I'm a 31yo Female going thru consistent hair loss for some 10-12 yrs. I've never really had a thick mane since my hair type is fine & I've inherited quite a low stock of hair follicles from my mom but I used to ve good hair thin textured but moderately dense across my scalp until 20. It started to fall out consistently over to a point that now my scalp is visible on the crown & front when my hair is wet or even dry. My question is: can I get hair transplant to increase the hair volume/density?

Answer: Female with hair loss The first step in evaluating hair loss in women, after a detailed history and physical exam, is to rule out any underlying medical causes of hair loss which can be treated. If clinically appropriate, the following disease processes should be considered: anemia, thyroid disease, connective tissue disease, gynecological conditions and emotional stress. Furthermore, over 50% of women going through change of life hormone fluctuations (menopause) experience significant hair loss. It is also important to review the use of medications that may cause hair loss, such as (but not limited to) oral contraceptives, beta-blockers, Vitamin A, thyroid drugs, coumadin, and prednisone. The following laboratory tests have been recommended to rule out the aforementioned medical conditions:
