Unlikely: There are a lot of causes of hair loss in females. The pattern needs to be looked at and need to start simple first. One of the most common causes is iron def (w or w/o anemia), recent illness, physical stress. Before getting to worried basic things should be checked. Testosterone in a female also has a lot of controversy. START SIMPLE with a good dermatologist, Gyn or endocrinologist!
