Treatment for Female Alopecia Areata

Female alopecia, also known as female-pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia, is a common hair disorder. The following are commonly used treatment methods:

1. Medication: Minoxidil is a topical medication that promotes hair growth and is suitable for women with mild to moderate hair loss. Finasteride is an oral medication that treats hair loss by inhibiting the effects of androgens, but it is restricted to male use only due to potential effects on pregnancy.

2. Physical therapy: Includes ultraviolet irradiation, photodynamic therapy, etc., which improve skin blood circulation and increase nutrient supply to the hair follicles, thereby promoting hair regrowth.

3. Nutritional supplementation: Ensuring adequate intake of vitamin D, iron, zinc, and protein, as these nutrients are important for maintaining healthy hair.

4. Lifestyle modifications: Ensuring regular sleep patterns, avoiding late nights, maintaining good hygiene practices, regularly cleaning the hair and scalp, and avoiding the use of harsh shampoos and excessive hair dyeing or perming.

The above methods should be selected according to individual circumstances and conducted under the guidance of a qualified physician.
