You may need to speak with a physician
to determine the cause (s) of your condition. Although women are prone to
genetic forms of hair loss, the dynamic of hormones often plays into effect as
well.

There may be other confounding variables
such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Individuals with this condition tend to
have a high level of androgens in their blood stream.  Testosterone can convert into DHT through the
alpha reductase enzyme.

And DHT will affect the base of the
follicle s, causing the structures to miniaturize.

Medications can offer the most promise
during the early stages of hair loss.

But
in later stages, a hair transplant can be beneficial. This would depend on
having enough donor hair grafts on the head to provide sufficient coverage.
