Seek medical treatment if you have irregular periods, itchy and painful scalp, unusual pattern of hair loss, balding of hair on eyebrows, red or abnormal scalp or sudden extreme hair fall. Here's a list of the medical treatment, which the doctor might prescribe to you as hair loss solutions.

• Topical application of minoxidil
• Dietary supplements for deficiencies and pills to treat imbalanced hormones
• Hair transplants are expensive, but effective and permanent treatment

Women don't lose hair like men as they don't develop bald patches like men. Instead, the hair fall is evenly spread out throughout the scalp. So ladies it is in a way good that we don't get ugly bald patches like men, but go through the overall thinning of hair.
