Who ever dreamed of going bald? It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, hair loss is a problem that concerns everyone and it does not depend on the gender. Women are more obviously worried, but men worry also, they just have difficulty recognizing it.
Hair loss is a condition that may affect the social activity of someone. Studies show that some women even left their jobs when they found out they were going bald for some reason. Men are less concerned, but this can also affect them psychologically, especially if they are the only bald man in their inner circle.
In spite of that, some women are especially attracted by bald men and this has even changed the way some dating agencies promote the date among their members. Some have created a section only for bald men, where women can find the one they like.
However, hair loss is still a concern.
Causes of hair loss
Many factors are considered to be the cause of hair loss. The most important thing to keep in mind is that people experience hair loss due to different causes. In some cases, we have an isolated factor as the cause and in other situations we have a combination of factors.
Some of the factors are:
- Hereditary predisposition
- Prescribed drugs therapies
- Skin disorders
- Severe stress
- Pregnancy
- Bacterial infections

- Chemotherapy
- Excessive androgen production
In addition to that, specialists state that women can experience hair loss due to the menopause. During his period, women go through a phase in which the production of hormones is decreased, which can affect the whole female body.
Another thing that doctors advise as a good habit is to keep healthy daily habits, including a healthy diet and physical exercise, which help to decrease the levels of stress.
