Vec dve godine mi opada kosa,i dosta se proredila,pogotovu u prednjem delu.
Probala sam sve preparate,kapsule,sampone,tablete,i nista mi nije pomoglo.
Uz to, boli me i koza glave,kao da me neko cupa,taj osecaj. I masti mi se kosa brzo. Lekari koje sam posecivala,na kraju mi,svi kazu jedno-stres!
I zaista se mnogo sekiram oko fakulteta,ali to ne mogu izbeci. Ali,da li mogu izbeci da postanem celava?!
Proveri hormone. Danas dosta zena ima probleme opadanja zbog povisenog testosterona ili osetljivosti folicula na DHT sto se zove AGA androgon alopecia. Tretman su obicno lekovi sto blokiraju DHT plus birth control pill.
AGA je cesto pracena i seborejom, koza glave boli, svrbi, ima peruti, masni se cesto, ponekad i ima odor.
Evo jedan clanak na eng kako tretiraju ovaj problem u USA.
What Causes Hair Loss in Women?
Common or "hereditary" baldness in women appears to be related to the same major factors that cause hair loss in men:
Genes
Hormones
Age
As is men, the genes that cause hair loss can be inherited from either your mother or father. The expression of these genes is dependent on hormones called androgens, so common hair loss in women is called "Androgenetic Alopecia" (the same term is used for common balding in men). There are a number of reasons to explain why hair loss in women presents differently than in men (although all of the factors are still not completely understood). Probably the most important reason is that men have a much higher level of the androgen testosterone. This is the hormone that is responsible for male sexual characteristics and, when the body converts it to DHT, it becomes the main culprit in causing baldness. Fortunately, the much lower levels of testosterone in women spare them from the extensive hair loss that is often seen in men.
Testosterone is converted to DHT by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that is present in higher concentrations in the balding areas of the scalp. Women have only ½ the amount of this enzyme overall as men and have even less in the crown. In addition, women have higher levels of an enzyme called aromatase in all areas of the scalp that may block the formation of DHT. This enzyme is present in especially high concentration in the frontal hairline in women, possibly explaining why this area is fortunately resistant to balding in most females.
With age some normal degree of hair loss occurs in everyone so that total hair volume will decrease over time in both sexes. The hair loss associated with genetic balding is also dependent upon time to express itself. Hair loss tends to occur at different rates at different periods in one's life with increased loss often occurring during periods of hormonal change, such as pregnancy and menopause.
Other Causes of Diffuse Hair Loss in Women
A number of "non-androgenetic" factors may be responsible for hair loss in women. Women's hair seems to be particularly sensitive to underlying medical conditions. Since "systemic" problems often cause a diffuse type of hair loss pattern that can be confused with genetic balding, it is important that women with undiagnosed hair loss, especially of the diffuse or "un-patterned" type, be properly evaluated.
Among the many medical conditions that can cause hair loss, the most common ones are:
anemia
thyroid disease
other endocrine problems (especially those that produce excess androgens)
gynecological conditions
connective tissue disease (such as Lupus)
surgical procedures and general anesthesia
rapid weight loss or crash diets that are not nutritionally balanced
severe emotional stress
It is also important to review the use of medications that can cause hair loss. The more common ones are:
oral contraceptives
thyroid medication
blood pressure medication (such as beta-blockers or water pills)
"mood" medication such as lithium, Prozac, or tri-cyclic antidepressants
blood thinners such as heparin or coumadin
cholesterol lowering medication
medication for gout, such as Zyloprim
anti-inflammatory drugs such as cortisone
vitamin A or tryptophan in high doses
street drugs (such as cocaine)
Laboratory Evaluation in Women:
The decision of when to perform a laboratory evaluation in women experiencing hair loss must be made on an individual basis by your physician. In this section we briefly describe some of the situations where your doctor may order lab tests and what they might be. It is important to stress that this is just an overview for your general information. When a physician orders laboratory tests he/she bases it upon specific clinical information and this can only be determined by the doctor who evaluates you.
The following signs and symptoms suggest that specific blood tests might be appropriate to rule out underlying sources of excess androgen:
Irregular periods - for an extended period of time
Cystic acne - severe acne which usually leaves scars
Hirsuitism - increased body hair that doesn't normally run in your family
Virilization - appearance of secondary male sex characteristics such as a deepened voice
Infertility - inability to become pregnant
Galactorrahea - breast secretions when not pregnant (this is due to prolactin which is not actually an androgen)
Some of the tests that your doctor might order in these situations include the following:
Total and Free Testosterone - the hormone that is mainly responsible for male secondary sex characteristics
DHEA-Sulfate - a precursor to testosterone
Prolactin - the hormone that enables the breast to secrete milk
Other test that are commonly ordered for underlying medical conditions include:
CBC (complete blood count) - for Anemia
Serum iron (and TIBC) - for Anemia
T3, T4, TSH - for Thyroid disease
ANA - for Lupus
STS - for Syphilis
Skin and hair scrapings - for microscopy and culture looking for bacteria and fungi.
Skin biopsy - will help identify lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, alopecia areata.
To determine the cause of your hair loss, your health professional should ask you about:
Characteristics of your hair loss. Is your hair thinning, with your scalp becoming more visible, but your hair is not noticeably falling out? Or is your hair shedding, with lots of hair falling out?
How long your hair loss has been occurring. How long has it been since you had your normal amount of hair?
Your family history of hair loss. Does your mother or father, brother or sister, or any other relative have hair loss? If so, what caused their hair loss?
Your hairstyling habits. Has your hair become fragile from pulling it too tight or from other hairstyling habits? Have you had any chemical treatments to your hair, such as perms or bleaching? Do you use a blow-dryer that may be too hot? Is a curling iron damaging your hair?
Any recent illness. Have you had any skin rashes, such as ringworm, recently?
Medications you are taking. Are you taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) or medications for arthritis, depression, or heart problems? Have you had any cancer treatment?
Your diet. Are you getting enough protein and iron in your diet?
