In some cases, the medications that women take will absolutely cause them to lose hair. One widely known procedure, chemotherapy, will cause this to happen. There are certain classes of medication that will have a certain kind of effect on a woman, and the end result is hair loss. But some experiences are not of direct hair loss. So what happens is that the cycle of hair growth is interrupted, and it stops growing. But the net effect is the appearance of hair loss. So it will be very difficult to tell the difference if you don't know.
In women, the greatest cause of thinning and pattern baldness is the condition known as alopecia areata. Surprisingly, it's a disorder of the the autoimmune system. There is no real way to tell if you have this disorder on your own. It needs to be diagnosed by your doctor. So just see your doctor if you notice any thinning of your hair. But the great part is that alopecia areata can be treated. It can be treated because it is an autoimmune problem. Whatever is best for you in terms of treating the condition will be put together by your doctor.
One thing men and women have in common is that their hair will grow and fall-out in cycles. Everyone's hair will see a lifespan of maybe several years, give or take, and that's for each strand. There will be growth of roughly a half inch/month, and then in roughly six years it will be shed.
Women's hair loss does not get as much press as men's hair loss. We have no idea as to why this happens. However it is probably true that women are much more embarrassed about this and may not seek help with it. We can only hope that this will change in time. Research, time, and public awareness will hopefully shed more light on this area.
