Female Pattern Baldness

Female pattern baldness is a form of progressive hair loss in women, characterized by diffuse thinning, especially in the upper and central part of the scalp, without the frontal hairline usually receding.

Common causes: Hereditary factors, hormonal changes, and aging are involved; sometimes it is related to other health conditions that should be ruled out.

Frequent symptoms: Reduced hair volume, greater visibility of the scalp when combing, and gradual weakening of the strands.

Which specialist treats it? Dermatology is the indicated specialty for studying the health of the hair and scalp. If you notice striking or rapidly progressing loss, scheduling a dermatological evaluation helps identify the cause and guide care.
