My Partner had this problem when I first met her seventeen years or so ago, she is 50 and Chinese. Our Doctor gave her some cream to rub in and all seemed well until the last few months. As it was so long and several doctors ago, can't remember what she had. Now she is having the same problem, has got one main patch about the size of a £2 coin. She has always had quite a lot of hair loss, when she showers, but this is starting to worry her. Can we please have answers from those with the same problem, or are qualified to answer.

You are suffering from Alopecia and there isn't an effective medicinal cure for this condition. I suffered from a single circular patch for over a year and found it completely disappeared after visiting a Chiropractor (skeletal manipulation expert). I am certain than the condition was caused by trapped nerves in my spinal area.
Over a life time your skeleton can suffer many problems which the body adapts around. A Chiropractor attempts to correct these problems and this can have profound effects on health.
If you do go to a Chiropractor make sure he/she is experienced and accredited by a national body like the British Chiropractic Association or the equivalent in your country.

As you probably know it's a form of alopecia. Specifically 'patchy alopecia'.
There are several varients of this (including 'totalis' & 'universalis') - mostly caused by the bodies immune system attacking the hair folicles, and can be agravated by hormonal changes, stress and some types of medication.
Increased stress over excess hair-loss can simply compound the problem. As given her age, it may be hormonal, as a significant drop in oestrogen levels (female hormone) can cause hair loss in many women. I would suggest going to see a dermatologist as soon as possible for the immediate problem, but also speak to your doctor as they may recommend a hormonal therapy or allow you both to feel more at ease.

There are many methods to make our hair grow faster, shine , glitter in natural ways without using chemicals. Learn here https://bitly.im/aL9QV Men, and sometimes women, notice that their hair is thinning prematurely for several different reasons. Age, menopause, pregnancy, genetics, illness, and other factors all play a role in hair loss. Sure, you can use drugs or you can go in for a hair transplant or fusion, but sometimes the easiest, most inexpensive solution, is to try to stop hair loss naturally.

alopecia is what its called...can be cause by hormonal changes which is likely do to her age. may also be caused by thyroid disorder which sometimes also happens with hormonal changes. she needs to see a dr. and have a TSH level checked as well as hormone levels.
