Female pattern hair loss is a distinctive form of diffuse hair loss that occurs in women with androgenetic alopecia. Many women are affected by this. There is diffuse thinning of hair on the scalp due to increased hair shedding or a reduction in hair volume, or both. It is normal to lose up to 50-100 hairs a day. Another condition called chronic telogen effluvium also presents with increased hair shedding and is often confused with Female Pattern Hair Loss. It is important to differentiate between these conditions as management for both conditions differ.
Vit D will improvise the hair and reduce the hair from falling. but there could be many other factors at play also. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
