Understanding Menopausal Hair

Most menopausal women experience some sort of hair loss or thinning. Essentially, hair loss looks and works differently for women than it does for men. It doesn’t usually look like full baldness, but rather consists of thinner hair, a wider part, and overall more hair shedding.

The primary reason behind menopausal hair loss is the change of hormones – mainly in the levels of estrogen and progesterone. These hormones decrease, while hormones like testosterone increase. The dramatic shifts in hormones can cause your hair follicles to stop working properly, thus stunting hair growth and resulting in thinning hair.

Hormones aren’t the only cause of menopausal hair loss. There are other key factors that could be playing a part in the thinning hair and hair loss of women experiencing menopause. These factors include nutritional deficiencies, thyroid health, and other medical complications that may be affecting you. Always discuss your symptoms with a doctor to get a professional medical opinion and help you understand your options better. 

Hair loss is often difficult to see before it becomes significant. If hair loss isn’t recognized soon enough, there may not be sufficient time for the treatments to have their full effect.

We’ll help determine if there are any warning signs of hair loss, and we can recommend a treatment from there.
