Hormone is a natural substances produced by the glands which are spread in human’s body. It has an important function in every physical and emotional activity taken place in our body. It is released to the bloodstreams and delivered to receptor cells. The primary hormones of woman and man are absolutely different. Testosterone is the man’s hormone which determines the masculinity, while the woman’s hormone is known as estrogen.
Everything will be fine and run well if the amount of the hormones is normal, but in particular condition it will bring bad effects to our body, such as hair fall. Yes, the imbalance amounts of hormones and hair loss have a tight correlation. In the man case, the raise of testosterone may increase the level of hair loss. How can it happen? Testosterone is converted into DHT (DiHydrotestosterone), and it is proven that this DHT is the main cause of the hair loss in man.
In woman, the
amount of estrogen hormones may also affects the natural growth cycle of hair. Its number will be imbalance during the pregnancy, c
hildbirth, pre-menopause, and menopause. The fluctuate levels of hormones and hair loss go along together in those periods. In the pregnancy period, the level of estrogen raises drastically, so that the hair grows faster. It disturbs the hair natural cycle. Then, when the childbirth time comes, its level decreases. It extends the resting phase of the hair follicles. This is what causes hair loss. This temporary hair loss will stop along with
the increasing of estrogen to the normal level. It will take about three months after the childbirth. The level of estrogen will also decrease significantly in the pre-menopause and menopause period. It will force the hair follicle to prolong its resting period as well, so that hair loss cannot be avoided. Besides, the other outside factors that may also affect the level of hormones and hair loss are birth control pill consumption and hormones therapy.
Since this kind of hair loss will stop after the number of hormones back to normal, you do not need special treatment to cope with this.
