Hair loss is a common concern affecting women of all ages. While losing a small amount of hair daily is normal, excessive shedding or thinning may indicate an underlying condition that requires medical evaluation.

At Summerland Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi, our Dermatology specialists provide personalized assessment and treatment plans to help women restore healthy hair growth.

Is Hair Loss Normal?

Most people naturally lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day. However, noticeable thinning, bald patches, or increased shedding may require professional evaluation.

Common Causes of Hair Loss in Women

1. Hormonal Changes

Pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal imbalances can affect hair growth.

2. Stress

Physical or emotional stress may trigger temporary hair shedding.

3. Nutritional Deficiencies

Low iron, vitamin D deficiency, and inadequate protein intake may contribute to hair loss.

4. Thyroid Disorders

Both underactive and overactive thyroid conditions may affect hair health.

5. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Hormonal disorders such as PCOS may cause hair thinning.

6. Genetics

Family history plays an important role in female pattern hair loss.
