Women suffering from baldness can blame powerful andogens created by the ovaries and adrenal glands combined with loss of estrogen for their hair loss. This is evidenced by a high-rate of female pattern baldness among women during menopause when testosterone levels are highest among women.

Hair loss after childbirth is ... normal; however, this is not female pattern baldness. If you do have female pattern baldness, however, it is common to have less hair grow back after you deliver your child. Women often see a significant thinning of their scalp hair during and especially after menopause.

Hair loss can occur in women for reasons other than female pattern baldness. These may include temporary shedding of hair (telogen effluvium), breaking of hair (from such things as styling treatments and twisting or pulling of hair), patchy areas of total hair loss (alopecia areata -- an immune disorder causing temporary hair loss), some medications, and certain skin diseases.
