same way as men and are more than likely to suffer from diffused hair loss, that is thinning all over the head. DHT is Not the main cause of hair loss in women.But that article says the main cause of baldness in women.How many women go bald? Anyway that whole article is a sales pitch aimed at a product so I would not pay too much attention to it..
I would work on finding the root cause of your hair loss.It could be a number of things.sometimes you can be under lots of stress without even knowing it.
you may be suffering from Telogen Effluvium which can be triggered by childbirth and can take long a time to clear up. Sometimes years.
Most hair loss supplements with DHT blockers are only for men.The only one that I know of that is for women and does actually work is provillus.
P.S DHT tests in women are inconclusive and not very reliable. The reason is because of the very low levels of DHT compared to men. Tests carried out on women can and do report DHT as being normal even though it is causing hair loss.Is DHT (dihydrotestosterone) , the actual cause of hair loss in both male and females?
There are many reasons for hair loss including hormone imbalance, stress etc....
it would probably be better to go to the doctor so they can determine the cause.I think they can do test whether DHT is the cause nowadays?

What can cause hair loss for a 23 yo female?
Alopecia.What can cause hair loss for a 23 yo female?
stress chemicals vitamin lots of stuffWhat can cause hair loss for a 23 yo female?
thyroid problems, anemia, alopecia, stress
eating too much sugar based food can cause hair loss. too much sugar make the body acidic. the the pH is changed, the the hormone is changed. that is why her hair is loosing. plz avoid eating sugar food. i am telling from my own experience.
alkaline based food will strengthen the root of the hair.
It can be a number of things.. Stress is one of them. I have very thick curly hair and when I'm under a lot of stress It does come out by the handfuls. You could have a related illness that is causing it to come out.
Best thing is to call your doctor and have them check it out.
tention
medications. a double dose of bladness from both sides of the family. STRESS. lack of good nutriention
Stress, change in lifestyle, eating habits, or weather. It's better if you visit a doctor people on line would not have an answer. Good Luck!
Are you losing a lot of hair and seeing a noticable thinning in the remaining hair or are you seeing a lot in the hair brush, on the floor, come out in the shower.
If you have noticed thinning it is probably genetic or malnutrition. Go see a doctor.
If you've just seen a lot of hair who knows what it could be. I've lost a lot of hair but have not seen any type of thinning or baldness, my hair actually seems to have gotten thicker and healthier.
birth control pills
Not getting enough Vitamins you need to get extra vitamin b12. Or depending on what products you are using they can cause buildup. Try using Nixon for hair loss and hair thinking you can get it at hair salons but first to save money try getting extra vitamins such as b12 or vitamin C cause them are the main things if they still do not work go into your doctor and ask him to check for la petcha. Its a hair loss deficiency having to do with your vitamins and they will recommend something to you but my sister had the same problem when she was like 10 and a friend of mine had it to. In case your wondering i am in beauty college and we study alot of this stuff.mineral foundation

Has any female had unexplained hair loss and figured out what what causing it?
I know the obvious thyroid and lupus...any one had any other explainations?Has any female had unexplained hair loss and figured out what what causing it?
I started having hair loss in January and I had no idea why. I went to my dermatologist and was diagnosed with telogen effluvium which, in short, is when there it a shock or persistant stressor that causes your hair follicules to go into the resting stage so you notice a huge shed. The bright side: it's a diffuse thinning so there are no bald spots but it will look thinner in some places than others, you won't go completely bald ((lose about 70% of your hair)) and even though that sounds like a lot, no one will notice but you. Also, it is completely reversable and not permanent. There are many causes of TE including: hormonal changes ((birth, starting or stopping birth control..mine was from stopping the pill)), stress, excessive weight loss, aftermath of a surgery or dental procedure, along with many other reasons. The hair loss usually starts about 3 months after the cause is removed. Once whatever is causing the fall out is present is out of your system, the hair will stop falling out and start the regrowth process.
My suggestions:
1. See a dermatologist to get the hair loss checked out. It could be something completely different as there are many types of hair loss.
2. Take a high does of Biotin ((5000 mcg)). Depending on the type of hair loss, this is said to kick start hair regrowth. It could take a while to work but it will help your hair grow back healthy. This is found in most vitamin sections and is pretty inexpensive.
3. Until the hair grows back, look for a line called Nioxin ((found in speciality stores such as Sally's, Trade Secret or Master Cuts or it can be ordered offline)). It won't make your hair regrow and it won't make it thicker but it will make you and others perceive it's thicker ((9/10 can see a difference)). The stuff in the stores will only make it worse
I hope this helped. This is the only kind of unexplained hair loss I can think of. Good luck!Has any female had unexplained hair loss and figured out what what causing it?
Hair loss can occur for various reasons. Mostly this happens for men compared to women for various harmones. There are lot of clinically proven techniques. They are by minoxidil, finasteride, corticosteroids, antralin. Read more about the treatment in http://hair-loss.healthcare2u.net
this website pretty much gives all the reasons i could think of...and more
sometimes stress can lead to hair loss plus genetics is usually a part of it
i used to have it, with me it was stress.

Does low hormone birth control cause hair loss in females?
I suppose it's possible.
I took the low-dose hormone pills for seven years and they did not have that effect on me.
Ask your doctor about it.Does low hormone birth control cause hair loss in females?
I have heard that it can but it has to be very low for a very long time for that to happen.

What could be the cause of female hair loss that is most pronounced on the nape of the neck?
I am a 21 year old female. Until recently I had a very thick head of hair.
I started to notice that I was losing more hair than normal this summer but I wasn't too worried since it didn't seem to be getting any thinner.
Then about 3 weeks ago, my hair loss increased to the point where it was indisputably abnormal. And it has continued to fall as much every day since. My hair is now visibly thinner. My ponytail is about half the thickness it used to be.
At first it seemed as though the hair loss was diffuse but now that my hair has thinned considerably, I've noticed that it is NOT diffuse and is coming from certain areas in particular:
1. my hair line (my bangs are so thin, they're nearly gone)
2. **especially the nape of my neck (you know when men's hair starts to recede at the temples? that's what the nape of my neck looks like now)
and the thinning is more pronounced on the right side in both cases.
I consulted 2 different doctors, but neither found anything abnormal in my blood work and didn't seem too eager to help me.
What could be causing my hair loss and is it reversible?
Also, as background information, I have no illnesses and I do not take any medication (including birth control), nor have I ever had any severe illnesses and the last pills I took were antibiotics about a year ago. All the men in my family are bald but none of the women are. The only travelling I've done in the last year is to Italy.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
My hair loss is progressing rapidly and I could use some answers so that I can take the necessary steps to stop it and hopefully reverse it.
Help!What could be the cause of female hair loss that is most pronounced on the nape of the neck?
Could be stress. My friend started losing hair when she was having problems with her boyfriend, but she didn't lose as much as you have, she only lost a patch of it near her temple. There's a name for it, but I forget what it is. I'd keep going to different doctors until one is more eager to help you!
