- More women are suffering from hair loss problems, because
of stress, pollution, the contraceptive pill and the use of sex hormones
in food, a medical expert said today.
- Jennifer Martinick, president of the Australasian Society
of Hair Restoration Surgery, said other factors contributing to female
hair loss included anaemia, thyroid problems, fever, childbirth or chronic
malnutrition.
-
- Dr Martinick is one of a panel of experts who will speak
on the issue at the International Association of Trichologists seminar
in Perth today.
-
- "Problems with hair loss, which are typically associated
with men and post-menopausal women, are now affecting women in their 20s
and 30s," Dr Martinick said.
-
- She said while the psychological affects of hair loss
in men could be devastating, hair loss for women caused an enormous amount
of anxiety.
