- If "male pattern baldness" in women seems a contradiction in terms, you
- may also be surprised to learn that this type of hair loss (androgenetic
- alopecia) is the main cause of hair loss in the estimated 20 million American
- women who face the reality of thinning hair. It is probably better described
- in women as "hereditary hair thinning", which shows itself as a generalized
- condition of the hair. For the most part this problem gets little
- recognition, though both patients and doctors say hair loss can result in
- altered life styles, shattered self-confidence and other emotional problems.
- In some cases hair loss is only temporary, resulting from medical disorders,
- or high fevers that accompany some infections. To educate women about hair
- loss, The Upjohn Company has developed a most interesting brochure; "Facts
- About Hair Loss; For Women Only". This comprehensive booklet, written with the
- help of dermatologists who are experts in female hair loss, explores the
- causes of hair loss and provides the reader with suggestions for coping with
- this often devastating condition. You may obtain your free copy by sending
- your request to "Facts About Hair Loss; for Women Only", P.O. Box 307, Dept
- AB, Coventry, CT 06238. You will find it interesting and informative reading.
